I got a letter from the AC Nielsen company asking me to apply to be a "Nielsen Family." At first, I got happy at the thought that I might help America by sitting on my butt watching TV. Turns out, they invited me to apply to be a Nielsen shopping family!

I am so looking forward to screwing up the demographic profile of a single, middle-aged black woman.

Well, not so much that I'd go out and buy something that says, "Hello, Kitty."
