Plot:
A fragile, anxious boy, 12-year-old Oskar is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes back. The lonely boy's wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets Eli, also 12, who moves in next door to him with her father. A pale, serious young girl, she only comes out at night and doesn't seem affected by the freezing temperatures. Coinciding with Eli's arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. One man is found tied to a tree, another frozen in the lake, a woman bitten in the neck. Blood seems to be the common denominator and for an introverted boy like Oskar, who is fascinated by gruesome stories, it doesn't take long before he figures out that Eli is a vampire. But by now a subtle romance has blossomed between Oskar and Eli, and she gives him the strength to fight back against his aggressors. Oskar becomes increasingly aware of the tragic, inhuman dimension of Eli's plight, but cannot bring himself to forsake her. Frozen forever in a twelve-year-old's body, with all the burgeoning feelings and confused emotions of a young adolescent, Eli knows that she can only continue to live if she keeps on moving. But when Oskar faces his darkest hour, Eli returns to defend him the only way she can ...

This was by far one of the best horror movies I've seen in a while. I just found out today that a US version is coming out. It's different from most vampire flicks out there and it's not for everyone's taste, but the original was truly a masterpiece in my opinion!

The Real World
Ten years after its first visit to the Big Easy, MTV's groundbreaking reality show The Real World is heading back to New Orleans for its 24th season (yes, 24th!).Living in a gorgeous Southern-style uptown home (1633 Dufossat Street - the house is 9,860 square feet and include 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms and pool), the roommates' journey won't be all parades and fun: a Mississippi party girl is haunted by abuse from a past boyfriend, a hockey player is determined to stay sober after an addiction to painkillers and a bitter rivalry between two roommates reaches a crisis point and threatens the entire house.
Other members of the diverse group include an ex-basketball star, a
State Department staffer from D.C., a Florida beach beauty and a
Lebanese girl who leaves her tight-knit family for the first time.Also - this is the first Real World house, at least in recent memory if not ever, that did not include a decoration from IKEA.
The cast reportedly engages in nightly out-on-the-town activities,
but we know mischief and mayhem are always staples in this long-running
MTV series. Already, there's that whole
my-housemate-scrubbed-the-toilet-with-my-toothbrush debacle.
But seriously . . . this show is such a letdown. The characters are downright unwatchable outside of Ashlee, Knight, and occasionally MacKenzie. Are Sahar & Eric even on the show anymore? Every time Ryan comes on screen I have to fastforward. And no, they didn't even come remotely close to doing Mardi Gras justice. I was only watching because it was set in New Orleans. Maybe the most annoying/disappointing thing about the show is the
fact that they keep going out on Bourbon Street every single night. Enough! They're not tourists anymore - go where the locals go!!!

2010 Hurricane Season just starting to HEAT up
Forecasters are unanimous in their assessment of the 2010 hurricane season: It is likely to be a dangerously active storm season, on par with 2005, the worst hurricane season on record.
This was an interesting article!
Why are some seasons harsher than others? While El Niño tends to inhibit hurricane formation, La Niña–a cool pattern in the Southern Pacific–does just the opposite. While La Niña is not extant, it could emerge soon.
Did you know . . . Hurricane Alex, in the Gulf of Mexico, June 30, 2010, was the first in 15 years to be both the first named storm and the first hurricane of the season.
Hurricane Facts : The most vulnerable area of the home is the roof.
"It simply isn't true, the most vulnerable part is the garage door." If wind enters through the garage door, a window or any other opening, however, the roof is at risk: The rush of air could blow it off, with your stuff following close behind. Kits are available to protect garage doors.
