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?

Move over Vampire Diaries...Teen Wolf is in town

This week, MTV released pictures and a trailer for their upcoming tv series Teen Wolf. This is a remake of the 1985 movie starring Michael J. Fox. The tv series though more resembles the style and feel of The Vampire Diaries though, not the original movie, as MTV tries to keep up with supernatural teen trend. 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.
