The Men's Health magazine left on the desk next to me at the Mt. Pleasant library bears the following headline in big, bold letters:
CARS!
BEER!
BREASTS!
AND NINE OTHER THINGS WORTH LIVING AND DYING FOR.
Thanks, Men's Health, for explaining to me what is important in life. I'm so glad that a magazine devoted to men's health feels the need to discuss breasts.

My students are funny
I'm worried that this student is a little too into Twilight.
"I think that Edward and Bella are the perfect couple even though they are different. Some vampires can train themselves to not eat humans and yes there will always be those vampires who can't but in our culture there will be some bad people. Overall I think it is good that vampires are becoming more interactive with humans because it will create a cycle for future generations and they will eventually adjust to their diet."
SO, everyone should be aware--vampires move among us AND they may not always be on a diet...

One of the 31.1 million who watched his memorial service
Ah, yes. Student papers, the font of blog posts.
Just when I thought that everyone my age and younger considered the King of Pop a strange and troubled man with occasional moments of musical genius, I came across this paper...
"I have been and always will be a Michael Jackson fanatic; his music is the cure to any bad day. There have been days when I devote a solid eight hours to watching Michael Jackson music videos, documentaries, and listening to his music. I will admit that I was "the crazy fan" when he passed away last year, I cried throughout his memorial service and mourned his death for a few days. In addition I am proud to say that I own every CD and DVD he ever released, I saw "This Is It" the day it was released in theaters and bought it the day it came out in stores. I also have his posters hanging up in my room...needless to say I am a bit obsessed. "
So, do we admire this 18-year old fan who was two when the first charges of child sexual abuse were made against him? A fan who embraced him well past the good years of the Jackson 5 and Thriller? A fan who bypassed the traditional boy bands in order to devote herself to Mr. Neverland himself? For me, the jury is still out until I find out if she can moonwalk.
