As an investor in Netflix albeit a very minor one and one currently on vacation having taken a tax loss due to some investor class action law suit I was very reluctant to cancel my subscription. But at $29 per month for 5 out at a time vs. Hollywood video's 3 out at a time down the street it was a no brainer. I tried to cancel but Netflix threatened me with the fact that I needed to return all the movies I had including the ones that I didn't yet get that were mailing today within seven days of cancelling and that cancellation was effective immediately. If I didn't get them back in time they would somehow charge my credit card for them. That didn't sound good. So that scared me away from cancelling and I switched to the crappy $11.00 per month program that is basically worthless other than giving me time to return the movies in the mail. But next month I ramp-up the Hollywood subscription then will cut the cord on NetFlix.

So I walk into Chris' office and I see on his Google news that Blockbuster is trying to take over Hollywood video. Now I am just a very small pawn in this game but I think it is a good thing in the long term for me to have a Blockbuster around the corner.

What would be even better news for me would be a parking space. I got an inbound inquiry from the poster that I posted four months ago from the woman with the parking space on Alton Place right down the street from me that is available on January 1st. The space has decended upon me in my time of hunger like mannah for the starving jews of the exodus. I told her I'd take it at $130 a month.
