*A polka band's rendition of "Hot and Cold" by Katy Perry. Oh my gosh. I don't think my life was complete until I saw this.

*Please follow Nikkimuse on Twitter. She's a very nice girl who goes to Clark with me (plus a kickass model, plus a kickass photographer) who's going to be giving a dollar to ChildFund.Org for every 2000 Twitter followers she gets. Here's a direct link to her Twitter.

*The PS22 chorus sings "The Call" by Regina Spektor. That song alone always gives me chills anyway, but these kids are so amazing. Watch every one of their videos. You won't be disappointed, only floored. At least check out "Just Dance." Seriously, these kids (fifth graders!) are stars.

*Wendy at Glossed Over hits the nail on the head with an article about the fetishization of youth. Our society associates sex appeal with maturity and has no problem using sex to sell everything and anything, but at the same time has a very prudish view of what sexuality should be for young people. Why can't Miley wear thigh-high boots? I believe it's that people want to sexualize her in that little girl way instead of in the "mature" sense (and doesn't that seem a little more sick than the overt sexiness?). There are a lot of weird fine lines hanging around out there.

*When I first played "Twilight Princess" and got the Spinner, the first thing I said to my boyfriend was "oh my God, is there a YTMND of this???" There is.

*Millions from One is a charity to provide clean water to people in need. With the purchase of one of their leather bracelets (for $10), you can provide one person with clean water for 30 years. I do wonder why they chose leather, as tanning leather can contaminate water. Irony?
