and so the fam that has a completely diverse dvd collection (alphabetized by the way, because well, i'm a dork), cable, laptops/notebooks, & game consoles out the wazoo is hooked on...wait for it...Netflix! we are...totally.
what do we want to watch today? 'Phineas & Ferb' marathon? (usually). comedy? 80's movies? (yes, please.) horror for late night fixes?
the hubs recently got 'Private Eyes'...hilarious! Don Knotts & Tim Conway are classic! no curse words or graphic nudity; just clean old-fashioned silly goodness. movies that we forgot about are a click away! or at the very least, there may be a lil' something in the mailbox to break up the bills/ads/junk ratio.
but my favorite find...whether i'm viewing in the car pool line via phone or kicking back with a cold one after monkey goes to bed & the hubs is an assassin or a navy seal in the other room is 'My So-Called Life!" ahh, i loves it! 1994-1995...only lasted 19 episodes. so i am spreading it out. it so takes me back to the whole high school scenario. the way they dressed & the music is so indicative of when i was there (having graduated in '95.)
Claire Danes & Jared (hum-mana hum-mana) Leto in perfect teen angst portrayal. what is it with you 'Jordan Catalano'? why do you have to be that guy? you know, that is so aloof & jerky & frustrating, yet so so yummy? i don't know whether to rip your head off or stare at you like a crazed oober hormoned 16 year old girl. this was me in high school...i liked "that" guy! bad boy type...impulsive & dangerous; okay, so totally in the PG-13 sort of way, but still. the one who didn't know i was alive or if he did, he worked really hard to conceal this information. i feel for 'Angela.' thank goodness for crazy ass 'Rayanne' & of course, every teen girl needs a 'Rickie!'
do you remember going through all of this teeny bopper stuff? when everything was so freaking stressful? the end of the world was only a zit away & one or two mean girls could make you wanna absolutely die? friends change/spread apart...parents are clueless...you're trying so hard to find yourself. (sheesh, i'm still experiencing that last one.) you just don't know if you're ever gonna survive these popular vs. dreadfully not popular politics & embarrassing moments. and if you're different in any kind of way or go against the grain, then bless your heart. how the hell did we survive?
