For some reason I have a really visceral aversion to vampires in literature and movies. I agree about the picture of Johnny Depp but can't fault their selection, and I doubt Oprah is retiring. More likely, she will be back with a new venture because I can't see her sitting in a rocker embroidering doilies. I didn't know who Jenna Jameson was but she was probably an easier interview than Sarah Palin. Raising tuition at UC is deplorable - it has always been the best state university system in the country, but everything in California has become big business.

How was Disneyland?

My nieces forced me to take then to see New Moon last night. It was entertaining for what it was, but there's no way I would have been into this movie when I was a teen. Bella is stupid and weak! Do these young girls actually admire this character. I mean, this young girl's whole life is wrapped up in this guy!

Thank you for being on my side with this whole Twilight/Vampire ish! I now know that I'm not alone on getting this whole bizarre fan following. And seriously $14 for a movie ticket? OMG, I would NEVAH go to the movies for that...*LOL*...but then I said that when the price went to $10 at NYC theatres a couple of years ago!

Im tempted to see the New Moon movie but might go and see something else instead.

An Oprah will be transitioning over to her new network so she's isn't done with television yet.

I do not get the Pattison obsession either! And that actress who plays Bella, with the lip-biting and askance glancing. SO ANNOYING. One Twilight movie was enough for me.

Yeah, what was up with Oprah being so soft on Palin? I couldn't believe some of the things she let slide in that interview. Let me at her!! I'll ask the tough questions.

Grr. California. We may have to move when my kids are 17 just so they can get residence for an affordable state school.

Okay, some random comments: Agreed, Johnny Depp is seriously gorgeous.

Congrats on the 30K words!

Tuition up by 32%, incredible. Of course tuition should be free. In the UK, it was Labour (yes, Labour) that brought in tuition fees.

Don't know about black unemployment, but the jobless rate among 15-24 year olds in the UK is around 20%. Very bad.

But Jacob is hooottt!:)

Lisa,
Horrible role model for young girls! She's always waiting for some dude to rescue her or else she's suicidal because they're not around. Not a fan.

NPR has had some seriously depressing stories on lately about the economy. I know things were bad even before this recession but now it's really really bad. :(

Claudia,
Gosh, $649 a semester would be heavenly. With room and board a UC will be around $26K next year. That's crazy. Well, Reagan II will be out of office soon enough. Don't know if there's any good candidates to replace him yet.

Ian,
I'll just write Oprah a letter explaining to her how I really want a tricked out Jetta! ;)

I love it here, so beautiful, but wow, times are hard. Cali is testing my faith in her these days.

You hit up Oprah for that car. You deserve it. As for California, don't write it off yet. It always comes back. Anyway, your state is one of my absolute favorite visitor places and I keep coming back.

2009-11-20T14:33:25.285-08:00

I'm not a twilight fan either. I can't understand the whole phenomena - just weird. And wtf is wrong with women that they would want their daughters to be like Bella??

Oh, sigh, UC tuition. It was $649 a semester at Cal when I went. Totally worth is. Reagan instituted tuition - changed the charter, not surprising that Reagan II is raising it!.

Just heard a story on NPR about the jobless rate for Black men (the highest) and how the recession is hitting them the most. And? UC tuition hikes are so frustrating. With two kids I need to send to college, options are thinning...And I am so with you on the Just Say No to New Moon. Those books were lame. And Bella is a terrible role model for young girls!
