Procrastinate on This! Friday Edition (August 28)

My father and stepmother are in town to meet Betty, so again no time for procrastination on my part, but do feel free to avail yourself of these gems in my absence:

What do you think of this sporty concept Mini? Click on the pic for deets and features.

1. This makes me happy that I just went with “Betty” for my child. [Home of the Urban Chameleon]

2. People try to call me a grinch every time I suggest that I’m not going to let Betty believe in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. But I think this story kind of proves my point. Tooth Fairyin’ is hard work! [The Rest of Yesterday]

3. Now here’s a reimagine I can get behind: Tim Burton and Johnny Depp teaming up for a Dark Shadows three-parter. Nice! [Jezebel via Daily Express]

4. Yes, why can’t they come up with a new angle for HIV/AIDs prevention ads other than fear of multiple partners? [copyranter]

5. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t all that interested in this new ABC drama Flash Forward b/c I didn’t want to commit to another Lost-like saga. But then I heard that Gabrielle Union (one of my favorite actresses) has now been cast to play the fiance of John Cho’s character. Now that’s an interracial storyline I haven’t seen before. I’ll definitely be watching. Trailer and series explanation below.

P.S. — If they kill off the super-cute older interracial couple on Lost this season, that show will be dead to me … after I watch the series finale — hey, I like to be political but after all this time, I gotta found out what happens!
