I know deep in my heart that if Blockbuster was still around, I’d be a less anxious person today. We were a community in there!! My older sister worked at a Blockbuster through college and they were gone by the time I was getting a part time job as a student, so I’m eternally jealous.

I don’t know how to explain it. We will look back at this time and wonder how one could pay $20 bucks a months to watch 3 movies in DOLBY OR IMAX every single week.

In 2024 I'm cancelling as many streaming services as I can and turning to the video store instead. I'm a member at Videotheque and Vidiots in LA.
1. I find my watching to be way more intentional renting a DVD or Blu-Ray. I have to return it so I have to watch it and this is what I picked.
2. The browsing is much more pleasurable in person than the dang scroll! You can pick up a bunch of stuff and put it back when you figure out what you want.
3. If I pay late fees I feel like I am making a charitable donation.
4. Video store clerks are so cool!

I love doing this, it’s wonderfully disorienting. Theres still so much day left afterwards it’s basically a whole new day, like an optical illusion, but of time.

I’ve done this every time I’ve found myself between full time jobs and it really makes the whole time better. You have a little money coming in and you can collect material for your future memoir. Some odd jobs from my past:
Axe throwing coach
Closet designer
Lunch catering delivery
Balloon bouquet maker
Background extra
i found them on big job boards like indeed and also Craigslist (Searching “part time” gets you less garbage results). If you hate it after you start you can just quit!
Also if you like pets, signing up for dog walking or petsitting will keep you active and you get to hang out with pets.
