Looking For Twilight


I was 'out of town' this past weekend...
Husband does that to me now and again.
Maybe its to get me away from Vampires...
I'm not sure.

But anyway.

Our place is located in the "North Woods".
Which basically means its in Northern Wisconsin.
But driving up there (it takes about 4 hours)
I noticed how much it looks like Forks does
in the Twilight movie.
We were smack dab
(Really? smack dab? When did I turn into my grandmother?)
in the middle of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
I kept expecting to see Edward running around
with Bella glued to his back...
Looking really cheesy and lame...

But alas... No.

The North Woods has 9 Indian Tribes
(and they have casinos... woohoo!)
So my chances of seeing a Jacob Black would
have been far greater.
If I ever had the need to look for Jacob...
Which I don't see happening anytime soon.

I decided to go out in search of Twilight...
And I found nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Oh sure... lots of red pickup trucks...
Lots of waving bears carved out of logs...
But no Twilight related anything.
No merchandise, no posters...
No Edward, No Bella.
I wonder if the movie was even shown here...
The local library did have one copy of the book.
One.
And it was there. Right next to "New Moon", "Eclipse"
and "Breaking Dawn"... all available.
I found myself asking anyone I could if they had
heard of Twilight...
And the best line I heard all day?

"Yeah, Twilight. Sure. That's the best time for fishin'"

I give up.

Robert Pattinson?
You will be the end of me.

Bye for now
