netflix

How do I say this -- I just got Netflix. I actually need to watch Orsen Welles' adaptation of Othello for class. But seriously -- Oh. my God. Did my life just get easier?

My head is spinning -- not because i got up early and spent noon-5pm in the graduate reading room of our library -- but because I seem to have forgotten all the directors I love. I've added a few Godard films that were so hard to find -- Weekend, which is supposed to be excellent. I'm also starting to add 40s films -- my personal favorite Cary Grant film is Bringing up Baby. I also added early Todd Haynes, like Poison...ooh.. maybe add the other Hal hartley films I haven't seen! Anyway, I'm mostly done with my Pomo paper (1 week early), but still have to keep plugging away at 2 more papers and prep work for discussion. My name , as luck would have it, was drawn from a bag and now I am to lead the class discussion for the last three days of class! Time for bath? sigh. I could collapse.

but the summer? with netflix? and Ben and Jerry's ?
