Two Posts in One Day??

Yup, after half a month, of being post-free, I'm blogging twice in one day. I was just trolling sites and this just looked like too much fun to skip. I got this from Tiny Little Librarian's Blog over at blogcity. Despite the similarities between us, Tiny Little Librarian is not a pseudonym for me. Admittedly, though, I started reading her blog because I am also a tiny little librarian. Anyway, on to the post!

Fight Club is the same as the Brad Pitt movie. We own the movie, but I've never actually watched it.
