Thanks, Blockbuster!

So typhoid Mary (aka my hubby) has been running a fever on and off for the last day and half. He dragged his poor ailing self into work last night to help close, and then we went to Blockbuster to rent a movie. It's been a while since we've been. When we have cable, we don't watch many videos, but with having taken the cable box back last week, we have a sick dude in the house, a bunch of chick flicks, and only a book for Captain Extravert to fill the time between sweats. So straight from work we went to the Blockbuster we occasionally used, and found it absolutely freakin' empty. Nothing left but wire racks and an unlit Blockbuster sign. So then down to Blockbuster #2 where he could only find one movie, but I found...the discount pre-viewed tables. By the time we left I spent $40 for
Walk the Line
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (an Angie recommendation)
A Very Long Engagement
Star Wars Trilogy (with unwanted additions from George Lucas. Jerk)
Spanglish
Girl with a Pearl Earring
and a rental - The Great Raid,
and candy.

We are now ready to face the day with 3 chick flicks, and 3 movies suitable for both, and a war flick. Sweet.

The discount table is always full of tempting goodies. Beware! The Blockbuster folks have apparently researched the exact price for a movie that makes it seem silly to rent it again when you can buy it for only a teeny weeny bit more money. It's diabolical.
