Some things for a Wednesday

List!

• Isn't this sort of tacky? Not just the "WIN A THREESOME!" gaudiness, but the typeface, the layout, the use of "dude(ette)" and the use of a pair of lips as an O. It'd still be kind of boss to win, mind. [ScarlettJohansson.com]
• As you know, R. Kelly fascinates me. So, I sincerely enjoyed and heartily recommend Josh Levin's full, ninety-minute commentary, of K's recent trial. [Slate]
• If you haven't already, have a look at some of the crap in Roland Emmerich's house. (And no, I don't mean the 10,000BC screenplay. Zing!) [NYT]
• See how good you are with film posters. Me? I got 28. [Empire]
• If there's a better news headline that this, I haven't heard it. [Guardian]
• Are you Tom's friend yet? Why not? Do it now! Get him to 5000. [Myspace]
• It's almost here! [Premier League]

You know that saying "Words fail me"? When something is just so stupid/brazen/incredible that nothing additional really needs to be said? Here's an example: when I was in school, my friend Tom took a class not unlike your American "Shop" class, and his work was so bad that the teacher's only grade was the comment "Words fail me." When Tom eventually passed the class with a respectable B, he photocopied the teacher's comments and put them up around the school.

There's a couple of those "words fail me" instances in the R. Kelly trial, which is currently underway in Chicago.

Firstly, from the jury selection:

When the judge asked one prospective juror about his feelings regarding Kelly, he cryptically answered: "R. Kelly may have led the Taliban in attacking us on 9-11, but you can't prove it."

Next, and this one takes the prize for word-failage, "Midget" referred to in court, as Kelly trial takes a turn towards "Trapped in the Closet" plot. That is the title of the article.

I'm going to sleep. The world is broken.

You can do it, Pimp Lucius

I haven't updated in a while, but thankfully, that's not because I died. Instead, I moved back up to Gainesville, settled into a new room in the same house, began 2nd year of law school and all the reading that entails, had a friend over from London and showed him all the sights (including all-you-can-eat wings night), I've been monitoring my Fantasy League team, and perhaps most importantly of all, I've been trying to understand what this mysterious "Package" could be.

More posts soon.

And all I can say is 'oh'

Some excellent news for all of us who trail off sentences by repeating the last words slightly quieter... quieter... quieter.

R Kelly Finally Takes Us Back 2 The Closet.

Can't wait to see what 21st century hi-jinx Myrna and Odell get up to.
