My clock radio went off today at 6:20am to REM's "It's the End of the World as We Know it." There was a fire alarm in my office building at 7:30am.
And then I read that Glenn Shadix, who played horrible interior designer Otho in
Beetlejuice and the Mayor of Halloweentown in
The Nightmare Before Christmas,
passed away after a fall.
This was the worst part of my day. Not only are those two of my favorite movies, (
Beetlejuice is a sick-day favorite of mine) but I always liked picking Glenn Shadix out in other parts, such as his stint on the otherwise unwatchable
Carnivale.
So, who's up for a senance?
RIP. Glenn Shadix.
