I love NPR.
It's pretty much the only radio station I listen to. When I get up in the morning, I turn on my handy shower radio — that my mom got me for Christmas about, oh, what was it, mom? 20 years ago? — and it's always tuned to NPR.
This morning I got in the shower much later than normal since I didn't have to go to work today and while I was trying to shake off the effects of a completely sleepness night (that's a whole other story that includes me extricating our dear little Frida from under the covers a million and one times last night), I laughed out loud at David Sedaris' tales of being a mall elf.
Go here and listen to him recount his tales of temper tantrums and reinventing the myth of what Santa really does to naughty children.
The bit that sent me directly to my computer so I could have a second listen was his rendition of "Away in a manger" as sang by Billie Holiday. His inflection and tone as scarily akin to Billie's.
Oh and I am reminded why offices dont have kittens. Look what Frida typed: =-[]]]]]]]]]]]]44444444444444]l]]]]]]'l
That's pretty impressive considering that she climbed up the computer desk from the under side and started attacking my fingers while trying to pen these oh-so-eloquent prose.
