Okay, I admit it, I love Twilight. I read all four books in five days over Christmas break, if that makes me sound like a teeny-bopper than so be it. However, unlike this 13-year-old boy in Des Moines, I don't actually try and become a vampire.
Apparently, this kid bit 11 people at school because he was trying to act like Edward Cullen. He's 13! I could see it maybe, if the kid was 5 and saw the movie and thought it would be cool, but this kid is 13. The Twilight craze has gone too far. Kids now want to become vampires. Sick.
Oh, and the kid's in jouvie now. Ha!

Kobe Bryant's maid
Kobe Bryant's maid is suing him because his wife, Vanessa, is a crazy person who treats her employees like they're nothing. Surprise! Apparently the maid complained because Vanessa made her stick he hand in a bag of dog feces to get out a price tag that was in the bottom.
First of all, why would Vanessa Bryant really need to return something that badly? She's Vanessa Bryant! In case you missed it, her husband plays basketball for a measly $21,262,500. The girl can by 300 of those shirts with just pocket change.
The best part of it all, is that the maid is only suing for $20,000. Kobe Bryant can make that much money in less than an hour. I also saw The Soup last night was making fun of the situation. I'm sure YouTube has clips of it.

Stupid Person
So, in general, I thought it was a fairly widely known fact that when a woman is pregnant or nursing it is a bad idea to do meth. I don't know about you, but I think meth is something babies should probably not ingest. It's kind of like bleach, or paint thinner, keep it away from the kid.
William Lee Bieber apparently thought that his wife was not doing a good enough job of keeping house now that she had a 3-month-old child. Therefore, he decided to put meth in her water, to "give her energy to clean the house." Wow.
First of all, it was his child he was endangering, because his wife was nursing, when he decided to give her meth. What an idiot. I love fark.com because it helps me find some of the dumbest people in America. Go fark!

Obama Apologizes
Incase you live under a rock and didn't hear, Obama made a little comment on the Jay Leno Show that some people didn't like.
He compared his bowling skills to the Special Olympics ... opps. Well, I think Pres. Obama has had a little bit of a rocky start, but I'm not losing faith in him. Everyone puts their foot in their mouth at one point or another. He immediately apologized and did damage control.
I am also trying to keep in mind the fact that George W. Bush left behind a huge mess for him to clean up. It is going to take some time to clean that up. It seems like for a while, people thought Barack Obama was like a God send or something, which he's not. I voted for him, I support him, and I like him, but even he makes mistakes.
People set outrageous expectations for him because so many people thought that anything would be better than Bush. Give it some time, I have faith he'll clean up the mess. And as far as the Special Olympics joke goes, we've all said stupid stuff we didn't mean, he just said it on national television. Give him a break.
Octo-mom
So, the father of the octuplets as well as octo-mom's 6 other kids isn't a complete idiot. Okay, so he isn't around and he doesn't help her, that's a jerk move. But he did know that she shouldn't have had 8 more if she couldn't take care of the first 6. The father of all 14 of her kids was apparently shocked when he found out that her doctor had allowed her to have 8 more kids in addition to 6 she already had.
Pink elephant, oh my!
Once again, Fark.com has brought me some fascinating news. A baby elephant in Botswana was recently spotted by a photographer and it's pink! Thats right, the cliche of pink elephants is real.
Supposedly, it is a rare phenomenon among African elephants. The baby elephant, now about 2 or 3 months, is an albino, giving it a pinkish color skin and different hue of eyes. However, it is kind of sad because scientists say that because the elephant doesn't have the same thick dark skin as the others, it is at risk for severe sunburning.
They think the only way it will be able to protect itself is to roll around in thick mud or stay in shade. Hopefully this lovely little pink elephant will be okay. Check out the link for pictures, they're pretty dang cute.

Glowing mice
Glowing mice, wow! The other night I was watching the Discovery Channel and saw something amazing. Scientists have recently been working with mice by adding a jelly fish gene to baby mice and when they put them under a black light they glow in the dark.
Because these mice are then florescent, they can see how their molecules interact. That is something that you cannot see in living humans, because obviously you can't make humans glow. The studies are being used for cancer research by testing drugs on the mice and see how it interacts with the body.
Some people may think it's inhumane, but I think it's just plain cool!
Final Project
I do have ideas for what I want my final project to be like, but as far as actually starting work, it hasn't taken action. I plan to do my project on how to knit a scarf, and I sort of have images in my mind of what I want the pictures to look like.
I think it's really just a matter of me sitting down and putting all of my ideas together in the presentation. I feel like I have a good idea of what I need to get done and how I'm going to do it. So, I'm not too worried about not making my deadline. I will probably start work on it this weekend.

Presentation
For my final presentation I decided I am an expert at how to knit a scarf. For my presentation I planned on finding some images of hands that are doing a step by step how to do a knit stitch. I also thought I could bring in a scarf that I am currently knitting just to show how easy it is once you get started.
It sounds like something a grandma would do, but they make great presents and you can make some really cool stuff. I thought I could take some pictures of things that I have knitted in the past and use all the time.
