It's free and they have all the new releases plus tons of great indies and really lots of great movies but I can't bring myself to take one out. Am I alone in this? It seems so ghetto and wine in a box klazzy. I want to do it..but I just can't. I am planning on going tomorrow to get new books and I think I might be bold and rent something... maybe.

I got Penn & Tellers Bullshit series...not sure if you can get that at Netflix. I got the Night gallery series too. Ever notice how Rod Serling has a gap in his front teeth?

Smart people live below their means.

I'm confused why the fuck you'd ask this though. don't you have a mind of your own? Can't you make the decision and do what you want? Are you seriously not borrowing movies because you are afraid of what someone will think? i personally think borrowing books at the library is just the grossest thing ever. The GERMS and shit. Ick.

Honestly, it was embarassing the idea of 'renting' the vids but the comment about living below my means being hella smart really is true so I'm going to be a rebel and go for it tomorrow. As for the CD's...I already rent tons of those, copy and return. They have lots of current stuff and it would be stupid not to.
