Low Expectations

I am learning that if I have low expectations of something, then I usually end up enjoying it more than I thought I would.  (That kind of follows, though, right?)

For instance, our most recent Netflix video:  "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."

I wasn't sure that I would like it.  I can't even remember how it ended up in our Netflix queue.  But Lew and I watched it this evening, and we both thought it was pretty good -- much better than we were expecting it to be.

I'm not sure that having low expectations is the way to live, but I think it works when it comes to movies.
