I Suck At Movie Packages

Today, I put my recent movie package trial to good use. Yes, I suck at movie packages. Over the weekend, a Verizon FIOS representative called asking if Karen and I would be interested in trying out their movie package. For a good while now, Verizon has been calling quite frequently. Very frequently. With our phone's caller ID, Karen and I were able to see that Verizon was calling our house. Naturally, thinking it was nothing but marketing garbage, we never answered the calls from Verizon.

Well, one crying newborn baby later, I decided to answer the phone when Verizon had called. Sadly yes, the crying of a newborn drove me to answer the phone. Anyway, the representative gave Karen and I a trial membership to one of its movie packages. Unfortunately, they never told us which movie package it was. I had tried to refuse receiving the movie package altogether, but the representative was very insistent in giving it to us. After all, according to the representative, the movie package trial was only for their good customers... which is obviously full of baloney I'm sure.

Naturally, I gave in and just said "sure". For those who know me, "sure" usually means "yes". And so the movie package trial began. For the past few days, I would randomly flip through some of the movie channels available through FIOS (and believe me, there are a lot of channels to flip through). Nothing.

And then yesterday, I noticed that one of the movie channels came in! (It was Starz.) For anyone curious, or anyone who lives in a whole and only watched public access television, Starz is a channel that shows recent movies... and I love movies. It's like a Netflix of sorts. And movies, after all, shaped and warped my little impressionable mind when I was growing up.

Of course, no good movies were on Starz yesterday. So I waited and waited... and today I finally saw a movie of interest... not for me... more for my BFF (Kerry). And so, I decided to DVR the movie for my BFF. That movie: Julie & Julia. At one point in time, I believe Kerry wanted to watch the movie. And what kind of BFF would I be if I didn't record the movie for her?

Anyway, hopefully Kerry can come over soon to watch the movie. Of course, we also have a bunch of episodes of Veronica Mars to watch too. So it may take a while.
