Kim's Pick-Me-Up Video Playlist. Volume 3. (Procrastination Edition)

In writing my toast to speak at Steph and Wes' wedding this weekend Merli sent me this AMAZING video.  I am officially scrapping my entire speech to recreate the following performance.  It really starts to get good about a minute in...



The best part about my new obsession with the Toast video, is that it chased the next video out of my head.

Russell thinks it is hilarious to get the most ridiculous and catchy thing he can find stuck in my head (I am a serial repeater of stupid things) and I've been singing Muchos Hornos for a month or so...



Goodbye many ovens, hello 4-slice toaster.

Kim's Pick-Me-Up Video Playlist. Volume 2.

Come come... on the kick drum
This clip cracks me up.  I didn't especially love the movie (The Breakup - Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Aniston, what you would expect...) but this is guaranteed to get a giggle out of me, if not full blown laughter.  I would love to be friends with John Michael Higgins...

Gilly!
This link should be called anything Kristen-Wiig, for that matter.  I can't decide whether I like this just because its humorous, or because I smiled like Gilly for many of my elementary school years.  Unfortunate, but funny.

Blazing Saddles...
This selection beat out both the 'shit load of dimes' and also the fart scene among any other worthy choices from this film.  I'm worried what this blog entry says about my sense of humor... don't judge.


Not a video link, but...
This happens to be my favorite (perhaps) Mark Morris piece.  A section of Dogtown set to Yoko Ono's 'No, no, no'.  You won't get it until you see it, but for some reason I can't help but think its genius.  Could it be the Jim Coleman version my college choreography class was treated to?

Kim's Pick-Me-Up Video Playlist. Volume 1.

Here are my favorite internet videos for a mood reversal (even if temporary) when I am feeling gloomy or sad....

Boom King...
This is my go-to.  It appeals to my immature sense of humor, and is just genius.  I am MADLY in love with these guys.  Whoever decided no more Flight of the Conchords sucks majorly.

BEST (not worst) music video ever...
Tim Early's January repertory piece...2007... or maybe 2008?  Just watch.  It needs no words...

Baryshnikov... Tharp... Wild Abandon... What more does one need?
This is dance comfort food... Beautiful out of control looking, yet completely in control, I love love love it.

Note:  These are all wonderful procrastination tactics.  More to follow...
