I stopped watching Extreme Home Makeover earlier this year. Turned it on tonight because I’m sick of my movies atm and there’s nothing else on. And then I remembered why I stopped watching the show: it’s emotionally draining. I’m an emotional wuss to begin with but when the first five minutes of a TV show have you sobbing uncontrollably maybe it’s time to pop in a movie – any movie. Jeesh.

To be fair this one was about a father and his three girls, and the young mother died of a pulmonary embolism and the father found her dead in their bedroom, alone, and the oldest child (6 years old) kept crying and ugh, I was a goner. My mom’s death hit me hard just then. Pulmonary embolism. Dying alone. And I’m a goner again.

So now I’m watching something else.

So I’m now a member of Netflix (much love and thanks to Gary – you couldn’t have chosen a more perfect xmas pressie for me 🙂 ) and I’ve been playing with it all weekend.

Then I discovered they allow you to have RSS feeds of your Netflix queue (you create a queue of movies you want them to send you. They send the first three, then when you return those, you get the next three in your queue. It’s pretty neat) so being the geek that I am, I added my queue to the site. Why? Because I can 🙂 I stuck it on ukmelia.com, the movie page and this one.

Shan wants her queue on her site aswell so that’s my next project on this oh so very dull Sunday.
