On Netflix, and on not being the person you wish you were when you created your queue

Almost two years ago I blogged about first setting up my Netflix account. I was so thrilled to have access to movies I couldn't find at any local video store. At 10:15 Sept 17, 2009 my Netflix queue was:

Rudo i Cursi
~~An American Werewolf in London~~
Chandni Chowk to China
O'Horten
The Class
~~Good Dick~~
~~Departures~~
Guest of Cindy Sherman
~~Herb and Dorothy~~
Pray the Devil Back to Hell
Soul Power
Tokyo Sonata
~~The Garden~~
Eden Log
Frontrunners
Shiver
Splinter
a *lot* of Doctor Who

I have struck out the movies I have actually watched in the ensuing two years. You know what I did with the rest of my time?

Law and Order: SVU.

The trashiest of all Law and Orders.
