Happy new year - and vampires

Alright readers? Happy New Year to you. As I've discovered there are now definitely four of you, I'd like to wish you all a fun filled, stella fuelled, year of merriment.

So, I'm over my sulk about Christmas being over for another year - and am starting my New Year's resolution to go to the cinema every week, in order to re-affirm my film-buff status. This week was Twilight. Spurred on by Katy (who told me Cedric Diggory - he will always be Cedric to me - is all grown up and is now very fit), I dragged the boy along to settle down for a couple of hours of vampire fun.

It's a bit slow, and there was eye rolling from the boy at all the romantic teen-angst bits - but generally worth a watch. Cedric (Edward) is indeed fit and it left me thinking that vampires are really quite nice and attractive (apart from all the blood sucking stuff).

For those not into teen fiction, the flick is based on Stephanie Meyer's novels, which detail the romance between Bella (human) and Edward (vampire). Through the four book series Bella and Edward go through all of the normal teenage problems (yep, dealing with werewolves and deciding whether or not Bella should become a vampire too). The books are faintly ridiculous and defintiely not going to win any prizes (watch while they scoop awards now) - but hugely enjoyable and kept me entertained throughout the Christmas period.

See Twilight - read the books - but keep going until book four. It ALL kicks off in that one.....
