dirty water

today i am planning to find out just how much i love that dirty water. it's 9am, and krissisan has just called me to tell me she is on her way to boston, and today, is going to be an adventure. we are going to be renting kayaks and going out on the charles river. we are going to be starting off up near harvard square, and our goal is down around the mass ave bridge and the hatch shell. i've never done this before, except at camp, and i am darn excited. i'm also jazzed that i have my new waterproof camera to document the whole thing. i'm hoping and wishing that neither one of us falls in, they say the water isn't as dirty as it used to be, but i would like not to chance it.

last night i saw the dark knight. (no spoilers) the dig talked about past batman villians being silly, and weird, but then described heath ledger as the joker being truly scary... they were completely right. now, i was a little bent out of shape about the fact that i kept seeing so many clowns on screen (i'm a clown fearer, don't judge), but oddly enough, i couldn't take my eyes off the joker. i wanted to see what seriously crazy thing he was going to do next... its hard for me to like a villian, but i LOVED this character. i liked that all of his villianous ways were never calculateable, expected, or of the normal villian standard. if the joker returns in another batman movie, he's going to have some damn big shoes to fill.

We'll be seeing that when Douglas comes home in 3 weeks. Do you buy into the theories that playing the joker started Heath's downward spiral and that he was never able to recover from it causing his death?
