Semester's End and other Neat Stuff
Apr. 17th, 2009 09:30 amI've been incommunicado because I've been scrambling to keep up with all the crap being piled on me at school. Although I've handled most of it pretty well, I'm glad that it's almost over, even though I have another webcam speech to prepare and I have to do a Power Point presentation. I don't like doing in-person stuff. Just let me write about it all and remain happily quiet; however, I'm afraid that more speeches and presentations are in my educational future, so I'm going to force myself to get used to them via the fantastic medium of ..... webcam. Goddess help me. Woe unto the masses who find themselves starring at my scary face and listening to me babble! Surely it's another sign of the Alpaca Lips.
Last night, I took a wild hair and wrote this dude.. or group of dudes and dudettes.. or whoever/whatever they are. He/She/They wrote me back. Imagine that. The Joker Blogs troupe seem very open to responding to folks who reach out to them. So, if you take my wild hair, go ahead and do it and see what happens. I dare you. I double-dog dare you. Hell, I triple-dog dare ya, wise guys! In all seriousness, I'm deeply impressed by the actor who plays the Joker in these vignettes. He deserves some sort of recognition for keeping the character, as envisioned by Heath Ledger, alive and well and doing one hell of a job it. If you haven't, go watch the Joker Blogs in succession. If it doesn't tickle your funny bone, then you'll know you've been abducted by the Greys, who removed it under cover of the night.

This is gonna be fun.
Apr. 17th, 2009 10:33 pmI've been home for an hour and have been writing for about 30 minutes. This is what I have so far. For anyone interested, the two songs referenced in the intro to this new tale are "Rock Steady" by Aretha Franklin (a MUST-HAVE for any-damned-body) and an Acid Jazz song by the name of "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" by Digable Planets. This song has one of the best basslines evar because they're using a real upright on this song. This is a personal MUST-HAVE, but I strongly suggest it to the masses who haven't yet been blessed with the sound of Digable Planets. The line from the song in question is: "The rebirth of slick like my gangsta stroll, the lyrics just like loot come in stacks and rolls." So, now that you have the musical history to the beginning of this story, here's what I have so far. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed writing "Everyone who was anyone, even though most everyone was a no one, knew that when the Joker emerged from Arkham, it was truly and indeed the 'Rebirth of Slick,' because that’s how J rolled."
( Rock Steady, Mister J, rock steady! )
