Idea #17: Watch movies

Just like rediscovering music, unemployment is a time to watch your movie collection. TV is boring sometimes, and you can't afford to rent the new movies or maintain a Netflix account. That's why this is a good time to dig into your own collection.

If you are a child of the 80s and 90s, then you probably have a solid collection of VHS tapes. I have a ton of Disney movies and Muppet movies all on VHS. I also have put together my own collection of DVDs since I started college. When you need something short and reliable, TV shows on DVD are always useful. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've watched my Friends and Sex and the City DVDs. Ever since I was listening to the soundtrack, I've had a strong desire to watch my Sister Act 2 DVD, so that's on the agenda for tonight.

This idea is especially recommended for those unemployed who live in areas without friends. Movies are a great distraction from the social isolation you're living in.

Plus if you agree with my recent ranting about how the movie theater experience is disappointing, you just can't beat the convenience and luxury of watching movies from the comfort of your own couch.

Other hits in my collection:
Love Actually
The Holiday
The Wedding Singer
Legally Blonde (that movie never gets old)

I seem to have quite the girly movie collection.....

Put on your sweats, grab some popcorn that did NOT cost $6 and enjoy!

Song of the Day: "Memories" by David Guetta feat. Kid Cudi

PS. David Guetta seems to be all over the radio right now in a variety of collaborations...and I'm loving all of them.
