Procrastinate on This [Friday Edition]
In lieu of an apology for not being around much online or off the last three weeks, I’ll just post this (slightly edited) email that I sent our co-editor, Amy Robinson, this morning:
My inbox is currently FUBAR [...] Last big deadline of the season is on Saturday and then, I’m going to be so stellar … starting Monday.
So, you know, looking forward to actually being a decent editor-in-chief again next week. Til then, here’s a big ol’ batch of procrastination. As you know, no matter how much I’ve got on my plate, I will always, always put your Friday procrastination needs first.

1. Apparently, Americans hate California more than any other state in the Union, including New Jersey! New Jersey!!! In other news, haters be cray-cray. The writer of this post says that it’s not because these folks are jealous, to which I say, yeah, right. Most haters don’t get they’re jealous b-words, which is why they’re haters, and — getting back to my original statement – totally cray-cray. Someone please call me right now, so that I can hear my ringtone, which is “I Love L.A.” #straightrepresentinLA4lifeyo [Gawker]

6. One of my favorite book bloggers (mostly b/c her reading tastes run just as random as mine) reviews THE TINY BOOK OF TINY STORIES by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. According to her it’s beyond adorable, just like its writer. [Reads4Pleasure]
