Netflix & Unicorns

[coell]

I decided to cancel the Blockbuster account and give Netflix another go since they offer unlimited online viewing and they sponsor the Totally Rad Show. Can you say "holy TV series catch-up time

I'd friend you on Netflix but I'm so embarrassed because I still haven't watched Donnie Darko and I've had it for almost six months now. I am a bad renter.

Oh but you must! I had Something Wicked This Way Comes for like three months. That's how they getchya!

Okay....*sheepishly*

Let me know if you can't see my profile because I made it private, but I think that means Friends can still see it.

I have SUCH ringtone envy right now, you have no idea

My old cell phone had a way to turn mp3s into ringtones, but this one's the cheapo junk model and I only have one way to get my own tunes on there: Record a voice memo holding the phone to the computer speaker, save it, and then set that as a Contact's custom tone.

This is also how I manage to avoid certain numbers -- my service won't block them so I recorded some silence on a voice memo, set that as their caller id ringtone, and then when that person calls, I don't hear anything. Yay!

waitwaitwait what's this "online viewing" thing? I've been muddling over whether I should get Netflix-- I don't know if I'd watch enough media to make it worth it, but if they have TV shows too--! Omg, SPN and Xena and House and Bones and Firefly and-- maybe I shuld get Netflix?

There's a free trial; see if you'd like it. There aren't a whole lot of online titles available that I'm into, but there are enough for a membership to make sense for a at least a month or two. I have the 1 DVD plan, since more than that tends to stack up on the entertainment center. Meanwhile, I'm able to just click Play on a few older movies, and then also a few TV series, which is nice when I'd heard they were good shows but don't want to spend my time/money renting a DVD, just give me an episode now to check out. I download torrents, so it's nice to feel like I'm doing things the legal way for a change.
