I've been spring cleaning in the basement. Not the sort of thing that I normally spend a lot of time doing, or bragging about, but I decided that I have space in my life and in my house to take a serious go at Getting My Stuff Organized, which I haven't really all done at once in 36 years on this earth.
I'm almost at the stage that you can tell that I've been doing stuff down there. I've been hesitant to talk about it, because I also tend to start such projects and then never finish. However, I discovered something new and concrete the other day. I subscribe to Netflix, and about a year and a half ago, I ended up totally falling off the wagon and having not watched the two movies I had for so long, lost them. Last October I finally called the company, and they declared that I'd bought those two movies and send two more to me. Well, last week, I found the lost two, so now I have four movies that I haven't watched:
While on a trip recently, I picked up a slim-line DVD writer
which is really slick because it's powered by the USB bus, so it doesn't need its own power supply. It's really small, so it will be able to go in a carry-on bag easily. And the Windows DVD player app that comes with it works really nicely. I bought it at Best Buy for $100. Here's me on the trip watching 3rd season TNG:
So...finding lost Netflix disks and getting caught up watchingn them isn't a major watershed, but it certainly indicates progress.
