Vampire Romance is undead
If you have been living under a rock beneath the sea, then you won't know what I'm talking about. For all the other 'day walkers', you'll know exactly what I mean. Vampires are an incredibly popular subject to write about, especially of late.But this is no new craze, it seems the movement comes and goes and has done so since Bram Stoker's classic Dracula was first published in 1897. Since then, vampires have become more romantic, rather attractive and emotional creatures, fighting their bloody cravings to live in harmony with their mortal love-interests.
The 'misunderstood' vampire is just so easy to love! What do you think is behind the current fascination with the undead? I see people being converted daily, going from completely against the trend, to then wearing Edward Cullen t-shirts. I swore I wouldn't, but I must admit that I too have fallen victim to their pale charm. What is it about this fanged and forbidden love that is flying off bookshelves all over the world? Why are people so enamoured by the blood-thirsty princes and princesses of darkness?

Comments (34)Battle of the Blockbuster Exes
In the aftermath of the Academy Awards, it seems that once again, we have an Oscar 'first' in the headlines. The first time a female Director has won the Best Director nod. Fantastic! But this is not just any female. Kathryn Bigelow just so happens to be James Cameron's ex-wife. Not only did Cameron create the biggest movie ever made, he was also sitting right behind her as a painfully obvious contender at the event. Did you predict the outcome? Which movie were you backing? Was it one of the two clear runners, or did you have your sights set on a different flick?
Onto more important things, in terms of awkward moments/encounters with the 'ex', have you ever had one of such Titanic proportions? What stories do you have to tell? Have you managed any massive accomplishments for your ex to experience first-hand? Better yet, have you had a victory like this (assuming your ex was your competitor) that might have qualified as being the sweetest revenge? Really, who hasn't secretly wanted the opportunity to rub salt in the wound at least once in their dating life?For those who have, tell us about it!

Comments (5)Is coffee good for the heart?
The American Heart Association's 50th Annual Conference held just last week revealed some music-to-a-coffee-lover's ears. The coffee bean has been 'magical' since it was first exposed (arguably by goats in Ethiopia), but recent studies have shown that coffee may be even better than we caffeine fiends could've ever hoped! An espresso is said to not only lift your mood; but treat headaches and lower your risk of cavities. Coffee has even been claimed to dramatically cut the risk of type 2 diabetes and help with the prevention of irregular heartbeats. Even more astounding, they've said the more you have the better! Before you justify today's sixth coffee run and bid farewell to moderation, have a think. How does coffee make you feel?
Have you tried to go without your daily coffee? How did that work (or not work) for you? A coffee detox I recently endured proved to be a very difficult, headache-heavy period of time, and I was only having one or two cups a day before the sacrifice. Do you think coffee is as beneficial as claimed? Can it really be healthy if I suffered withdrawals without it? Do you know of regular coffee drinkers who suffer any of the above mentioned health problems? Were you a non-coffee drinker who has discovered the health benefit of an espresso? It will be interesting to have our own little study here to test the theory of all these coffee reports.
