About three weeks ago, my mom went to the library with me and my little sister to get our items. I got a few thriller and crime novels and a CD, my sister got a few books for herself, and my mom got a book and one DVD-China. The title, though broad, really tells about the film, regarding Chinese wars and sword conflicts. Though we only saw portions of it during the few weeks as we were passing by and gazing at the action in the movie, or doing something in our routine and hearing it in the background, having our eyes attracted to it. I liked the movie, though I feel bad that I didn't see it from start to finish in one sitting, and instead, just wasting my time doing things not as productive as watching such a nice film. I can imagine myself before watching the film, anticipating all of the action that will come on our little humble television set, chanting, yelling, sword-wielding, people laying blood-the excitement... we could have cherished for being able to experience it as we had the time to. Well... it was due a week after we first got it, and I went online at the central library's website, entered in the library card number, and renewed the DVD along with a list of other books and CDs. A second week passed by, portions of the movie were in my mind, renewed it, and I was happy with another week of seeing more portions of the movie. I loved it. Third week came by quickly, and I attempted to renew it-it wouldn't let me. There was a limit for how long you could renew a DVD at the library, unfortunately, and that shocked me. It was late, and the library would have been closed, so we had to wait another day, having to accumulate a little bit of change in a pile which would be used for the fine. That disappeared. We forgot again, two days overdue, and my mom didn't have the presence of an overdue DVD in her brain cells. The third day after the DVD's overdue date, and she remembered when I notified her about it. We bolted to our BMW, and drove fast-paced to the library before our overdue fine would have gotten any higher. My mom then took the DVD and threw it violently into the slot-thank fuck!-it was over with. We just got done of that task, thankfully. We didn't go inside the library to pay the fine, we just simply placed it in the slot, awaiting a fine in a few weeks via mail.

Oh yes... about that fine? My mom is Chinese-American. I wonder if the people at the library take that into consideration and not fine her at all... why? Because she is Chinese, and she rented a DVD about ancient China. Hopefully... they do. We don't want to deal with 2 to 9 dollars to be out of the pockets.

Just hope.

Why do you people feel accomplished identifying who I am? I'm not stupid, I know that you all know who I am, just read the damn story.

Oh, wretched ephemeral race ... why do you compel me to tell you what it would be most expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach: not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is—to die soon.

Wade is not gay, read his profile! It's sad that you would use sexual orientation as a joke, shows that you have no real sense of humor.

Uhh why didn't you just [size=]copy[/size] the dvd?

It takes about 20 minutes, a blank disc and a dvd burner
