Breaking Dawn won't be filmed in 3D?!
I am all astonishment.
Oh well, Jackson Rathbone has his mug 3D'd in Airbender. But bummer for Edward groupies. That paste-y, sparkley, fake-American-accented vampire will sadly remain a 2 dimensional character.

THE LITTLE MERMAID, MY GRAND-STUDENT, AND BABY NAMES
I just got a Christmas card from a former student. She was like the little sister I left back home when I moved to Hawaii to teach. She and I experienced Europe together in 1996 when I took a group of five students on a week-long tour. She was the funnest of the five.
We have fond memories of dancing around Paris doing the can-can, eating hot crepes au chocolat from a street vendor, watching the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, and flirting with assorted continental men (for me) and Irish boys (for her) at the top of the Eiffel tower.
Now she's a wife and mom. She has two sons and is expecting a baby in February, and, she tells me in her Christmas card, it's a girl!
"What the heck does this have to do with Twilight?" you ask.
To answer that, I have to tell you this: Do you remember when The Little Mermaid cartoon hit theatres? Within a few years, the girl name "Ariel" became popular among newborn mermaids, where only a few years before it had languished in obscurity.
If you have no children, may I ask if you've named any houseplants Ariel...?
Anyway, back to my student who's pregnant and what it has to do with Twilight.
She's naming her daughter Bella.

TWINKLE TWINKLE
It occurred to me that vampires don't need to wear eye shadow, due to the sparkly nature of their skin in the sunlight.
I have therefore surmised that I am not a vampire.
But I could be wrong.

SNIPS AND SNAILS REVISITED
It's only fair to my son to list the ways he is not like Edward, in case that girl from zoology class is reading this. Yes he memorized your phone number, and yes, he will call you again.
HOW TO BE A TRUE TEENAGE IDAHOAN
1. Laugh at and consider beating child beaters.
2. Cut your own hair. Have Mom trim around the ears.
3. Laugh when you fart.
4. Fart.
5. Speak like Puff Daddy because you are black by choice. Tell all your teachers that you are.
6. Feed your rabbit Dove chocolate and Twinkies. Eat the leftovers.
7. Talk about killing people, especially child beaters.
8. Open doors at restaurants for your family and little old ladies.
9. Stare into the tv while playing Halo and eating generic chicken soup straight from the can.
10. Be polite when asking Mom if she will drive you to the movie theater.
11. Be respectful of your brother's mental instability and make fun of him only when you're really mad at him.
12. Remind everyone close to you why you were admitted, twice, to psychiatric hospitals (homicidal ideations).
13. Pay very very very close attention to Star Wars.
14. Be very interested in it.
15. Don't let anything distract you except bugs and your sister's low-rider house cat.
16. Wear button-up shirts, khakis, and size 13 running shoes.
17. Wear a black fleece jacket so that your doting, motherly teachers will help you remove the cat hair with masking tape wound around their hands.
18. Grab the butcher knife and run outside at 1 a.m. when your Mom tells you she heard a noise.
19. Have a bunion.
20. Know how to fire a Glock 18 and do it with style.
