Video Licks: When Everything Goes South Just Blame It on Mercury

Smell the incense, rub the pretty crystals, and get the astrology book out because Mercury is in retrograde this month, kids. What’s does that even mean?! According to the astrology sages, the planet closest to the Sun, who’s orbit is shorter than Earth’s, will speed by Earth, causing “turbulence and disruption” in the lives of Earth folk as the grey planet has a bit of rest, astrologically speaking. Yikes! Since Mercury rules supreme when it comes to all types of communication, this means things like signing contracts, buying a house, making travel plans, etc. could be affected and not in a good way. But what if you use the state of the heavens as an excuse for all your actions this month. Well, then you’ll probably be like the protagonists in this funny video, written and directed by Jane Johnsen & Wrenn Woods. Enjoy When Mercury Is In Retrograde! Be practical, kids! (WARNING: Some adult predicaments)

This video stars Johnsen & Woods, and features Dana Moon, Sean Stewart, Justin Ogden, Julie Folette, Alex Monaco, Varut Chee, Autumn Bruewer, and Rachelle Bowen. More crew info HERE.
