Christmas shopping is way better than homework. I made significant headway last night, and should be done tomorrow night. And I'm feeling a bit more in the spirit - I listened to Christmas songs all the way to and from Rice (where I went this morning to drop off my homework). I forgot how much I love 'Tis a gift to be simple. That has to be one of my all-time favorites.

I made a few observations at Toys 'R Us last night (which was a mob scene, I might add):

1. I possibly like legos better than children do, but I still bought about four different sets for various cousins.

2. There are no Nintendo DS's or Sponge Bob Squarepants Krabby Patty Stations within 150 miles of Clear Lake. And you get looked at like you're crazy if you ask for these things a week before Christmas.

3. Now that people my age are having babies, toys have gone retro so we can relive our childhoods. I marveled at Rainbow Bright, My Little Ponies, and Carebears. I scarily really wanted to buy a Rainbow Bright doll for myself.

4. Makers of teddy bears (including Carebears) and baby dolls need to think a bit more about their target audience. I wanted to get my 18 month old sister one of these things, but you wouldn't believe all of them were labeled as hazerdous to children under Three. A Carebear? Yep, a big label is on all the boxes that says "0-3" with an x-mark through it. I bought her a shiny unicorn doll instead. I told my dad about it this morning, and he said Demetra already has two Carebears, so I guess it probably would've been ok...

Ok, my blog comments are getting spammed (I deleted about 50 comments today). What should I do about it? I've enabled a feature that let's me moderate comments from first-time posters for now.
