• Netflix

Sucks to be you if you go past the deadline.

I never use BB. There's local outfit called Family
Video with locations all over the area. FV has first-runs,
recently viewed (older) for a buck and a selection of basic stock
at 2 for dollar. They have selection of kids movies for free.
Sailor Moon is in the kids section but I don't know why.

You may want to check out your library to see what they
are doing with media. Sometimes there's a wait so if you
have to be Mr. Firstnighter (like the old radio show) then
you'd have to stick to the stores.

I never go anyplace but FV and they have a good steady
clientelle. What's funny is that here in Joe McCarthy's home
town, this place also has an adult section in the back
which is monitored but not seen by the general browsers in
any offensive way. Something for everybody. And they haven't
been busted since they opened 10-15 years ago. I think they have
20 locations.

So it's cheap and, like the sign says, has something for the
whole family.

Bill says he gets stuff delivered. For me that would take
the fun out of it. I have no kids so seeing the running and
hearing the screaming is fun for me.

Here's another funny thing. Alona always called 'em "Blockbastards." That's just what her ears heard and what she tended to repeat. I guess she didn't pay atention to the sign; Even after I pointed out how funny that was and showed her the actual name, she still called them "Blockbastards." The name stuck.

But I'm still too spur of the moment to sign up with Netflix. I do a lot of business with Blockbuster. But I always return the next night too, paranoid about the late fees. Hell, that's the reason I put a hot cam and stuff in the Olds. Gotta get those damn movies back on time.

What's the news?
