ive signed myself up to swim, bike, and run at the crack of dawn in the east bay tomorrow. i think its gonna be all downhill after the swim. or maybe after the drive up.
the only redeeming factor is ive somehow talked rajiv into this jhokes with me.

While I will attempt to not compare him to Nicholson or “The Batman” joker, I just dont know if Ledger has that crazy and creepy side needed to play the joker. I will admit that I havnt seen too many of his movies, but the ones I have seen him in he doesnt play a creepy crazy guy completly off his rocker.

Please tell me this isn’t real. PLEASE!!!

Ledger is wrong for this. He’s always seemed to be a very two-dimensional actor, not at all convincing, and here we have him trying to handle a character as deranged and maniacal as the Joker.
-Karyyk
Horrible news. I don’t want Ledger as the Joker. He’s just so wrong. He doesn’t even have the look and his acting is mediocre, especially when he tries to act like Val Kilmer.

Honestly, there’s more Brokeback Mountain jokes than negative comments.
This is Taylor Townsend. I live on Townsend. Coincidence?I think the people who live IN Townsend might have you one-upped.
in fact, we do live IN townsend. our building is called townsend, and we live on the townsend side, off townsend.
as a side note, im glad to see your hard at work omar. dammit that came out grosser than i meant it.
Batman was the best movie I’ve seen in a while. Even when it felt long and drawn out, it was good… weird but true. I won’t say more ‘til next week — don’t wanna ruin it for anyone.
two thumbs up from me too. however, watching batman before bed = joker nightmares all night. jhokes, and not in a good way.
also i think if i watch 10 things i hate about you now, im just gonna be creeped out the whole time.
Social Distortion - “Ring Of Fire”
Today seems like a good day for a cover song. I absolutely love this version of Johnny Cash’s “Ring Of Fire.” I always associate Social D with summer time. Today is so nice outside that it just seems to fit!
my roomie in college and i use to always through social D at the end of winter quarter, when the weather would first get warm again. man, i miss that album.
skipping the opener = “missing 1/3 of the headliner” too…like when we went and saw Jose Gonzalez….since i’ve been going to smaller shows i’ve gotten in the habit of skipping the opener in general, but last night, for the first time in a while i enjoyed the opener Waz isnt my favorite new band or anything, but they were charming, told good stories, and played pretty music that suited du nord’s darkroomesque lighting. Their songs tend to sound the same whether they are singing about heartache or passing out on the sidewalk waiting for a cab … this ones a u2 cover. also watching this video makes me realize i had major guitar goggles last night.
and thanks to dchu for pointing out how awesome the original u2 video is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=g2BqLlVHlWA (bono looks 12)
IF there had been an opener we would have been golden.
