Cold, windy, crappy surf = Time for REDBOX

The surf has been sub-par these days, and everyone’s been complaining about shriveling up from staying dry for so long.  It’s just a part of the waiting game — the inevitable dry spell.  Fortunately for me, this wretched cold/bronchitis came at a great time and I’m so busy with work that surfing is not so much on my brain anyway.

But for those of you just dying for some activity, there’s not a whole lot I can tell you other than to sit tight and watch a movie or two.  The Movie Museum is playing a good selection of films leading up to the Oscars this Sunday.  (I’m really crossing my fingers that “The Hurt Locker” gets a gold dude), or if you’re in a real pinch and prefer snuggling up on your own couch with some kettle corn, then I would highly suggest renting a movie for just a dollar via REDBOX, located at all Safeways on the island.

I discovered Redbox last year and now I rarely rent movies any other way.  These convenient little DVD jukeboxes don’t require membership and have a more limited selection of movies, but there are still some goodies available.  Last night, I watched “Paranormal Activity” and was pleased with the budget flick.  Other decent movies like Zombieland, Inglorious Basterds, and The Hurt Locker were all available.
