The Twilight Zone

I spent my birthday and a few days more in Los Angeles with some good friends, all of whom happened to be obsessed with the vampire known as Edward Cullen.

As much as I fought and kicked and screamed and tried to get out of it, Friday night found me at Blockbuster to pick up the just-released DVD.

Racing home, my friends and I got comfy and thus began our journey into the Twilight Zone.

From what I could hear in between the squeals and "This is my favorite scene!" was just enough to pique my interest into where this tale leads.

Not so much that I want to read it, but just quiz whoever will tell me. And watch the following movies, which I trust will be of much higher quality.

The second viewing of "Twilight" on Saturday night had me further thinking, "I could write that," and wondering why I didn't.

I tried reading the book and found it so dull I couldn't finish it. It just wasn't something I could sink my teeth into (pun intended). But seeing that it's a national best seller and everyone I know can't put it down, maybe I don't have my fingers on the pulse of what's quality entertainment.

Instead of telling myself that I suck (ha!), I think I'll take it as a challenge. You're on Stephanie Meyer.
