to alec, love rocco

we signed up for NETFLIX! i can't wait. i have 22 movies in the queue already. i am going to be a movie-watching machine. for the longest time we have wanted to join but didn't trust the people in the building - i guess we are that paranoid - because the mailman won't put the DVD in the mailbox. however, we decided to throw caution to the wind and give it a shot.

the other main reason for our delay of game is that we didn't want to let our local video store guy - rocco - down. he is going to go out of business and we are now a small part of why. even as i write this i don't think i can take it. michael promised me that we will still rent at least 2 movies from him a month. the $8 a month will see him through the hard times, right?

i don't know why i'm worried about him though, he has written the next great screenplay and will be hitting the big time soon. this is what he tells me. i told him that he might want to enter his script into some of the screenplay contests that are out there - it's too good for that - was the reply. he was actually offended that i suggested it. i'll tell you though, it would be a weight off my mind if i didn't have to worry about keeping him afloat.
