Not About a Movie...

But I did want to send out a short update.  I've added a link to The Book in the upper left hand corner of the blog, so if you'd like to purchase it and peek at the reviews to come, click there and it'll take you straight to the Amazon page for The Book.

Also, I'm loving Netflix again!  I cancelled my subscription around 3 years ago, I had hit a period of time where I'd gotten too busy to watch enough movies to make it worth the $20 a month, and I felt like I was just wasting the money.  However, in light of my new quest, and in the interest of not wanting to spend a fortune on movies that I may very well only watch once, I've signed up again.  They've updated so much...there's a ton of movies you can just watch online, and the suggestions have gotten really advanced.  I'm keeping it at the lowest unlimited plan, although I may downgrade it to the cheaper limited plan since there's so much that I can stream (side note on their "Instant Watch" feature, the last I checked, it did not work with Linux; for most people, that won't make that big a difference, since Netflix will interact with certain other devices, but my husband and I opted not to get a TV for the living room, and instead there's a computer running Linux that's hooked up to a projector...yeah, it's like a movie theater, and I know you're jealous ;) I haven't had a chance to try it, but as soon as I do, I'll slip in a note here).

Another side note, as I write this, I'm watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and though it's not in The Book, I do very highly recommend it if you have any kind of sense of humor at all.

Oh, and I've found Birth of a Nation Silent Film Plus Bo on Netflix, so the review should be up by Tuesday, hopefully tomorrow (depending on how the day goes, still kind of decompressing after the holidays).
