Billy meets very interesting people on the train. One day he met the husband of the husband/wife team that owns and writes the Hacking NetFlix.com blog. My friend JoAn keeps telling me I should be telling you about all the resourceful ways we do what we do without a car. So the two together resulted in this post.

I've been popping in from time to time at the Hacking NetFlix.com blog and one of the topics really caught my attention: Blockbuster Launches Total Access Program. They asked this question: "Would you consider switching from Netflix to Blockbuster because of the Total Access program?"

My first response thought was, "No! What a pain in the who-ha that would be to walk 1.5 miles just to deal with movies." .... but as I got to thinking back to this last year we spent with Valerie and the fun and games of renting movies through BB, I came to the conclusion that I really do not miss the BlockBuster in-store experience.

The only way the BlockBuster in-store exchange could appeal to me is if they ...

1) Provide me with a car or tear down the house across the street and put in a store.

(All of the following stand regardless of car or location arrangements they provide.)

2) On snowy days/nights they deliver.

3) On cold days/nights, they deliver.

4) On days that the temp exceeds 85 they deliver.

5) On days that the humidity level exceeds 85% they deliver.

6) I can shop in my pj's.

7) As soon as I walk in the store they begin previewing only movies I want shown.

8) As soon as I enter, all crying/whining children and adults are hustled out of the store.

9) The person behind the counter waves me to the front of the line and is very cheerful and engages me in brilliant conversation ... all while quickly expediting the procedure.

10) All trashy edibles are removed from the store and replaced by organic whole foods. (I hate the smell of the stores.)

Until BlockBuster complies with my demands, I'm resourceful ... I can entertain myself between NetFlix deliveries.

I thought I'd start pampering myself and get caught up on Chick Flicks ... Do you have a fave three? Ok, Or does the woman in your life have a fave three?
