I should've mentioned this a week or two ago, but I don't think it's too late. I'm answering two letters to Santa from kids in Chicago through the Sun-Times. I'd heard about Operation Santa Claus in New York, but I'm too cynical to answer random letters at the post office. I went with the Sun-Times since they vet all of the letters so you know they're a real kid and really needy. Anyway, if you're in the midwest and looking for an excuse to drop up to $25 on toys, you should check out the Sun-Times program. You can still probably get the letters with enough time to ship the toys. If you're not in the midwest, there are obviously a million programs doing the same thing. I'm just psyched I get to shop for a Dora the Explorer doll.
(Daniel actually did some browsing for me and got heckled by a Walmart employee, poor thing, hahaha).

Oh, the horrors. I've become a regular Today show watcher this year, and I've often wondered how stable the anchoring lineup was. Now I see this news, and all I can say is ---Please, please, please NBC, don't let Ann Curry take over. She is the worst interviewer and I won't hesitate to go back to Spongebob Squarepants in the morning if I don't like the new anchor.

Hmm, maybe Katie could take Ann with her?

It's a week before finals, and once again this means more blogging and more websurfing than could possibly be healthy. Anyway, AHSers-- have you seen the AHS wikipedia entry? Who knew our school was so progressive in educating women and integrating races? It's probably a lot of PC-spin, but it still makes you feel a little proud.
