So my spouse and I finally broke down and subscribed to Zip.ca. We made the conscious choice a few years ago to cancel our cable television service, and since moving to NW Ontario we decided to not get a satellite TV service. We did this mostly for savings, but also to stop our keisters from growing too large, and our brains too small. We do like to watch TV and movies on occasion (especially after a long teaching day), so we have in the past used the local library's DVDs for our viewing pleasure. However, we have picked over the selection available, and so needed to find another alternative to buying seasons of TV episodes and movies (except for those DVDs that will be watched over and over again, like The Incredibles or Planet Earth). Because we know that friends of ours enjoy Zip, and because of the cost benefit (versus buying DVDs), we decided to try it out and signed up for a free trial on the weekend. My spouse and I sat side by side at the kitchen table perusing the selection Zip has, and have already picked out an extensive Wishlist. I just received an email telling us that our first DVD is on its way. Woohoo!
The most amusing part about the whole signing up process was that we had to provide a street number for our home, or we would not be able continue on with the order. We don't have street numbers where we live (its just general delivery)! So we had to be creative and make up a street name and provide a house number.
