A Unique Approach

I suspect that I am not a conventional movie renter. Here's my approach to renting movies:

Step 1: Start thinking about how it would be great to rent some movies. Then wait until that desire increases 10 times.

Step 2: Go to Hollywood Video (I don't like Blockbuster) and spend a minimum of one hour selecting movies.

Step 3: Come home and watch one of the movies.

Step 4: Remind myself on day two that I have five days to watch the movies, so I can watch the rest at leisure.

Step 5: Remind myself on day four that I need to watch the rest of the movies so I can return them. Decide I'm not in the mood to watch movies.

Step 6: Watch as many of the movies as I have time for on day five.

Step 7: Return the movies to Hollywood Video even though I haven't seen all of them OR keep them for an extra five days (incurring a late fee), hoping that I will be in the mood to watch the movies later.

When it comes to step 7, I usually take the latter approach. This time around, though, I went for the former. I'm delighted to say that I made it through three of the four movies: The Heart of Me, Red, and The Forgotten. Napoleon Dynamite will have to wait until next time.
