The Library

Since Netflix decided to screw me, I've been looking into other options and discovered that the library has a ton of movies. And they're free to check out for a week! Yes, the new releases have long waitlists, but I'm not usually in a hurry. So I've been going movie crazy this past week (kind of like I did when I first signed up for Netflix). I think I've borrowed 8 movies in the past four days. I love libraries. However, I'm also mad at the library for charging me a late fee when I did indeed bring the book back on time. If "due date" means that if the book is returned on said due date then the book is late, someone should specify that definition. I brought the book to the library during business hours, dropped it off in the drop box inside the library, and then checked out a couple DVDs. It's not my fault they didn't get to it until sometime the next day. I sent them a complaint telling them that the book was returned on time. In retrospect, I may have overreacted to the $0.25 fine, but I didn't deserve it! I was still ticked off about Netflix, Verizon, and the LolCats website (I'm a dork), so maybe that affected my reaction. Anyway...

I watched Seven Pounds today and it was surprisingly good. The Last Airbender (watched yesterday) was surprisingly bad. Seriously, they couldn't find someone to play Aang who could actually act? It's too bad the movie was so poorly acted and created because the story seems interesting. Maybe I'll have to watch the animated series.

Anyone have any cookbook or cooking websites recommendations?

The animated series of The Last Airbender is great! Sometimes they'll have a marathon and have the WHOLE series from start to finish...yes, we watched them all! I have not seen the movie yet.
www.foodnetwork.com is great...all genres of cooking can be found! I LOVE that site!

Ooo, I'll have to watch the animated series then. I think the library has it (since we don't have cable or anything). And I would skip the movie, if I were you.

I also browse through the food network website frequently. I feel like I've read all the recipes on the internet.
