Essence of the Joker

I'm currently watching a thing on the Special Features disc of the Batman: Gotham Knight DVD that came out a couple weeks back in anticipation of The Dark Knight (which I saw at 12:01 Thursday night/Friday morning). The feature is interviews with the storyline writers for the Batman comics, and they're talking about the functions of all the primary Batman villains and how they work. This is what they had to say about the Joker (keep in mind this is said easily before these guys could have seen the movie):

"When the Joker is written well, he should be terrifying and then he should make you laugh at inappropriate times...and then you should hate yourself for doing it."

That being said, The Dark Knight is thus perfect.

Dammit....

"I'm going to update this as often as possible..."

Yeah, right.

How's everyone doing? I hope you're all splendid. I'm doing well, myself. Just got out of the Saturday edition of the Berklee Music Production Workshop program. After doing my daily duty, I sat through two of the classes, and that was really interesting.

The past 24 hours for me have mostly been me working with the new Apple MobileMe deal-i-o, which keeps all my calendar, contacts, and mail lined up throughout my computer, iPhone, and web server. Basically, what this means is that if someone calls me for a gig at 8:45am, I can put it into my iPhone, and it syncs with my web calendar and laptop calendar within 15 minutes maximum. As I'm trying to use iCal more and more to organize myself as I draw closer to graduation and moving out of Boston to wherever I end up, this is going to be tremendously useful.

More to come soon, including an album review of a girl whose CD I got a hold of, but I'll leave you with this for now...sometimes I want to pretend that JCM just doesn't groove at all, but then I see this:
