X-Files

So Mike and I recently signed up for Netflix so we could start watching the television series, The X-Files. Mike and Greg used to watch it when it was on TV, but I never did. Probably my parents wouldn’t allow me. 
Anyway, since the movie is coming out this summer, and all of our favorite shows are on summer hiatus, I suggested we start watching it and get me caught up. I saw one episode of the series in a college course (“Home”), which was really disturbing, so I wasn’t too excited about the series. But now that we’ve watched the first disc, I’m more excited to get the next one. I don’t think we’ll be able to finish the series before the movie comes out though, lol.

Sorry for the lack of updates xD Enid and I have been busy!
On Saturday we drove with my neice to Los Angeles. Boy did we have a busy day! First we drove to California State University, Northridge to drop my neice off for an orientation/informational meeting at 8:30 AM. Then we drove down to the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica to meet up with a friend for lunch. Then back to Northridge to pick up my neice, then head to my mom’s house to drop her off. Only we got lost on the way back! Luckily Enid was driving shot gun, otherwise I might not have noticed we were going the wrong way until we reached Santa Barbara! 
Finally we reached my mom’s house, and then we got back to my room at my sister’s house and crashed for the night, haha. And since I’m a huge dork I made a map.
A couple of days later Enid and I talked my fiance into taking us to see The Other Boleyn Girl. Enid guarded my purse while we were in the theatre What a trusty octopus! Of course Enid and I really liked the movie, but Mike was less enthusiastic.
Since this week was a slow week for Enid, I’ll do my best to take her on more trips next week! Stay tuned!
Rebecca?!

I just finished reading the novel Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier, which was excellent. I highly recommend it. I also recommend the movie that was based off of the novel, by the same name, directed by the excellent Alfred Hitchcock. However, unless you happen to own it on DVD or VHS, or see it on TV, the chances are that you probably won’t.
Why? Because for some unfathomable reason the studio that owns the rights to this film has decided to let it go out of print, and it has been so for at least a few years now, as far as I can tell. After finishing the novel, I decided I wanted to see the movie again. I went to my local Target and Blockbuster, neither had it. I wasn’t too upset; neither are known for having old movies in stock. I checked online, and I couldn’t find it anywhere. That’s when I discovered that the only places you can buy it are amazon marketplace and ebay (at exorbitant rates). I can’t understand how a film that won Best Picture (1940) and is considered one of the best films of all time could be out of print. I can’t even express how disappointed I am to learn of this…
