Wow, 2006 is here already! I’ve been off from work for about 3 weeks now for my Christmas vacation so I’ve been dreading coming back to work today. What did I accomplish in my time off? Well, I learned that deer burgers taste pretty darn good! I learned that making your own Hard Apple Cider is alot harder to get right than I thought. I really enjoyed seeing Fun with Dick and Jane while I suffered through the overrated Napoleon Dynamite. I learned just how bad Houston’s NFL team actually is. Like most people, I did NOT buy an XBOX 360. I enjoyed time with friends & family, playing lots of trivia, but only playing poker once! I debated the point of blogging, thus inspiring this post. And most importantly, I avoided thinking about work until today. Have a great 2006 everybody!

I finally quit NetFlix after 2 months. (1 free, 1 paid) I was VERY impressed with the service, but I just couldn’t keep up the pace of going through so many movies. Anyway, here are the rest of the movies I rented from them:

• Tears of the Sun
• Radio
• Catch Me If You Can
• Phone Booth
• Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
• Signs
• Coupling Season 1, 2, & 3
• Scarface
• Reservoir Dogs
• Sling Blade
• Are You Being Served? Again
• Silence of the Lambs
• Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
• American History X
• Red Dragon
• The Whole Ten Yards

I’m giving NetFlix a shot. I’m trying to see how many movies I can actually go through in a month. I’m doing pretty good so far, I’m just over two weeks and I’ve already gone through these:

• Bruce Almighty
• Master and Commander
• The Last Samurai
• Blazing Saddles
• The Passion of the Christ
• The Mothman Prophecies
• Once Upon a Time in Mexico
• Dances with Wolves
• The Hulk
• Runaway Jury
• School of Rock
• Schindler’s List
• Fargo
• Kill Bill: Vol 2

Once I’m done I’ll give BlockBuster and Wal-Mart a try to see which of the three is better.

Also, my line-of-site multi-home wireless network has been choking lately. It makes me sad
