I want to look at the Transformers toys.&#8221; I reluctantly went with him and we ended up spending about an hour in there. (!!!) I was tempted by all the Harry Potter lego sets, the R2-D2 figurines, the Strawberry Shortcake dolls, the Gameboy games, the Trumpet-playing Cookie Monster (which I really wanted &#8212; I have to add to my collection!)&#8230; err, pretty much everything. That store is so EVIL. Rob somehow managed to get out of there without buying anything for himself but I left with 2 Care Bears. I got Grumpy Bear for myself and Share Bear for my cousin &#8212; I&#8217;m planning on giving it to her when she leaves for school in a few weeks. So I guess that justifies my purchase then &#8212; I bought a *gift.* Heh.<\/p>\n<p>Rob and I finally got on board with the whole <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netflix.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix<\/a> phenomenon (only after the closest Blockbuster Video to our apartment closed down) and we love it! I definitely recommend it &#8212; especially for people like us who always forget to return rentals on time and rack up insane late charges. So far, we&#8217;ve watched <i>About A Boy<\/i> (adorable movie!) and <i>Wet Hot American Summer<\/i> (funny stuff &#8212; Paul Rudd, Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce and Bradley Cooper are all great). Very very exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Oh! I have a question &#8212; does anyone know how to disable direct linking?
