For starters, it's my new goal to post to my blog at least once a week about something. I mean, come on, at least one interesting thing has to happen to me every week, right?
Today I want to talk about my love of Netflix. Best $15 I could spend each month. If I was a better student, I would wisely cancel my Netflix subscription so I would get more work done. But alas, it makes me too happy. And I've learned from the few months here and there when I've been out of school that life is less fun when you don't have anything to procrastinate doing.
I mainly use my Netflix subscription for watching TV series. It can be hard for me to make time to watch an entire movie, but I can somehow make time to watch 5 episodes of Veronica Mars in a row (just one more episode.....). The most dangerous part of Netflix for me is the ability to watch so many things instantly now. I honestly don't know what I would do without a good wireless connection anymore.
My latest Watch Instantly discovery that blew my mind and made my week is Shelly Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. I used to check the VHS tapes of each individual faerie tale out from my local public library all the time when I was younger, to the point where I have memorized most of the words from and have certain foods associated with my favorite fairy tales (bread for Hansel and Gretel, sugar doughnut holes for Cinderella...don't ask me why). Netflix has the whole 7 disc set of 26 fairy tales available to watch, a few of which I have never seen before because they weren't available at my library.
It's so much fun to go back and watch these stories that played such a big role in my childhood and in the formation of my very active imagination. Thank you Netflix!
P.S. I'm pretty sure that my favorite of the 26 fairy tales is still The Dancing Princesses.
