I thoroughly enjoy this video.

Here comes the bride!

Here's Amber's Plain White T's video:

The blood-lusting vampire movie finally made its way to the big screen.

"Twilight" is a sensational movie that many teens fell in love with. According to Bitten and Bound, a Hollywood news Web site, it made $70.6 million its first weekend in theaters.

It details the truths and lies of a mythical vampire's life.

"Twilight" also shows the ups and downs of vampire life. They might not be able to cry, but they have the same emotions as humans. Edward, a 98-year-old vampire stuck in a 17-year-old body, wants Bella, a lonely junior in high school, to live life to the fullest, feeling sad when she wants the opposite.

When I first walked into the theater and sat down, I thought it would be like any other vampire movie. Fangs, blood-thirsty creatures looking for mouth-watering humans. I was wrong. It was more.

The way the vampire family, the Cullens, care about each other is touching. They were there to help Bella, and even when she put them in danger, they still cared for her. After watching the movie the first time, I had to go and see it again!

The love, trust, and uncovered secrets had me on the edge of my seat. The way the characters interact and act around each other was amazing. The vampires fit right in with the humans, even though in their heads, they don't. It is hard for them, even to the point where I can say I don't know how hard.

I was never a vampire fan, always thinking they were cheesy, but the Cullen family changed my mind. There were no fangs or coffins, just undeniable love.

So, as some of you know, Susquehannock is performing the challenging musical Les Miserables this spring (known affectionately as "Les Mis" by many). A lot of us have had our reservations about putting on a stellar performance...until we found this on Youtube.

Suddenly, anything Susky performs feels like a Broadway show.

I saw "Yes Man" in theatres yesterday, and I was just a tad doubtful that after such a long break from the funny side of the movie spectrum, Jokester Jim might not be so hilarious. But, fortunately, he proved me wrong; the movie kept my interest and kept me laughing from its Sandstorm start to its fashionable finish. (You'll see what I mean). If you are in need of a good laugh and an uplifting plot, this is the movie to see.

I finally saw "The Dark Knight." But I was sorely disappointed. My expectations were obviously much too high, for the movie was certainly not my cup of tea. I'm just curious why America was so quick to slurp it up.

The Joker symbolized a twisted mind, a very sorrowful one. His maniacal grin still sends chills up my spine. And a child's hero was beaten down, forever sneered upon by an imaginary society.

I would much rather watch silver screen greats such as Cary Grant and Joan Crawford as they appeal to the intellectual, not the violent. But everyone's different, I suppose.

C-SPAN is sponsoring a documentary contest for students in grades six through 12.

The contest challenges students to produce a five- to eight-minute long documentary on the topic, "A message to the new president: What is the most urgent issue for the new president to address after taking office, and why?"

I don't watch The O.C.. I don't think I'd like The O.C.. But I sure do love the YouTube videos spoofing their "Dear Sister" episode. For some reason, I find this one especially funny. Maybe because it's Disney.

I'm not a flag-toting, anthem-singing, Army-joining patriot.

So when I feel truly proud to be an American, it's news.

A few months ago, I took part in an international music festival called "Vivace!" at the Pennsylvania Academy of Music in Lancaster.

The first evening I was there, the American Wind Symphony Orchestra (AWSO), emphasis on American, was playing in the academy's concert hall.

As I listened to AWSO perform its repertoire, I realized the orchestra depicted America beautifully and accurately.

There were wacky characters (the 81-year-old director wore a loud paisley sports jacket), international flavors (the young professional musicians hailed from all over the world - Venezuela, England and Japan, among others) and a backdrop of remarkable music that set up an amazing concert.

The professional acoustics of the academy's concert hall didn't hurt either. When a Japanese piece called for an Odaiko drum - a monstrous drum that symbolizes Japanese warlords - it pounded, echoing in my chest. When a flute's solo reached its lofty high notes, I felt it tingling in my toes.

Hearing AWSO made me want to capture every moment on a movie reel so I could replay it in my mind whenever I wanted. When the orchestra played a medley of tunes from "The Sound of Music," the experience was so breathtaking it was almost sad, knowing I would never be able to hear anything quite as beautiful again.

But how did that make me proud to be an American? I guess I realized that being capable of being that happy when listening to a representation of a country, even if it was just for an hour or two, was a feat worth appreciating.

A guest instructor at the festival later told me that certain types of music are like water or wind in color and mood.

In retrospect, I believe he was right. When AWSO mixed the fluid elements of sparkling, rushing water and whispering, meandering wind, the result was magic.

My friend and I were going to enter a competition in lieu of doing reaction papers for our AP Gov class. But due technicalities and the need to make our project awesome, we couldn't enter the competition...but it still earned us perfects on all of the recently due reaction papers!

It is still a GREAT video and it deserves to be seen.

SO HERE IT IS..."No Child Left Behind vs. The Arts".

In keeping with the current subject. The funniest video ever.

This video is great to watch when you think your computer is absolutely against you. This guy's got it even worse. A man draws a stick figure on his document and then has to battle it!

I don't know who made this video, but it's still hilarious.

(Turn up your volume)

I looooove them. There's tons of different movies on this person's profile--just type in "5 Second Movies" on YouTube. Go watch them. ALL.

I think this animation is awesome! There are many more, all of which are equally cool.
If you like this, try watching Pipe Dream . It's my other favorite.

Video by Bright Eyes...aka Conor Oberst

From Flight of the Conchords. Check the show out. On HBO. Muy comico.

This is a video of comedian Demetri Martin and his interpretation of the song 'Selfish Jean' by Travis. I thought it was a pretty clever idea!

...Is a wonderful musical. I made fun of it non-stop at first, but then it grew on me. Its about a celebration of life, to put it simply. A conservative person would be easily offended by the lifestyles of some of the characters, so keep your mouth shut and if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say...well, you know the drill.

Here is one of my school projects, which I am mucho satisfied with the final product. We had to observe an area 7 times and take pictures and write up an essay. Being as green as I am, I immediately thought about how the place was being littered and ruined.

In the end of the project, we had to make an iMovie, that went along with out thesis for the essay, using the picture that we took. It was very fun to do, and, once again, I am very satisfied with my final product.

(yes...Silent Spring is about pesticide pollution, but the beginning parable is universal in my opinion)

After reading Tale of Two Cities, our wonderful English teacher Mrs. Kelley showed us The Scarlet Pimpernel. It deals with the time period. Well, Cassie and I were laughing hysterically at Sir Percy's ostentatious voice and mannerisms. This is a YouTube clip of the movie, with two versions of his poem juxtaposed together. Yes. Either you will think it is funny-or go "Huh?" I laughed...but then again I'm weird. Anyway...enjoy.
