So, yesterday was my birthday. Huray, I am 26 now. Good Gravy that is old. Ok, maybe not really, but that is way close to 30 and THAT is way old. Anyway, thanks for the birthday wishes from those sent them and for those who didn't, well you are a jerk, ha, so take that. This is kind of random, but I received an email from JetBlue today. As some of you may now, last week the airline company had a rough time with the weather up northeast and there were some serious delay/cancelation issues. Well, today I received an email from them about their unprofesional buisness practices last week. This is pretty neat, but what is great is that I didn't even have a flight with them last week. I got on one of their mailing lists a while back for some free stuff and they just wanted me(and everyone else they have email address for) that they are sorry and have institued a Customer Bill of Rights. I had heard some talk about this on the political side, forcing the airlines to create one of these but JetBlue went ahead a actually did something about it. If I didn't have to fly Delta for work then I would give JetBlue a try and see how different it really is. Well, it is late and I have work in the morning, just like the rest of you. Maybe.

Ok, so I have been up to a lot of nothing really. Preparing for our trip to France in March, having a birthday party, sleeping, eating, you know the usual. So, I have two purposes for this post tonight. #1 - Netflix #2 - Tagged. Well, with Netflix they have started allowing online viewing of movies. It only works in IE so that is a bummer, but the rest of it is pretty good. You log into your account, select the Watch Now tab and then click the Watch Now button under the movie. They don't have all their movies setup right now, but it is my understanding that they are hoping to have all of their customers setup for online watching by July and the movies available are a very limited selection right now, but they are updating them on some sort of schedule I would imagine. It takes about 30-40 seconds to start the movie, but then it is seamless all the way to the end. The detail suffers a little, but most of the time I can't even tell. I also watch LOST, Prison Break, Heros, Jerhico online and all of them have really big trouble with keeping up and time is wasted waiting for the next secition to be prepared but this has not been a problem with any of the movies I have seen online. Also, you get 1 viewing hour per $1 you spend on your monthly rentals. So, you still get however many DVDs AND an hour/dollar you spend. It works out pretty good.
#2 - So, Mark Adams tagged me for this thing where you have to list 6 strange things about you. Well, here goes nothing.
1. I suffer from a very minor case of Trichotillomania.
2. I suffer from Male Answer Syndrome. This means I take two things you said and I make up a third logical thing and pass it off as truth. Some might call this lying, but I usually tell people I have no idea what I am talking about afterward.
3. I love to eat corn dogs. I mean it is an unnatural love for the sweet sweet corndog.
4. I also love BBQ. Actually, I just enjoy eating in general. More then I should, I love to eat food and good food is even better.
5. I like cartoons. I get up early on Saturday morning to watch them because there are no other cartoons on the rest of the week(no cable) and that is the only time.
6. I struggled to fill out this whole list. Does that count as strange? How about my paralizing fear of heights. Yeah, that can work for number six. Like, when we went to the Grand Canyon, the close I got to the edge the lower I had to squat until I was flat out on the rock just to peak over the side.

I know it has been more then a little while since I have posted. I have meant to really I have, but I have been haveing some conflicts at work. Maybe I will write about them later. I just wanted to short post that I now have instant viewing available with my Netflix. Basicly, I can watch up to 15hours(dependent on plan) of movie,tv, whatever they carry on my computer every month. This amount is going to go down, because I just shifted my plan to a lower amount. This does not effect my two at a time DVD check-out at all. Anyway, back to the grind.
