Weekend roundup
Mar. 6th, 2011 08:58 pmI made a decision: If I don't watch at least one thing from Netflix most every week, I'm going to cancel it. Most things in my DVD queue are things I'd see if I have to have something sent to me, not things I want to watch. My instant queue is a little better but not by much. (I never knew I was so little of a movie person; I spend hours going though the Netflix catalog and can't find anything I want to see.)
As part of that, I did the software updates and stuff to make me able to watch movies instantly on the Wii (thus on TV). That helped a bit. (If I only watch things on the computer, it's a pain because I have to keep flipping back and forth with WoW.)
I watched the new Star Trek movie, which wasn't bad. I'm not sure if I would have liked it more if I had watched it with 100% of my attention or not. Seemed like a typical summer movie.
The other movie I watched was Frozen. I went into it expecting it to be one of those "so bad it's good" movies. It got half of that right... Cut for "spoilers", as if this movie could have such a thing. ( Three kids are trapped on a ski lift... )
And in non-movie news: I found a new (new to me) market in WoW. The money is seriously good (I made 10K in just over a day), but I decided it's too much work for me. I have more money than anyone in a game would need, so I'm just going to sell off the stuff I have now and try to resist buying more mats.
I kind of envy that blogger I was annoyed at (the one who gave away all the goldmaking secrets), it would be nice to be able to openly talk about this stuff to folks. Ah well, maybe one day when I quit.
New Kitty is settling in. It's so strange having a young cat! She runs around and explores everything and wants to play lots. She can sleep anywhere and in seeming any position! Such as almost upside-down. The pillow has her butt up in the air, all the blood must be rushing to her head!
