The time waisting subscription... but its awesome
This video is really cool, but not what I am going to talk about. We watched it in psychology, it’s really crazy what your eyes can do when it comes to optical illusions. I did find this video on youtube which is kind of what I want to talk about. What this is all about is my new love that I just recently found, and that would be Netflix instant streaming on my PS3.
Talk about a time waster. I have started watching movies I have never even heard of. For those of you who don’t know what Netflix instant streaming is, it’s basically a huge database of movies that you can stream straight to your TV though you PS3, Xbox, or Wii, and it is fairly good quality too. My most recent discovery is the show Dexter, it comes on Showtime and the first 2 seasons are on Netflix. Basically I watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix in 2 days and then had to find the other 3 seasons on the internet. Most likely the best show ever, it is about a serial killer that kills other serial killers. Amazing show, I you have not seen it yet I would highly recommend watching it. (But make sure you have like 5 days of free time because one you start it you cannot stop)
Anyway back to Netflix, it is totally worth the 10 bucks a month it costs if you like to watch movies and TV. It has everything from really old movies to Family Guy, basically a little bit of everything. Oh yeah, and it has a ton of stand up comedy, which is great when you have a group of people hanging around and you need something to watch, because you cannot go wrong with stand up.
On another note, UNC vs. Dook game is tomorrow night. Super excited about that as you may have been able to tell from the last blog. I think we are definitely going to give them a run for the money, but I know it is hard to play at Cameron Indoor, so win or lose (hopefully win) it’s going to be a good game.

I couldn't possibly agree with you more. I too experience the thrill of having hundreds of movies and tv shows at my finger tips. Netflix could be the death of my studies given I watch a new season everyday. I haven't discovered Dexter yet but if you have never seen the series Spartacus. if you can get past all the beautiful naked women and violent testosterone filled fight scenes you can really come to appreciate the directors flawless description of the era. it would be hard to actually quantify the number of hours i've spent scrolling through the vast selection of entertainment but I can assure you it's a great deal more time than i've spent studying. I would also like to support your thoughts on stand up comedy. Stand up is a great thing to have playing in the background when you have people in your room. If you haven't yet seen the Kat Williams stand up I would suggest it. I was a little skeptical of Kat Williams at first but now that i've watched the show I've been dying to see more great quality stand up. Hope you have a great time browsing Netflix...I may turn mine on in a few seconds now that I've started thinking about it.
