Headlines

Brangelina's 12 year in the making break-up and Trump's mis-appropriation of campaign funds may have been today's national headlines but the "shocking" headline in my life was that P came home from school with homework. Yes, my not even in kindergarten child has homework. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I admit I wasn't a big fan of school so part of me is thinking why the hell do little kids have homework? But then the other part of me, the one who travelled to Japan when she was in the 11th grade, who witnessed first-hand how far behind American children are education...is okay with this homework cuz, gosh darn it, I want my kid to be smart and contribute to society. It's 5 pages of homework and luckily, she was good to sit down immediately and complete 3 pages of it when we got home but how will it be weeks from now? Part of me feels like this is America trying to catch up rather then, fix the problem at hand. Hummmm. What do you think?

What is Twilight?

I have loved movies and worked in movies and I consider myself knowledgable about movies but I have no idea what this whole Twilight craze is all about. Do you? I know it's something to do about vampires and that it's the new Harry Potter but what the heck is it? All of the sudden everywhere I go I hear about Twilight. They are interviewing talent on the radio and I have no idea who these stars are. It's like Hollywood grew a new list of talent over night and didn't tell me. Anyhoo, that movie opened last night to gang buster numbers but yet, I have no idea. I have no idea about the Jonas Brothers either. Am I getting old? I guess so.
