Breaking Dawn and Media- Meteor showers?

Breaking Dawn and Media- Meteor showers?

Is that a double Entendre?

What can be a better subject for a Night Owl than Breaking Dawn and meteor showers?

With the final installment of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn 2 opening in movie theaters today, tonight is one of the best nights to view this year's Leonid meteor shower that will happen a few hours before dawn.

Two completely unrelated things come together.

A dozen or so “shooting stars” per hour, the best view is in the wee hours of the morning, as part of the Earth turns (wasn’t that a Soap Opera?) directly into the meteor stream and probably every TV station in turn will be talking about the twilight movie.

I looked up Stephanie Meyer’s novels (in Wikipedia) and what I found most interesting is where she got her inspiration.

“According to Stephanie Meyer’s (and Wikipedia) her books are inspired and loosely based on a literary classic: Twilight on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, New Moon on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Eclipse on Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, and Breaking Dawn on a second Shakespeare play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Meyer also states that Orson Scott Card 

and L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series are a big influence on her writing.”

A Muse can also come from seemingly unrelated places.

As for the Breaking Dawn, it is a time of transition from darkness to light and in a way, a time of judgment and a new opportunity, one is for the past and one looks to the future. 

 And tonight I will be looking up at the night sky so I can make many wishes before the break of dawn.

 What say you Night Owls?

 

“Hamlet: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?

Ophelia: No, my lord.
 Hamlet: I mean, my head upon your lap?
Ophelia: Ay, my lord.
Hamlet: Do you think I meant country matters?
Ophelia: I think nothing, my lord.
Hamlet: That’s a fair thought to lie between maids’ legs.
Ophelia: What is, my lord?
Hamlet: Nothing.”
