Because of my homeboundness (which is supposed to end tomorrow), I started a free trial of blockbuster online of 3 out a time. Yes, a ripoff of Netflix. But it made me think how can I optimize my movies each month?

I came across a guide. But seriously how can you watch three dvds in one day and ship it to the post office? Even if the mail center is one mailing day away, a new dvd will take two days from the previously sent dvd to arrive. Plus my mailbox is a 2 minute walk from my house. Sorry, but I am lazy and only go out there when it\’s not hot and unbearable.

After some calculation and much wasted time, I figured out a realistic plan (if Blockbuster Online is as accurate as Netflix). Watch at least one movie per day. Mail it out the following day. The dvd will not arrive at the The goal is to have a movie every day of the week.

Monday: Receive 3 dvds. Watch 1.
Tuesday: Send 1. Watch 1.
Wednesday: BBO receives 1 and ships 1. Send 1. Watch 1.
Thursday: BBO receives 1 and ships 1. Receive 1. Send 1. Watch 1.
Friday: BBO receives 1 and ships 1. Receive 1. Send 1. Watch 1.
Saturday: BBO is closed. Receive 1. Send 1. Watch 1.

This cycle assumes that you watch one dvd and send it out the next day. With this cycle, one can receive approximately 6 dvds per week still amounting to 24. I got a lot of watching to do then!

  1. How is \’it\’ possible? Me not wanting to go to Cedar Point. I was playing Ultimate Frisbee and one of my TEAMMATES tackled and I seriously think I had a bruised rib. The Mean Streak rollercoaster would seriously mess me up considering that that ride messes up healthy people.
