When I let brillig know that I'd take tonight's diary, I thought I'd...you know...think of a topic to write about. Kind of an important part of writing a diary. But, alas, I haven't. I guess I'm still in vacation mode, having spent an entire week with the BF eating and watching movies. My brain is still a bit...er...mushy. That tends to happen when the only thing you have to think critically about for a week is whether Magic Mike was a good movie for reasons other than nude Channing Tatum (it was...I think...oh wait, sorry, still thinking about Channing Tatum). I guess I'm still feeling a tad lazy.
So follow me below the doodle-thingy, and we'll think of something.

I won't lie, as I've been sitting here wondering what I could write about, I've been YouTube surfing. It's what I do when I should be working on something. I guess I think I'll find some inspiration in cute kitty videos and song parodies and footage of men eating monstrous amounts of food wrapped in bacon. Seems a likely source for a cure for writer's block, right?
Well, it wasn't. But what I'm left with are some cool videos.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be interviewed by your 12-year-old self? No you haven't, you say? Of course you have. Who hasn't? I'm sure I'd tell 12-year-old Chrislove that, no, I haven't grown out of that gay thing yet. Well, filmmaker Jeremiah McDonald made a video, which has since gone viral, in which he has a very awkward conversation with a young Jeremiah. It's really quite good, and clever of him to think of the idea at age 12, before YouTube and viral videos and Nyan Nyan Cat. Watch:
I can't get enough of the next video. I must be sheltered, because I'd never seen or even heard of Billy Eichner and his man-on-the-street series until I saw this video on a blog somewhere. In this segment for Conan O'Brien, Eichner interviews people on the street about Iran and nuclear weapons...and Madonna. It starts off a little slow but picks up toward the end.
The next, and final, video needs no introduction. Submitted without comment:
Okay...well we survived that. Now on to what you've been waiting for. Unless you're still watching the Kitty Cat Dance. In which case, stop it before you ruin your life. Stop it!

Thanks to tonight's Top Comments contributors! Let us hear from YOU
when you find that proficient comment.
annieli nominated this entire thread started by Jeff Y, in which he yearns for the Communion that Cuba enjoys. It's a winner of a thread. Give it a look-see.
ozsea1 sent in this comment by PrahaPartizan, in which an international business professor's words of wisdom are imparted.
LaughingPlanet nominated this excellent comment by eOz, which should really be its own diary.
From Angie in WA State:
For entering into this year's competition for "Best DKos Pun of 2012" with this creme-de-la-creme bit by Alumbrados in response to Crashing Vor's diary Request: The Next Time Someone Says "Jobs Creators"...:
Job Cremators is the term you're looking for.
From your humble YouTube addict diarist:
It's technically from yesterday, but this comment by JesseCW from weatherdude's diary about the Church of Scientology's latest attempt to suppress criticism is just too good not to be a top comment.
