RECENT NETFLIX WATCHES

Recently I have had a LOT of spare time that I wasn't sure how to fill. So I decided that I would look around on Netflix to see if there was anything that tickled my fancy.

I started out with Heroes, I think I am still at around episode 19 in season one. I didn't mind it, at the start it was interesting but it got a bit too samey for me and so I started looking around again. 

I then came across The Office (US) and couldn't stop watching it! It was dangerous that Netflix had almost all of the nine series because the first and only thing I wanted to do (and did do) when I got home from work was watch another episode - and I would continue to watch up until I was tired enough to go to sleep!

- I have seen all episodes in the eight series twice! - 

Netflix then recommended for me Life Unexpected. Which again, I fell in love with and couldn't stop watching. It has really made me appreciate the people that I do have in my life!

So after TV shows that I never actually watched on TV I had a quick look through the (awful) movie selection that Netflix has to offer and came across Black Fish. I had heard about this maybe about a year ago but couldn't find any channel in the UK that showed it so Black Fish was the first movie of the night. I don’t really agree with the whole concept of teaching sea animals (and all animals in general) tricks. so seeing that there was a documentary out there with some many credible people in it was really impressive to me and I would recommend it to anyone who likes documentaries. 

The second movie was Lovelace. I’m a sucker for any Amanda Seyfried film so I chose to watch it. Learning that the film was based on true events was quite distressing but it was interesting to see the early days of such a taboo industry.

And lastly was Afternoon Delight. Again I watched this because of the actress’ in the film who are Juno Temple and Kathryn Hahn. I didn't really know, even after the film had ended, what it really was about. Im not really sure why anyone would take a sex worker in to their house thinking that they are going to change their ways purely because of the person who took them in.

Overall I wasted around six hours on three films I will never have to watch again.

Have you watched anything on Netflix that you would recommend?

HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY - 25/09/2014

So today was a pretty average day - wake up late, rush around the house getting ready, 9-4 work blah blah blah. But today I tried making garlic bread. 

Garlic bread is one of, if not my favorite food, of all time EVER, And being able to make it is something that I really want to be able to do. I've made garlic butter in the past so that was of not stress to me but making bread dough is not something that I have ever tried to do before. Annoying there is a lot of waiting around and arm aching in the dough-making-process! They are two things I do not enjoy very much.

I think it helped that because I was making a different form of garlic bread - it was more of a personal-sized pizza base with garlic butter on the top -  because I always get the baguettes so I didn't really know if it tasted/looked right. However it has been just about enough time between eating it and now and the food-poisoning-sickness hasn't peaked its unwanted head, so I think I am safe!

Another thing I did today is actually use my Netflix account...I've been on there a few times over the past months and haven't had the time to watch any movies (normally because I look on it just before getting in to - or whilst im in - bed) but today I finally watched something. Hooray! I started out watching 'Fred: The Movie' but got about 30 minutes in to it and couldn't justify watching anymore of it so looked around and stumbled upon 'Not Another Teen Movie'. It was definitely another teen movie as it seemed to quote almost every single one every made but I still found myself laughing and cringing throughout. 

Let me know if there is anything you are liking/loving on Netflix right now, and if you have ever made your favorite store-bought food - how did it go? :)
