Time management with Dexter

Anyone out there watch Dexter? I recently streamed the first episode through Netflix because I had heard a lot of good things. I watched the episode and really liked it. It was very unique. I liked the story, the action, pretty much everything about it...except for one little thing. The show is an hour long.

I don't mean to make it sound like my time is super valuable, because lets face it I waste a lot of it, but an hour is a big chunk of time. Especially in the world of streaming Netflix. I could spend that time watching 2/3 of a movie, but Dexter wants me to use that hour to watch 1/12 of it's first season story? That's a big commitment.

I realize this seems silly but it's just the way my mind manages time. I really would like to watch the next episode, and ten following that one. But I haven't. It's been about two weeks since I first sat down and watched the first episode. And the more I think about it the more I realize that time is the only thing holding me back.

Maybe tomorrow will be the day that I watch episode 2.

The Negative Effects of Netflix

For the last year or so Netflix has been allowing users to stream thousands of movies live on to their computers, TVs, and through their Xbox consoles. I recently resubscribed to Netflix and have been loving the service. It gives the ability to watch tons of incredible films with great ease.

Unfortunalty nine times out of ten I find myself wasting away my time with stupid slapstick movies (Little Nicky) and tween comedies (iCarly). Today I found my self watching an hour and half worth of Inspector Gadget. Time well spent? I liked it so I guess was worth it.
