Well, it’s almost New Years. January 1st, 2009. Can you believe this decade is almost over? I swear it went twice as fast as the ’90s. And I still haven’t accomplished everything I meant to. Time’s speeding up every year, and unlike Benjamin Button, I’m not getting any younger. Last year, I didn’t even bother with resolutions 
- like most people, I figured there was very little chance of ever fulfilling any of them. Or even, necessarily, remembering what they were or where I wrote them by December 31st. The beginning of a new year might be an arbitrary point in time to get my life back on track, but it’s still as good as any.
This year, I’m going to do something a little different for my New Year’s Resolutions. I’m going to tack them to the fridge and actually do them. And if I start to slip and forget why they’re so important, maybe these movies can help me out.

Game of the Week: Had referee Ed Hochuli not made a terrible call in Week 2, this would be no Game of the Week and the San Diego Chargers (7-8) would have already been crowned the winner of the AFC West over the Denver Broncos (8-7).
The Chargers were predicted as one of the most probable teams to win the Super Bowl during the offseason and are now on the verge of being shutout of the NFL playoffs. With a win over Denver this week at home, San Diego can clinch the pathetic AFC West division with a mediocre 8-8 record.

Some people just like to watch T.V. It’s a fun past time, something to have on in the background, a distraction - any show can be on, it doesn’t matter. Then, on the other side of the spectrum, you have T.V. connoisseurs. And among that elite group, there are the few, the proud - the T.V. bloggers.
For you, the T.V. blogger, T.V. is so much more than just a hobby or a distraction. You live and breathe your favorite shows. You would pawn all your earthly possessions - except your computer, of course - to meet Joss Whedon or Rob Thomas or J.J. Abrams. You appreciate the art of cramming a graceful, fascinating storyline into twenty-three or forty-four minutes once per week. T.V. is your life, and you love to write about it.

Stephanie Myers’ Twilight series is nothing less than a cultural phenomenon. No question there. Vampires a la Myers have become a symbol for adolescence and the first frightful pangs of love; the beauty of vampires 
is that they can stand for anything you want them to. Pick and choose the parts of the lore that suit you: superhuman strength, avoidance of sunlight, feeding off of human blood - not to mention the whole immortality thing. They can stand for anything we fear and desire. The first recorded usage of the word “vampire,” in fact, is in a metaphorical context. From their very origins, these mythical creatures have stood in for things we can only explain by analogy.
Those of you who’ve been drawn in by the Cullen family’s spell might want to consider expanding your horizons. Watch some of these movies and shows to find out what vampires have meant to other people - and how vampires have changed and stayed the same in each incarnation. It can’t hurt! Unless, of course, you get bitten…
