It occurred to me recently that I wasn't doing very well on my DVD watching. Austin reminded me, however, that we had been watching up a storm on Netflix Instant Watching. So I just took it upon myself to find out the DVD equivalent of what we've been watching and add it to the total. Yes, it's fudging a bit, but basically the underlying goal is get what we are paying for, so it counts!
We're on the second season of Dexter which is brilliant and addictive and provocative. I just found out that the third season is not available instantly, so we will definitely be back on track with physical DVDs once we are there. We've watched 7 DVDs so far on this one.
Another that we've been watching whenever Dexter isn't on is Avatar: The Last Airbender. The movie is coming out on Thursday (!) so we started watching from the beginning to make sure we remembered the whole story and had seen what we needed to see. We're hoping the movie is just Book 1 (it's a planned trilogy, so it's likely) since that's all we'll get through before the movie. 3 DVDs here.
And finally, Austin has his own queue, so those movies count too! He took it upon himself to watch Paul Blart Mall Cop on the XBox, and that actually brings us right up to 18 DVDs/movies/shows/whatevers total which is right on track for 3/mth. Now that there is no regular TV on, I have a feeling we'll be more motivated to use our actual DVDs - we've got The Wire and Big Love lined up as well as loads of movies.
