Twilight

I can't believe it, but I watched Twilight today and I loved it! I haven't read any of the books, and I've wondered why everyone was obsessed with it, but I never planned on watching the movie or reading the books. I'm not a huge movie fan anyway, so I figured I would probably never see it. But one of my roommates went out and rented it, and I got to see what all the fuss was about.

I thought the subject of vampires was stupid because I don't really like the fantasy or science fiction genre that much. But, after you get used to the idea, you sort of forget that vampires aren't real. I'm so surprised that I liked the movie. I liked it so much that I really want to go out and read all the books now too, because everyone knows that the book is nearly always better than the movie! Plus, I got to thinking about it, and I should read it anyways because my students might be interested in it. I need to keep up on what's popular in books so that I can relate to what they are reading.

...maybe I should give Harry Potter a shot next!
