Maybe I am easily satisfied, but I have to say it brightens my mornings to find the various email blasts I subscribe to sitting in my InBox each day. Sure there are the usual ones, like the NYTimes headlines and the various film industry trades, like Variety and HollywoodRptr, but the other services of a much indiosyncractic nature are a real pick me up. You might want consider giving permission to a few of these folks to clog your box too.

Thank you James Blagden and No Mas TV!
I Love Procrastination
Procrastination is surfing the internet — and finding things you love. Procrastination is putting things you like on your blog about the things you like.
A couple of weeks ago, I was reminded of this video from a friend’s Facebook posting. I wrote about this video awhile back; the video successfully went viral (14.5M views!) and I love how social media keeps the good things coming back.
Wow. I love when I get to see great new stuff. Double thanks to booooooom.com whom do an awesome job curating and led me to this. Wow. Watch on full screen.
