Happy Thanksgiving & Happy News

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving holiday!
I usually 'unplug' over the weekend, but I did notice a few tidbits of news that made me smile:
Part 2 of the Harry Potter movie is only 8 months away with a release date of July 15, 2011.
The Superbowl added another reason to watch besides the commercials - The Black Eyed Peas will headline the halftime show on Feb 6. (Okay, I actually like to watch the game, too!)
Tech-savvy can save $ this holiday season as stores offer deals via Facebook and mobile apps.
What made you smile during the holiday break?

The series will follow a teenage lacrosse player who gets bitten and then turns into a werewolf. Things get complicated when he finds out the girl he likes has a werewolf hunting dad. The show premieres next year and will run for 13 episodes.
