The last person in America

I have just joined Netflix. Since I'm usually years behind everyone else with this kind of thing, it must mean that everyone in America is now a member!

I downgraded my cable from "Super Digital" to "Expanded Basic" to help cover the cost. Of course, the rep tried to talk me out of it. He said, "You know you're giving up 200 channels for a savings of $5, right?" I said yes, but didn't elaborate. I didn't feel like explaining. The thing is, of those 200 channels, 1/4 are in Spanish, 1/4 are sports, 1/4 are music channels, and of the last 1/4 I watch 2 or 3 of them maybe once a week and only when nothing else is on. I'd much rather be watching a DVD of my choosing, hence the Netflix membership.

I'm only doing the one-at-a-time plan. That should get me a new movie or TV series every couple of days.
