Original, brilliant idea...not!

I always have these bright ideas where I think I'm a total GENIUS, only to realize, upon further investigation, that someone else conceived of my idea long beforehand. Take the most recent example: After watching "Julie & Julia" I thought, "Y'know, that movie was cute, but someone should do this with a vegan cookbook!" I decided that I was going to cook and blog about every recipe in my new vegan bible, '1000 Vegan Recipes' by Robin Robertson. When I went to reserve my blog's name, someone already had it. I thought, "That's strange, who else would have 1000veganrecipes.blogspot.com?" When I checked it out, I discovered that six vegans are already cooking through the book with FANTASTIC photos and a website 10x better than the one I could've conceived of. In short, it is a fantastic little blog and I highly recommend it. I'll be sitting here waiting for my next "original" bright idea!
