'Tis the season for food orgies at work. Brownies and cookies and pastries, OH MY. I have a plate on my desk right now full of stuff; it'll probably take me two days to eat it all. What a hardship. *scarfs happily*

( cut for personal stuff )

Anyway, enough of that. I have a question about Yuletide Madness. Can anyone explain to me how I can search the participant spreadsheet in Google Docs? I would really like to search for one or two particular fandoms, but I can't figure out how do so, and I'm really not up to searching every single page of the original 'dear Yuletide writer' post. I'm not that determined. *g* Any suggestions would be awesome.

And re my post from a couple days ago - Probst agrees with me about the outcome of this season's Survivor, and so does Dalton Ross at EW. And then Linda Holmes at NPR offers a thought-provoking essay on why we are all wrong, which I think many on my flist would agree with.

Author: piratepurple
Rating: PG , for language
Summary: Xander is in Africa, alone, at Christmas. Spike comes to make him less lonely.
