What to do when the snow falls

Residents of Hickory, it's snowing.  It's ugly.  It's slushy and miserable outside the precious walls that shield you from the elements.  I have a suggestion to pass the time and entertain until the weather breaks... OnDemand.

I don't work for Comcast.   I think they charge WAY too much for their shoddy service that works most of the time.  I do, however, love TV and movies more than most adults my age.  I can also watch a movie over and over and over and over... until my spouse threatens to leave if I watch the same movie/TV show ONE MORE TIME.

Today I ventured out into the world of the unknown.  I decided to watch a movie that I've heard about for years (read: 1980s) and never watched because I didn't "get" the title.  That movie, my dear neighbors, is Mystic Pizza.  My gay-before-he-admitted-it friend from high school used to go on and on about Julia Robers in Mystic Pizza, so much so that I think he had a secret desire to BE Julia Roberts in Mystic Pizza.  As I flicked through hundreds of channels with nothing on them that piqued my interests, I decided to load the OnDemand menu.  I spent about 10 minutes scanning menus until I decided, "Hey, today is going to be the day that I finally watch Mystic Pizza."  You know what?  I liked Mystic Pizza.  I thought it was good.  Not comparable to an Oscar nominated flick, but for a 1980s chick-flick it entertained me.  I don't think I would have watched it if it were July and 85 degrees and sunny outside, but because it's February and cold and dreary and the frizzle is now falling I watched it and liked it.

So, I charge you, find a movie or TV show that you have been meaning to watch and WATCH it!  It's not like you can make snowballs out of frozen rain!
