TrueBlood

I started watching TrueBlood this week.  I think I’m going to enjoy it.  It seems like they’re making their own vampire rules though.  Like vampires are affected by silver and their blood seems to magically heal humans.  But, these rules do add an interesting twist to the show.

I’m not watching Season 2, which is currently airing.  I don’t have HBO anymore.  That’s OK!!  I can catch it when it comes out on DVD with the old Netflix catchup…

Back to Netflix

I had to go back to Netflix.  Redbox is great, but the selection is very limited.  Granted, they have the latest releases..but..not TV Series.  I heard about an HBO series “True Blood” that sound right down my line.  Well, I don’t have HBO anymore.  I checked Redbox and of course they didn’t have it.  I checked Netflix, of course they had it.

Sorry I ever left you Netflix!!

R U Ready??

This coming Friday..DTV Transition!!  I hope everyone out there is ready.  The wait if finally over.  I remember writing a paper in college back in 1997 about this transition.  12 years later, it is finally upon us!!

Let’s see if they really boost their signals like they claim they willl after the transition.  Especially ABC and CBS.

Game Changer

Yesterday I made a few BIG changes!!

I canceled my Netflix account for one.  My co-worker told me that there was a new RedBox on the route I take to work.  I had never used a RedBox before, but was always interested in them.  I had heard good things about it.  Lately I’ve been too busy to watch the moves I get from Netflix.  With RedBox I can control when I get a move.  And for $1 a day, it’s OK with me!!

I also cancelled my Audible account.  I basically got the account so I could finish The Dark Tower series.  I read books 1-4, but got tired of reading so I got books 5-7 on Audible.   Audible is great, but I never have time to listen to my podcasts.

And finally, I subscribed to GameFly.  There is alot of great games coming out.  But, at $60 a pop I don’t get to play many of them.  Also, I tend to lose interest in most games if they aren’t a game I can pickup and play for only 20-30 minutes…like Call of Duty 5 Deathmatch.  Also this will give me a chance to get some of the games my brother gets on GameFly and we can play them together.

Yeah…these moves are a real “Game Changer” for me…..

Snow Day

Enjoyed having a Snow Day off from work yesterday.  Spent most of the day watching the Inauguration (which was very moving…I’ve never seen that many people at an Inauguration before).  Then I played a little Call of Duty.  Then I spent the rest of the day watching “The Office” through Netflix through my XBox 360.

I’ve been watching “The Office” for a long time now.  I just realized last night that Dwight always wears a gold shirt!  I had missed a few episodes, so I starting wathing them on Netflix to make sure I was all caught up.   I finished up Season 2 last night and watched the first 3 episodes of Season 3.

Great Snow Day and congratulations  to President Obama!!
