Procrastinate on This! Friday Edition [March 12, 2010]

My SIL and nephews are here visiting, so my iron-like grip on my eating and writing habits will probably have to be relaxed for the next week.

3. Yeah, this is pretty much the most annoying dating advice ever. [Jezebel]

4. No surprise here, way more people are expected mark multiple races on the the census in 2010 than in 2000. I seriously can’t wait to see these results. But has anyone actually gotten their census yet? We still haven’t received ours… [Honeysmoke via USA Today]

5. Today’s challenge. Try to hang on to your bad mood after watching this video. Let me know if you can do it in the comments. Thanks to Gudrun for the finger point!
