Procrastinate on This [Friday Edition]
1. Trying to figure out how I could love this Spanish short, which deals with two gay Stormtroopers forced to hide their relationship, more. But I’ve got nothing. [i09]
2. My first cry of the week came courtesy of this less than 7-minute short, which documents the history of the Gay Rights Movement. I was appalled by the past, moved by how far this country has come, and hopeful for the future. [Jezebel]
How awesome (and super-geeky) is this math watch??? They're giving one away over as FASHIONABLY GEEK, so click on the pic for your chance to win. Contest ends Monday, January 30.
3. I’m trying not to cry about the fact that Steak N’ Shake is expanding into NYC, but has yet to com to Los Angeles. Why, Steak N’ Shake, why??? I love you so! Why can’t you just love me back? Oh, and they’re offering free meals for a year to the first 150 customers, so you should definitely click on the link to find out more if you live in NYC. [The Consumerist]
4. Apparently the Germans are way closer to getting a driverless car on the road than we are if this clever driverless BMW is any indication. I have never wanted early adopt something so bad. [LikeCool]
5. While we’re waiting for driverless cars, here’s a list of “10 Badass Ways to Get Around” that includes a Segway, Magic Unicorns, Dragons, The Batmobile, and my personal favorite, Pneumatic Tubes. [The Mary Sue]
6. The latest from the franchise that brought us vajazzling: “The Carnivale Bikini” and the “The Foxy Bikini” (pictured) — two beauty treatments that makes your houhah look like either a peacock or a pink fox respectively. Nice! And by “nice,” I mean. “WT-holy-F???” [xoJane]
7. I didn’t realize what a ridiculously hardcore Dr. Who fan I was until I totally teared up while watching the below “50 years of Dr. Who in 10 minutes” video (apparently I cried a lot this week). Completely worth your time. What a fascinating history — but it’s a bit weird to realize that we’ve become so ageist, that we’ll probably never ever get a Dr. Who portrayer over the age of 40 again, even though he started out as a grandfatherly type. It makes me want to start a “Michael Caine Should Be the Next Dr. Who” Facebook page.
