It was a welcome respite from your runaway train of posts on evangelicals and homosexuals :) <br /><br />One of the things I miss over here in Hong Kong is my "Netflix". Anyhow, I am into "Downton Abbey" now but your recommendation of "Jekyll" has me intrigued.Steve H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09428882214098606433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-13040215176219349922012-01-14T22:50:47.481-07:002012-01-14T22:50:47.481-07:00I enjoyed Jericho, and my newest guilty pleasure h...I enjoyed Jericho, and my newest guilty pleasure has been Daybreak, and Justified (dvd only). <br /><br />P.S.

Though I would LOVE to say it is all about the parenting :), I suspect that their commercial exposure plays into it rather heavily. I don't think I am exaggerating to say that what they have seen in their whole lives is probably what the average American child sees in a month.<br /><br />Welcome ASAP, thanks for stopping by!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494823779999456396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-62701029496331908052011-12-11T09:28:36.320-07:002011-12-11T09:28:36.320-07:00When we had Internet at our house we loved streami...When we had Internet at our house we loved streaming on Netflix! It's truly awesome! Now we just do the 2 DVD thing in the mail... Still pretty cool. We've been watching Dexter and Fringe. <br /><br />As for the lack of commercials, I think that's the best hidden gem of all! I have often thought about how commercial watching shapes us spiritually. I often try to imagine, for my self or for my students, what sort of spiritual disciplines we could engage in order to counter them... Ironically, I rarely think of abstinence. The more we are treated and targeted as consumers, the more we tend to think of ourselves that way. The more we are told that we need or "deserve" something, the more we gravitate toward that sense of self.wellis68https://www.blogger.com/profile/06087588494600746854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-91347677930200104022011-12-10T23:34:56.467-07:002011-12-10T23:34:56.467-07:00Almost finished watching the entire series of Lost...Almost finished watching the entire series of Lost.
