(Hey, look, I'm blogging!)
As if there weren't enough issues in long-term relationships, this is the most recent. Article in today's NYTimes: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/fashion/29netflix.html?ref=fashion
Here's a quote:
“I had ‘English Patient’ for more than six months,” Mr. Marino confessed. “It was an insane amount of time.” He recalled starting the same discussion with his wife, night after night, as they flipped among the five DVDs from their Netflix subscription. “Do you want to watch this? Do you want to watch this? Do you want to watch ‘English Patient?’ ”
“No,” was the response he got.
Soon, Mr. Marino could not even get the full title out of his mouth before it was shot out of the sky like the English Patient himself.
“It was like, ‘Eng — —’ ”
“No.”
“It just sat. My wife thought it would be too depressing. I’m like, ‘When are you going to be in the mood to watch it?’ She’s like, ‘I don’t know.’ ”
Eventually, it was returned unwatched."
Oh, well, maybe you have to be there.
