Chick’s Movie Night
November 8th, 2008
I have this great idea… no! wait! stop! don’t go! really, it’s a good idea, I swear.
We need to have a chick’s movie night. I have heard raving great things about “Spirit of the Marathon,” a documentary about marathon runners that tracks six athletes of different abilities (beginner thru pro) in their prep and running of a marathon.
I just checked and it is available for rental on iTunes for $3.99 and on Amazon Video On Demand for $2.99. I have used both of those services to watch movies before and it’s really easy and awesome. I especially like amazon because I can purchase a movie and then have it sent to my Tivo instead of my laptop where I can watch it on the big TV. But, I digress.
Here’s what I am thinking. We find a night that we can all escape our families for a movie, or a weekend day, whatever (it’s 1 hour 45 minutes long) and one of you chicks that is techie smart finds a way to set up a live chat room for us, and we can all watch the movie and have a live chat about it.
Doesn’t that sound like fun? And it doesn’t involve any squats or sit ups!
MORE GREAT THINKING: And if you have little kids who will never in a million years leave you alone to watch a movie… you download it, then take your laptop to a Starbucks or the library or wherever with wi fi, put your headphones on to watch and, voila, movie night! Or just lock the door on them, and stuff a towel underneath to muffle their screams… not that I have ever done anything like that, mind you, haha.

While figuring out how to accomplish this is rather taxing to my brain, I am in if I can do it. I found the trailer for it on the documentary channel website and it looks awesome. Speaking of the documentary channel, I am sure that we don’t have it but for those who might, it is on tomorrow night I think.
There should be more people signing onto this by now. Where is bigprof and Eryn, and the BIG question: WHERE IS PERIWINKLE?!?!

I am so down for movie night! I am actually training for a 1/2 marathon right now that I’m running on the 30th…I may try for a full mary after that…but who knows. Anyways, I love documentaries, so I’ll probably watch it whether or not we do movie night. Keep me updated.

Here I am!! I would LOVE to do that… I could do it on itunes (then would I watch it on my ipod?) but I have issues. My original itunes computer is dead. I created a new account on my husband’s work laptop, downloaded all my songs (again) and burned all my CD’s (again) and now.. HE HAS A NEW LAPTOP!! AUGHHH!!! There really should be an easier way… COME ON APPLE!! GET IT TOGETHER!
I would figure it out somehow. The weekends are better for me. I need some motivation and this would probably help me.
