Welcome Netflix! Bonjour Paris!

So today marked the first day of the Reasler's free month of Netflix. This was courtesy of some class action suit that the hub was part of. I have never had Netflix but I like the idea. We got 3 movies in the mail today and have already dropped one back in the mail for another. We watched Bolt tonight and it has made me want a white dog even more. Additionally it has made me want a cat called Mittens. I am not really sure what I am going to do with this information but I thought I d share my latest wants with you.

Also, I am going to Paris, yes that city in France, this Sunday or rather, I have a ticket to Paris and we will see how this week goes and if I actually get on the plane that goes to Paris. Work has some "sensitive" trailer negatives they want me to hand carry to the Paris Office. I am especially excited as I love Paris and the cityscape is still fresh in my mind from our trip back in November. But... in the back of my head I am trying not to get too excited because I have been up for trips a million times only to have them cancelled. In fact early today it was cancelled and then an hour later it was back on. Yes, the movie business is crazy. So if I make it through the week, I get on a plane on Sunday morning, arrive Monday morning Paris time. Wait for a company car to pick me up and take me to the Paris Office. I will hang out all day and hopefully the gang will take me around town so I can look at billboards and get a better idea of their needs and requirements. Not sure what I will do on my second day (but I am hoping it involves a chocolate crepe with bananas and whip cream) and on day three, I hop back on a plane and come back home. I'd say that is a pretty good work week! Hope it happens!

You're going to love NETFLIX, it's so easy! I think you said you had a WII, I know on XBOX you can get movies from NETFLIX streaming right to the XBOX. I think they have a deal with TIVO as well.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
