My Nature

I don't especially care to mention brand names when I don't profit by doing so, but sometimes it can't be avoided. Such is the case when talking about certain ways in which my idiosyncrasies manifest themselves. One is my use of Netflix. In the days when I went to the old video store, I normally had only to choose one movie at a time (never exceeding three), and had no means to plan beyond the evening I was at the moment procuring entertainment for. All that being the case, it would take me an abnormal amount of time to make a choice. I hesitate to guess a typical elapsed time, but suffice it to say that no ordinary video store patron would need so long.

Getting Back On the Horse

Like many, I'm a Netflix subscriber. Most of us find that at one time or another, our discs just sit around for a long time for lack of the will to watch them. Such has been the case for me since perhaps a couple of weeks before the Oscars. At that time, I received "The Duchess" starring Keira Knightley, and just could not get myself to put it on until now. Well, having finally watched it, I enjoyed it sufficiently to give it three stars out of five, and will now offer comment on those films that I watch if I'm moved enough to do so.
