Random thought of the day.

Do you know what really sucks? If you get that notification email from Netflix saying, "Thanks, we received Movie X on this date." And then you have the thought, "Hey, I don't remember what's next on my queue. I hope that it doesn't suck." But you don't take the time to log into Netflix to make sure that Movie Y doesn't suck and that you don't need to maybe switch it to Movie Z.

And then a few hours later, you get the email that says, "Movie Y has shipped on this date." And you realize that Movie Y does suck, and you should have switched to Movie Z.

That's not what happened to me today. In fact, I got the email that Angels in America is on its way, and I got really excited. But it did make me remember the value of heavily policing your Netflix list. Or else, that random movie that some friend said you needed to see worms its way to the top, and you find yourself with a Ken Burns civil war documentary* in your mailbox.

*I have not seen this series. It is on my Netflix list, but I keep demoting it because I'm never in the mood. Which only proves my point.
