Summertime Writing

I'm going to try to do JulNoWrimo (the July version of NanoWrimo) to help me figure out what's it is going to be like in November. Hopefully I can finish, but if not at least I will figure out some things that could mess me up later. I really want to be a winner in November.

And if you don't know what NanoWrimo is, take a look here.

The Chains of Cable TV

In an attempt to break free of my cable company I ordered a Roku player ($115 w/shipping). It shipped today and subscribed to Netflix's cheapest unlimited package at $8.99 a month. The Roku player lets me watch any of Netflix's online movies immediately on my tv. There are 12, 000 and also I can rent Amazon movies thru it too. I probably won't do this, but you never know. I also have something to hook my laptop to the tv so I can watch my shows like Top Chef from online. I haven't tried that out yet but if it works I should be good. I'm waiting on the Roku to get here to try it out without my cable plugged in for a week and see how it goes. If it goes well, I should be saving almost $80 a month between my cable and tivo subscription. Woohoo!!! Boy I hope it works. With work the way it is, I really need to get an emergency fund going.
Also I'm challenging myself to watch any movie I haven't seen on their online list. If I don't like it I'm not going to watch the whole thing but I wanna review them all. This should make the online list last for awhile and also add to my Listal list of movies too. I also get 1 DVD at a time from any of Netflix's movie sent to me in the mail. My first choice: the new version of My Bloody Valentine. It should be here tomorrow, I can't wait.
Fingers crossed crossed crossed that this works out!
