Starting up!

So, in my quest to fill my time, while my computer is vacationing in Cincinnati, I have re-joined Netflix. And, since I do nothing half-way, my queue (totally thought it was spelled que) is already up to 120 DVDs. I managed not only to find the 61 movies that I wanted to do but also many of the TV shows that I mentioned earlier, plus Saved by the Bell! Of course, the first review you can expect is The Breakfast Club.

Angela totally warned me about this!

When I got this blog Angela advised me to start making up excuses as to why I haven't updated in awhile ("my real life got in the way," etc.). I assured her, that since I had no life there would be no need to have any excuses at the ready. However, I did not anticipate LEAVING MY COMPUTER IN OHIO. D'oh! So, here is my excuse. My computer is 6 hours (or 5.5 hours if you average 70-75 mph) away in Louisville, OH. My parents are going to take it home with them (to Cincinnati, 8-10 hours away) and bring it with them at the beginning of May (when they come out for Luke's First Communion). Therefore, for the next month, my nights and weekends on the internet will depend on the kindness of my roommates (or them not being home and me just stealing their computers). How does this effect the blog? Updates will only occur at work (like that wasn't going to happen anyway) or when I can "borrow" a computer from a roommate.

There is an upside however. With all of the free time I will have because I am not playing around on the internet I can actually start working on the schtick of this blog. The schtick that I stated the very first day I put anything on the internet. The schtick that inspired my childhood...I can start reviewing the movies and TV of my youth. The time has come. The time is now.... Or tomorrow when I re-up my Netflix membership and then 2-3 business days after that when the first few movies come. Then of course the lag between actually watching the movies and writing something up. So not so much right "NOW" as "now-ish."

How much is too much cheese?

Is $80 of cheese excessive? If my roommates are lucky maybe some baby swiss or garlic cheese will make it home, along with the chocolate macadamia nuts.

Happy Easter!

Dude, how could I miss this?

Also, a question: A multicolored lollipop cross, sacrilegious or sacrelicious?

How will I ever choose?

Ah man, just when I had my list of movies (61, by the way) that I wanted to review I am bombarded with more topic options. You guessed it my friends, Doogie Howser, M.D. season 1 is now out on DVD and Netflix has it. Not only is Doogie now available, but also out are: Growing Pains, 21 Jump Street, Family Ties (apparently only on video... but that just means the DVD has to be in the works), Punky Brewster, The Cosby Show, Fresh Prince, In Living Color, Night Court, and Three's Company. I have not yet been able to find The Facts of Life...I guess for some reason there is not a huge demand (heh). All of these options will not be good for any socal life that I hoped to have. Who am I kidding? I didn't really have one in the first place. However, one saving grace is that not all of these are available on Netflix (or DVD) at this time. Another is that I have yet to find copies of 3-2-1 Contact and The Bloodhound Gang available in any format. Man I loved that show (shut up I know I am a dork. I liked Square One too; I hung out at the library; and I ate granola bars in the park with my friends after dark. Want to make something of it? I thought not.) Hopefully I will be able to pace myself. Although, I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew...
