Netflix Excitement and Disappointment

I was completely stoked on Monday morning when Netflix emailed me that I would be getting The Hangover, which released on Tuesday. I mean, I really had to time this movie which required watching a DVD on Friday night to get it into Saturday’s mail so that that the Netflix center in Cleveland would process it on Monday morning early enough so I could get the first release. (Did you follow that. If not don't worry, it worked.)

However, I was disappointed when I got home this evening, having had two crappy days in a row, all I wanted to do was watch this moving that, if it's half as funny as the previews and reviews by folks like Jaws, I may wake the house with laughter. But guess what, the damn thing didn’t arrive today. I’m going to chalk it up to the US Mail service’s busiest shipping day of the year.

In spite of this grave disappointment, I was reinvigorated with excitement of a new Netflix alert that Inglourious Basterds had shipped today, which means, I should (US Postal Service provided) get that on Wednesday.

With the week I’ve been having, I think I will enjoy some LasVegas/alcohol induced comedy and Nazi killing.

POTUS
