Procrastinate on This! 3 Out of 5 Video Edition
So as you may or may not know, I collect things for the big Friday edition of Procrastinate on This! all week, and the format is 4 pieces of interesting news and then one video. Sometimes I have two or even three really good videos competing for that one spot. This week I had like ten, and it was all I could do to narrow it down to 3, so make sure that your speakers are on for this edition.
1. First up, the only non-audio item: How off-the-charts clever is this Facebook Aenid? [Gawker]
2. Oh, Padma Lakshmi, how could you sell out your ethereal beauty like this? Also, do any of us really believe that she eats Hardee’s (or Carl Junior’s if you’re on the West Coast) burgers? [Hardee’s Commercial]
3. I’ve watched this trailer for Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are several times now, and I still can’t decide if it’s “I’m so there” or “hipster precious lame” — weigh-ins welcomed in the comments. [Defamer]
4. Yet another great music introduction from a fellow blogger that I plan to add to my roll this weekend between Breastfeeding class and other Betty-related errands. But I would actually argue that this band, Other Lives is better than Radiohead, because I’m not a) sick to death of them, or b) convinced that they’re way overhyped for what they actually are. [The Rest of Yesterday]
5.You’re a jerk! Thanks to Sallie Patrick for the heads up on my new favorite “black kids dancing when they should be getting some book-learnin’ video.”
I like the WTWTA trailer. I can't wait to see it

Oh, no the video is not playing. Dang, I'm always a day late and a dollar short. Hey thanks so much for the shout out. Its funny because I often get all geeked out about something and nothing, so I'm so happy that you dig them as much as I do.

A little late because I didn't have time to procrastinate on Friday, but I really liked the Where the Wild Things Are trailer…def looking forward to that one. And the Burger commercial, really?! Now the contestant whose food she spit out (can't remember who it was) this season should be really offended.

1. the aenid is brilliant 2. i can't believe padma/her agent/manager agreed to do that commercial!! i just lost the little respect i had for her. 3. i'm SO there for WWTA. can't wait. the book is magical and worth every ounce of the overhype. 4. other lives sounds good… but while i am also way sick of radiohead, part of what makes them admirable is their prolificacy, so it's hard to say any new band is better — at this early point in their game. 5. i'm still so in love with that video.
