I broke my record: i

I broke my record: i saw 3 movies in the last 8 days. Amazing. Haven't been that much to the cinema in the last year or so ... seriously.

Minority Report - OUCH! It was such a mistake! Up until last Sunday i thought that Hollywood can only once in a lifetime can make as bad a movie as "Contact" was (i saw it on TV once). Well, they proved me wrong. The story was lame, full of the worst movie cliches, pointless and often downright ridiculous (so many and so obviuos plot mistakes in a movie designed to bring in millions of $$$? how deep can they sink in frugality?).

Crush - it's a fun movie to relax to on a Friday afternoon. That's all. Oh, and Andie MacDowell is still gorgeous.

About a Boy - funny, sweet, and a decent *acting* performance by Hugh Grant for a change. I loved it!
The local listings mag reviewer said that the book is actually funnier than the movie, so i bought it right after i saw the movie, and he was right! This is my first time reading a book after i saw the movie made from it, and it's an interesting experience. I am guessing how i would have pictured the characters had i not seen Hugh & Co first.

I always find lots of

I always find lots of recipes that i want to cook eventually and sve them to my computer. So my computer files are now a mess, and i couldn't bring myself to start to use a recipe software, they just seem too cumbersome. So i decided to start a cooking blog, where i collect them instead. Look here.

I have a horrible cold,

I have a horrible cold, and i accidentally came upon this: Garlic and Herb Pasta, which is supposed to make the cold/flu go away the next day.

I found it at this cool site: John's Vegetarian Recipes and Information, which is a collection of recipes from mailing lists and rec.food archives. Lots of yummy stuff!

I like personal recipe collections like these... there are so many recipes out there it is nice when you have someone's personal thoughts on them. Like i would have never realized garlic and herb pasta is good for colds, even though i know garlic is.

There are so many powerful

There are so many powerful memories from this day a year ago. I chose one of them to tell here to remember the day and those who died.

A few days or even a week after the attacks i was browsing around the web looking at cat photos - i think i was looking for a certain breed's pictures. And then suddenly, i came to a site, that was taken down by the owner and a message was posted with a photo of two adorable kittens who lived in one of the offices of the WTC and perished in the buildings. That was the second time i cried because of September 11th. The tragedy of these small animals is so horrible in itself, but what really hurts is the knowledge we have. The knowledge that those kittens' death is just a tiny portion of the horrible things that happened.

The current IKEA ad running on Hungarian tv channels is soooooo cool and adorable! You can see it here.
