Snow falling through Netflix

Jan 12, 2009 15:12

I had this dream last night that was very unsatisfying. I was standing very close to 3 or 4 strangers. I was wearing only bikini style panties and they were fully clothed. And these people were rubbing my body with the palms of their hands. But it wasn't sexual at all! And in my dream I was thinking "that guy is rubbing my stretch marks". It is so disappointing that many of my dreams that involve nudity or potential sexy times turn out to be exercises in creating strange situations. I am such a weirdo. Maybe this is a sign that I need to incorporate more pornography into my daily life. There's a New Year's resolution for ya!

Now that I have broken the ice by talking about sex-
The Netflix. If you have been keeping up with the kleptoskamra 's emojournal then you know that you can friend our Netflix account. Go ahead you know you want to see all the crazy sheot we watch! We have exacerbated our own craziness through the use of the instant play feature. Apparently, I will attempt to watch anything if it can be instantly streamed through the sexbox 360. A couple of movies I started watching and fell asleep to:

1. Into Great Silence
A documentary about a remote monastery. The first half hour is complete silence. Seriously I don't think there was a soundtrack at all. But I can't be relied upon for accuracy as I have fallen asleep twice whilst trying to watch it.

2. Homo Sapiens 1900
Another documentary! This one is a poor history of eugenics. I have fallen asleep twice before the film launched into the Nazi regime. The soundtrack quality is slightly better than a filmstrip and is emphasized by agonizing intervals of blank screen.

Interesting topic of conversation - quack science +socialism in Germany = holocaust or quack science + communism in Russia = holodomor. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Also, we are slightly snowed in. The last time it snowed this much it was a real bitch to try to get the car out of close parallel street parking. The frozen solid foot high bank of snow between the wheels and the road is a problem that a plastic shovel can not solve. Supposedly the city of Chicago has decided to go ahead and start plowing and salting side streets on a regular basis. I call shenanigans! as our neighborhood streets have yet to be plowed.

Oh! did you hear about that? Daley decided that side streets wouldn't be plowed so that the city could save money. Finally the protests about increased car accidents and the timely ability of firetrucks and ambulances to get through neighborhoods etc., etc. has been heard. Sort of. Seriously, why must Chicago make a laughingstock of itself? I wish Blago lived downstate so that wouldn't have the additional shame of his presence.

Back to being snowed in - we need to go grocery shopping. Last night I tried to arrange a Peapod delivery for today but the time slots were sold out! That was something I didn't know could happen. I may try again tonight for delivery tomorrow sometime after I get off work. But also only if I can find a coupon code for monies off and/or free delivery. We are running low on milk so I may just have to walk to the store. (Which I actually do all the time but not for a crapwad of stuff through over a foot of snow) Klepto gets very ornery when there is no milk in the house. He did bravely make a foot journey for milk and Chinese food the other day. Thank goodness we live within blocks of two different Chinese restaurants! Crab Rangoons does a body good.
