So frickin' sleepy.
I came home today to find that slow-as-shit Netflix finally delivered one of those "unlimited" discs. Knowing that if I didn't get it in the mail tomorrow, I would have to wait another freakin' week to get them to send another one out. Anyway.
So, I'm on the sofa, watching Jesus Christ Superstar, and what do I do? Sleep through it. I won't be trying to watch that later, either. That movie bored me to tears. I literally pulled the blanket over my head and turned my back to it.
Y'all know I'm a big fan of musicals and rock operas, but this one blows goats. It was just...nuh uh. I have to confess that I was going to talk some serious smack about Godspell's whole trying-to-be Hair (although the movie version predates Hair by a few years) but even in that movie I had momentary urges to get up and shake the booty a bit. Not so much with JCSS.
I'm not even going to bother picking it apart and discussing the thematic blah blahisms. I feel like I wasted a Netflix week (those slow fuckers).
Every season change I get this huge wave of delirium-laced sleepiness. I can't wait for fall to settle in good so I can keep my eyes open longer than 8 pm.

Slightly.
Posted by: Harvey at October 12, 2005 09:52 AMWe're about to cancel out NetFlix account, we just don't watch the movies very quickly at all and its stupid to pay $18 a month if the movies never get watched.
What are the unlimited discs?
Posted by: Johnny Huh? at October 12, 2005 05:35 PMmace: the closest Netflix processing facility is about 40 miles away. They just sit on our discs so long that the service becomes pack-mule slow.
J.H.: the "unlimited" discs are the discs we're not getting on our two-out-at-a-time/uncapped plan. I log how any discs we get each billing period. Last month we had 10 or eleven. This billing period, which ends tomorrow, we've had five. Even if we did take a week's vacation this period, it seems to me like they're pitifully erratic about getting those movies out. I wish there was a solution that didn't involve me going to Blockbuster twice per week.
Posted by: Tiffany at October 12, 2005 07:44 PMI guess I should be happy with Mace that my Netflix warehouse isn't crazy slow like that. Man, that sucks.
Now I've got "Day by Day" stuck in my head. I might just have to go watch Godspell later.
