May 22: I am Charlie, but really I'm John
This silly lost quiz thinks I'm Charlie:
...but, I think I'm more of a John Locke:
But, maybe--with my dashing good looks and penchant for attracting former (and sadly, not so former) heroin addicts--I'm a Claire:

May 21: Finally joined netflix
So, in an effort to reduce our debt, we're cancelling cable TV so we can direct the money we would've spent on cable to credit cards. To avoid an all-out child revolt and personal withdrawal, we've joined netflix. We're thinking of it as TV methadone. Of course, if we didn't join netflix, we could apply even more money to debt, but then again, we could also bathe in a stream to save money on showers or something equally drastic like drying our clothes on a clothesline in the basement to avoid using the dryer, one of the biggest money-suckers in the house (oh, wait, we are going to do this last part...).
Anyway*, back to the point of this pointless entry. We've joined netflix. Won't you be me my netflix friend?
In other netflix news, they've come out with a new set-top box that lets you watch your netflix instant queue on the TV. The reviews are somewhat mixed. The price is good ($100 for the box, no extra fees from netflix), it works well, etc. But, only a fraction of netflix's total collection, 10,000 or so titles, is available for instant viewing. My opinion is that they're probably continually adding to the instantly-viewable collection and that the box would be worth it.
* Almost all of my sentences begin with 'so' or 'anyway.' ( <-- I still hate putting the period inside the quote.)
