I'll Be Your Spark

I have finally found the right forums for the right subject matters for my online things.  :)  Blogger I plan to use for any longer posts or rants I feel I need to go on, Tumblr is a great way to find something quick and easy to post, and I've recently joined Sparkpeople.com (basically a free version of Weight Watchers) to get started on my weight loss journey....again.  Wish me luck, I'll need it.  :)

Also to aid me in my journey, I'm going to talk to Ryan to see if he'd like to join to be my online/virtual buddy to try to keep me focused and on the right track for losing the weight I'd love to lose.  :)  Maybe if the support is coming at me from all directions (in real life AND on the site,) I'll feel more like I have to stay focused and motivated.  Let us hope!

In other news, I have a first date tonight with someone I gave my number to on Friday night.  :)  I'm pretty excited, and I think it'll go well.  I'll try to keep up with updates and such if I feel that I must write something about what happened.

Okay, well adios mi amigos!  I need to start my day and get my butt into gear.  Until next time!

Tumblr is Stealing My Affections

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while!  I decided to try Tumblr (thinking I wouldn't like it.)  And surprise!  It's my favorite!  Tumblr is essentially a love child of Blogger + Twitter.  It's fast, easy, and I don't have to go into huge detail about any topic I want to talk about.  It is really simple to just post a picture with or without caption, and not have to explain it.

Don't get me wrong, there will be some topics I'll want to extrapolate on myself, but for now I'm reveling in the quick-and-easy posting mechanism that does what I want with less work.

Netflix Queue

Hello, Blogosphere!

Today I'm here to chat with you all about Netflix, and what my queue currently looks like. 

Back in October, I finally decided that I was sick of trying to (illegally) stream videos and things to watch when I got bored (and deal with the stress of wondering if I had infected my computer with a virus in the process,) so I decided to give Netflix a try after noticing that it really wasn't a scam, and that many of my college counterparts are also signed up.

Long story short, I LOVED it.  I quickly went through and found literally hundreds of titles that I've wanted to see but haven't had the chance, as well as oldies but goodies.  Unfortunately, my excitement was capped when I reached the 500 title limit for the queue.  Hahahaha.  Awesome.

Since then, I've been working hard to bring down the queue to a more manageable level, which is sometimes really rather difficult considering some of the other stuff I have on my list (separate from the queue) consists of about 40 television shows I've wanted to see or have heard pretty good things about, but never had time/was able to sit down and watch them as they were aired on television. 

Now-I'm making up for lost time.  At 500 movies and 40 television shows (not counting the many seasons some of them have,) I definitely have my work cut out for me.

Now, what's taking so long?  Well, when I signed up for Netflix I told Ryan we would be able to watch a lot of these movies together, and when we were both satisfied, we could delete the title from the queue.  That turned out to be a much more difficult process than originally intended.  Our schedules are both very hectic, so it's becoming a 'Megan-watches-a-movie-and-rates-it-and-when-Ryan-watches-it-he-can-delete-it-from-the-Queue' sort of process.  Currently, I'm at about 450-something movies in the physical queue (the ones that physically get sent to your mailbox,) and about 48 titles in the Instant Watch queue.

In short-we're working on it.  :)  There's a LOT of really great media out there, and I'm proud to be supporting Netflix with my business.  They have an amazing company, and I think I'll be registered with them until the day I die (or run out of movies and television shows to watch.)
