The schedule wasn't "business as usual" at FBC this morning. We had a patriotic emphasis in the worship service and then SS was to be held off campus - each department will choose their own time and place. I invited all of my toddlers over to my house but none of them are allowed to drive so they had to go wherever mom and dad are going. Bummer! So, I am going to work on a few things in my office and then head over to see Zoe. She has a pool AND cable tv!
Last year, at Christmas time, I joined Netflix. I chose the one-at-a-time unlimited plan which means for 8.99 plus tax, movies show up one at a time in my mailbox. I watch them at my convenience, put them back in the mailbox and voila! another movie appears. The selection is amazing and the turnaround time is never more than three days (I mean I put return movie in the mail on Monday, I receive my next selection on Wednesday.) I can't really say I have been adventurous in my selections: I've seen newer movies like No Reservations and 27 Dresses. Neither one of those were remarkable but my curiosity was satisfied. I'm working on seeing every Jane Austen movie, PBS and Hollywood versions. I keep a list of all the movies I've rented and rate them 1 to 5, There has been only one movie I didn't watch past the first 10 minutes (rating 1) but several I would like to own (rating 5) Martian Child with John Cusack is one of the movies I purchased. Based on a true story, it is about a widower who adopts a 7 year old boy who believes he is from Mars. I can't promise you there is absolutely no profanity but there is no sex and that is a refreshing change.
Akeelah and the Bee is another movie I would recommend. Akeelah prompted me to put Spellbound, a spelling bee documentary, on my list. I haven't seen it yet so I'll have to get back with you on that one.
Anyway, if Zoe has a dvd player, I am going to watch August Rush this lazy Sunday afternoon. I hope you holiday weekend was a good one.
