An open letter about cleaning my car and the treasures it holds

Dear... Everyone,

This post is not your conventional Love, Megan open letter... It's a "video blog" open letter. It was fun. I used my iSight, iMovie and photos from iPhoto. I'm a Mac. Without further ado, here it is- My first "video blog" (I promise I'll stop using the quotes):



Oh, Mom? I promise I'm putting all that stuff away. Thanks for watching, guys!

Love, Megan

An open letter to The Daily Beast

Dear The Daily Beast,

I love your website. I find it to be the perfect combination (for me) of serious news and crap. It's entertaining and I really enjoy clicking around the site to learn new things. I love your daily Cheat Sheet and the Buzz Board.

But, this letter isn't about all of the wonderful things about your website. It's about one very specific wonderful thing I discovered tonight. So wonderful, in fact, that I stayed up later than planned to write this blog. You inspired me.

I came home from a Birthday celebration tonight (Happy Birthday @abbyro!) and checked my email. I get a daily mailing from The Daily Beast and it never fails to seduce me in to checking out the website.

Well, this time I found this article on your site: 5 Shameless Celebrity Endorsements. The basic point of the article is to poke fun at celebrities for doing endorsements because the economy sucks... Well, I wasn't entertained by the 5 NEW endorsements... BUT- The bonus one you featured was AMAZING. Not only does it include TWO crazy commercials in one, but the commercials are foreign and feature two of my favorite celebrities. I've already watched it 6 times. So, I'm sharing it here on my blog.

Thank you, The Daily Beast, for making my day.

Love, Megan
