heath ledger is dead
Y texted me on the way home saying Heath Ledger had died. The group of us started a texting storm. I jokingly suggested we have a "wake" and watch "10 Things I Hate About You". It's one of my fav movies, Y also loves it and owns it like I do. C has never seen it. Suddenly everyone is like, "Yeah, we totally should do that." *blink* Okay, why not?
I'm not going to do the whole "promising career, blah blah blah" stuff the MSM is already on overdrive about. And they'll do it again when The Dark Knight is released.
He was very talented. I liked him and he was easy on the eyes. Oh well.

Clue-ments:
That is really sad news. I haven't seen all of his films, but I've always liked him in the ones I've seen. I've liked him ever since I saw him in "Roar" years ago. What a shame.

Donna - Very sad. Sometimes these things just hit ya, you know?

The comparisons to James Dean have already begun. On the other hand, a local LJer reports going to the store to get a Heath bar for a gag visual and finding all the stores totally cleaned out of Heath bars. Weird, huh?
Oh, and while I'm here, did you see the news about Alex's dad?
