Not only have I spent the week watching [Brideshead Revisited](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005JLG2/plannedobsole-20) (but on VHS; you remember VHS tapes, don’t you? I’d nearly forgotten that you have to *rewind* them, a real bother if you ask me), but I also just this week joined [Netflix](http://www.netflix.com) and got my first shipment from them.

My, the things that are about in the world today.
