I'm sitting here watching Legally Blonde THE BROADWAY MUSICAL on MTv.  Which I never would have caught inadvertently if my Netflix Online Viewing were working.

it's fabulous.  FABULOUS I SAY!

So yesterday I restarted my Netflix account in anticipation of the end of the baseball season.  I discovered in doing so that Netflix now has a feature where every account not only receives DVDs in the mail, but you also get a certain amount of "instant viewing" time through their website.  In my case 9 hours per month.  "Cool."

Today is the first day of the American League Championship Series and I'm reminded of all the reasons why October is quite possibly my favorite month.  Here's a list of said reasons:
