My red envelope of joy...

I love Netflix.

I really, really do.

I don't watch that many movies, but I still love Netflix.

My brother, who is way cooler than most, introduced me to Netflix back when it first hit the market. No one (okay maybe it was just me) thought it was really going to take off. Mail in your DVDs? Wait for another one? Make a list of all the movies you want to see? Don't get to see the movie cover?

And then, when I went to visit him and he had put a movie in his queue for me, I was all the sudden more interested in this Netflix thing.

So, why the blog love for Netflix you might ask? Well, this week I had a huge accomplishment in the world of red envelopes. I got a movie the day it was released to the public for purchase!

This may not seem like a big deal to some, but it takes a carefully crafted plan to accomplish receiving a DVD the first day it is available (and it also takes awareness of when movies are being released which is not usually something I pay attention to...thus the reason for my success rate...)

All of this to say, I love Netflix.

For those who do not have little red envelopes of joy appearing in their mailbox, you should really consider Netflix. It may be your new favorite thing...
