I Must Confess!

I am about to confess something that I am a bit embarrassed to admit. I tend to be a goal follower right? I try to make some goals and stick to them like any good adult. But, I must confess- I am only human. An exceptional human, but human nonetheless. 

I caved last month and bought Netflix. I am not sure if it was the smartest decision. I told myself that if I finished the blog project I would reward myself with Netflix. But there are so many good original programs on Netflix that I was interested in seeing. And it is crazy how much time I used to spend watching my films and blogging about them that I know seem to spend on 90s movies and TV shows that I have missed or great original programming. 

For example- House of Cards. What a show! Of course that inspired me to rewatch The West Wing. I also have always wanted to watch Parks and Rec after a coworker told me how much I remind them of Leslie Knope. Well I am pleased to announce that right between Tina Fey's character Liz Lemon and Leslie Knope lies me. I am a perfect mix of the two. Complete with the hoarding and messy apartment. What is funny is that I felt the need to clean a little bit today before I wrote this post so that would be funny and not totally true :) 


I am still dedicated to the project. It just might be slower going, as if this blog could get any slower! I have not blogged about anything in ages that these few blogs feel foreign. I have missed the feeling of checking the stats in the morning and seeing which post was most popular and what country was reading my recent stuff. I am going to get back into it. I swear. I have really missed this creative outlet. Even though it is summer time and I am spending more time outside I am telling you right now that Netflix or not- I will continue with the project. I am currently working on a marathon of Harry Potter movies post. It is difficult to write about movies and books that I so enjoy. I might skip describing them to you- because I am sure anyone reading my blog is a BIG Harry Potter fan anyway right? But instead I might tell you about how I fell in love with the series. And there is a kid sized pool involved in the story too. Just wait. 



Anywho I just wanted to publicly confess about my new addiction, Netflix and making myself accountable to you as my readers by finishing the project. As a hint, as soon as Harry Potter is finished being reviewed, I will have 48 titles left. that is just a shelf and a half in the cabinet. I will pepper in some other films too. Especially since my friend Nic is determined to introduce me to films I did not enjoy in my childhood that I should have. Stay tuned. Great blogs ahead.
