Wetwired an Austin Texas Blog

I wish these wankers would have an exportable list of the movies in “your queue”. Netflix has the ability to have 500 movies listed in the queue for your renting history. I decided to write a letter to them hoping it won’t fall on deaf ears.

I know you should be well aware of the online craze that has become Blogger (http://www.blogger.com) that is now owned by Google.

I would like to make a request to have an exportable version of the movie “queue” in XML or php that can be tied in with say a side bar for many of the online weblogs.

Many companies underestimate the ability of these personal weblogs to have an impact on sales or advertising and promotions. But time and time again, major news companies like CNN /FOX/CBS have pointed out that this new craze is holding steady and has the ability to sway large numbers of visitors. For Netflix to not take advantage of it, would be a mistake.

I have been using NetFlix since February and for the money, I can honestly say its worth it. If you rent a lot of movies - You’ll save money. Even at the slowest point you can still get 3 DVD’s a week at $21.95/month. If you were to rent 3 DVD’s a week from blockbuster and return them on time - that’s $47.88/month. Now if you are like me and freaking turn almost every movie in late it averages out to $100/month bucks with late fees. Now, when it comes to Netflix, generally I can squeeze SIX DVD’s a week out of them because Austin happens to have a distribution hub and I really do get next day delivery of almost all their DVD’s. If I was to rent from Blockbuster without paying late fees - $95.76.

How the hell do I watch 6 movies a week? The answer is, I don’t. Half the time I am only able to “archive them” and watch them at a later time.

That Certain Something

In my admittedly limited experience with domestic bliss and relationship harmony, I have found that there are certain things the other person does that may not be specifically designed to please you but are just those little things that make being with them a true pleasure. While certainly people can and will go to extraordinary lengths to please their partner, these are really not what I am referring to. I’m referring to the small habits, mannerisms, caring actions, etc that are what I consider the cement of any good relationship. The most famous of these is the ’secret smile’, the smile that nobody gets but you. My last girlfriend had that smile, and I can still picture it like it was yesterday. (and I assure you it was considerably longer a time ago) I don’t really want to turn this into a depressing remembrance of love lost, yet I am quite curious to know what the experiences of everyone else has been, a sort of closer look at relationships at their most basic level.

So I will start this forum, by recounting two things that stand out in my memory most, some 4 years later. One of the most simple things that always made me feel very cared for was whenever we had friends over at the house to play cards and drink beer, she would always watch me, and when my beer was on its last swallow, she would go open another, bring it to me, and take the old one away. Not something I ever asked her to do, not something anyone had ever done for me before, but something that made me feel, well, special. The other thing was how she used to take these long long baths and used all of these beauty products that moisturized, softened, and whatnot that had her coming out of the bath smelling lovely with the softest skin…

Ok, now that I feel foolish for posting this, perhaps everyone else can join me and share some of the little things that made their previous relationships memorable on a day-to-day level.

A quick search on the word fluffers now has wetwired on the 8th page. What a daunting task we have ahead of us to make wetwired the fluffer capitol of google.

Whoa, they’ve made audioblogger free again! I’ve decided to post about CrankitUP.

I first saw this at Wizbangs - Mary Kate and Ashley’s letters too each other can be found here. Damn thats funny.

I saw the E! special about us last night. Hey, isn’t it weird that we’re all rich and famous and beautiful, but our mom looks like complete white trash in the photos they show? I mean, she totally looks like she’s sold it for crank before.

They have released the South Korea Beheading video. But the place is not work safe - at least this one isnt.

Ah.. another Vietnam.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — U.S. military planners are preparing to send possibly as many as 15,000 additional ground troops to Iraq if the level of violence increases, CNN has learned.

So basically we go this little police action going on… the country is kinda split between peace loving Iraqi’s and crazed militants. Sounds a little familiar. I remeber us pulling out of that war cause we finnally realized you can’t police nut cases.

Today on Survivor a person will be voted off a bit later. Check it out. Shhh.. I know who it is.
