Spoiled by Snail Mail

What a fine weekend! The weather is absoloutely beautiful out - even though the wind likes to play tricks on people in skirts.

I got some spring cleaning done - did substantial purging of closets and drawers....asked myself "when was this ever a good idea?" several times out loud. Relaxed, listened to a lot of Brazilian music and Morphine and just enjoyed the sun. Seems like the last several weeks have been spent indoors watching Netflix, taking Facebook quizzes (most likely written by high school boys), and plenty of reading...or updating my Netflix.

I don't even remember the last time I stepped foot inside a "video store". Yesterday afternoon reminded me why I haven't been in one for some time. I've grown so accustomed to selecting what I want to watch online and then the DVD ends up in my mailbox within 2 days. Love that! The scene at a local Blockbuster this weekend was reminiscent of Pac Man. I'm certain that if you could peel back the roof and look down into the video store at any "busy" time - that is what it would look like. Browsers closing in on you from both ends of the aisle...no escaping the one person who seems to have to move as you move, pause when you pause... down. every. single. aisle. "Does it really take that long to read the back of Bagheads?!?!".

People are amazing and wonderful creatures - and yes, connection requires participation and all that. I've griped a good gripe about technology replacing authentic human interaction - but I'm willing to forego it in the case of renting my DVD's.

...are you done with Bagheads....yet?
