Your odd bit of news for the day.

James Glasscock has been named VP/VOD for the Playboy Entertainment Group.

I'm 12. Titter.

[EDIT] Oh, and:

R. Kelly says he has 22 chapters completed of 'Trapped in the Closet'. Oh God YES.

In the spirit of this, sometime tonight I'll upload the sample of K Fed's new song that prettykate lovingly distributed about the office yesterday.

And now, an odd little story.

My train to work passes through a run-down urban area called Elizabeth. By the tracks, there are a lot of abandoned factories and parking lots.

This morning, I had a window seat and nothing to do to entertain myself, so I just watched the familiar buildings speed by. Abandoned factory, broken windows, vacant lot with a giant face-down stuffed animal--

Wait.

In back of a small set of buildings was a giant purple Muppet looking fellow, with a tuft of pink hair. I always have a lot of love for all my toys, so whenever I see one forgotten in a store or on the side of the road, I feel a little pang of sadness for it, and for whoever must have lost it. But man, this thing was HUGE. You'd notice if you didn't have it anymore. Like, actual person sized.

What if it's a person? Maybe they were in the suit for a kids' show or a birthday party or something, and then they were a victim of brutal rape and dumped on the side of the road.* What if there's a dead person inside a Muppet costume? Or maybe Elizabeth is home to a violent furry gang war, and he's just another sad victim, fueling the flames of vengeance. I suppose if one were going to conduct a violent furry gang war in costume, you'd have the suit lined to be bulletproof, and then your homies have to pull off the costume face to see you got a bullet in your head.

What? This is the way my mind works.

*Oh, like you've never seen Vulgar.

Friday Five

1. What are you most self-conscious about?
My skin. I've had acne since I was 7 dammit, don't I get a friggin' break?

2. What's your favourite word?
Awesome!

3. What's your biggest fear?
Parents' deaths.

4. What's the weirdest thing ever to happen to you at work/school?
Other than finding a dead Muppet on my commute? Being sent out into Manhattan the day before a concert to purchase 250 metal bead neck chains.

5. If you were going to have a revolution, what kind of society would you create?
An iron-fisted one, where I am Grand Poobah and the laws change every day to my whims. Torture would be a constant fear for my people, and death would be most welcome amongst them. Bad popstars would be hanged naked in the capital and left there to rot, to serve as a warning to those who would follow. Our flag would probably be leopard print and there would be glitter everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
