An entry about my day that ended up being mostly about Heath Ledger.

Well, ok. So I decided that I was too cool for school and skipped all my classes today. Not something I plan on repeating anytime soon/at all this semester. However, I just woke up in one of those moods today. Not a bad mood but a really really good one. Not only was my mood great but the day was beautiful. How can I possibly be expected to go to school on a day like today? I got up on schedule but I opted to enjoy my time doing other things.
1. i tidied up the room.
2. enjoyed some oats and granola with silk
3. got all fixed up for no reason at all.
4. walked to bruce for some delicious black bean soup.
5. brushed up on my sedaris.
6. walked around campus in the cold
7. made e*beth's valentine.
8. went to the post office for 90 cent stamps.
9. mailed some stuff.
10. got b0ba.

In other news- i hate news- entertainment news, that is.
Heath Ledger was one of my faves. It really is so tragic that he is gone. I just watched the trailer for The Dark Knight last week and he gave me chills as The Joker. I was starting to get all geared up for the summer release because I couldn't/can't wait to see him in that role. He is going to be amazing. Since he was recently on my mind that makes the news of his death all the more upsetting. All in all he was just a quiet guy, a good actor, and someone that I respected. For all of the above reasons I really wish that people like Nancy O'Dell and Pat O'brien of the Hollywood Access Extra Insider Entertainment Report would just shut the F up and stop dragging his reputation through the mud. It was an accident so stop taking his quotes out of context to fit into some depressing slide show of his photographs set to solemn sounding piano music while you do a voice over and talk about his "demons" and past relationships. Oh yeah, and another thing, stop showing that footage of him being rolled out in a body bag. It's sickening. I have refused to watch any coverage about this because I know a great deal of it is speculation and just flat out lies. It's one thing when certain people in the public eye make a spectacle of themselves but its quite another when others try to lead a quiet existence and parasitic people go out of their way to disrupt it. It makes me sick to think about all of the photographers that are going to stalk Michelle Williams and their little girl. There is such a feeling of lawlessness when it comes to the paparazzi. Leave the poor guy and his family alone. Were Heath here right now this is exactly what he would say/do:



I'll miss ya, man.
