University to offer Master's in vampire literature.

I want to mock this, I do. But as someone who secretly bemoaned her arriving too late to take the Harry Potter course in college, I have to admit that this is just too fucking awesome. I want to major in Anne Ricean lore, with a minor in Bram Stoker.

Though I am mocking the fact that that fucking Kate Goselin is getting yet another reality show on TLC, this one where she "helps" people through hard times. Twist of Kate. Allow me to vomit.

I'm going to finally get to watch the new Dr. Who with Tom tonight. I'm so excited.

Also, bleh more Kristen Stewart coverage than ever thanks to her latest flick. I commend her for trying to break out of the Twilight trap, but damn the girl still looks undead. I wonder if she can at least act in this one.

On one hand, classes on vampire fiction would be cool. But I'm not so sure about an entire Master's, mostly because I don't think Twilight fans should be rewarded for their retardation.

This I agree with. I also think "Twilight" shouldn't be included amid main vampire lore outside of an example of the dumbing down of the mythos and the de-fanging of the vampire. See also my "tortured" vampire continuum beginning with Rice, passing through Buffy and crystallizing in Twilight.

Kate Goselin is the LAST person I'd take advice from. I saw her last night on the cover of US Weekly with Pam Anderson and a headline going "PAM HATES KATE!" All I could think was "Doesn't everyone sane?"
