Diane\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s enthusiasm over her new NetFlix subscription (a gift from Dan and Linda) was dampened by Matthew\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s after nap, snappish answers.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I can rent two movies at a time with no late fees,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Diane said, trying to slow Matt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dinner plate to mouth conveyor belt.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So, \u00e2\u20ac\u009d he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look up.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153As soon as I finish one movie, I drop it in their mailer and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll send
\nme another.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yeah.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve set up a queue of movies, and based on what I rent, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll suggest others. Like Amazon.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Good for you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m getting a movie tomorrow and another on Friday.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
No answer.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you want to know which ones?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Which ones?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Matt complies.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hotel Rwanda and … \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You saw it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153March of the Penguins…what do you mean I saw it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Matt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s answer came so sudden and so firm, and Diane with that night before Christmas look on her face was now waiting for last year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gift.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s it about? \u00e2\u20ac\u009d I asked, hoping Matthew was wrong.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153A hotel in Rwanda. What do you THINK it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Matt volleys back.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s it about?. You know, about, like who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in it and what are they doing in a hotel?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s this black guy who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very well known – and I can see his face – but I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think of his name. He protects Rwandans in this hotel.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Diane jumps back in.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153How old is it? How do you know I saw it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I just do,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Matt answers.<\/p>\n
Disappointed, Diane looks at me. \u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I still can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t remember the movie. But I can picture that guy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s face. I guess that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a bad sign.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
