R.I.P

well. heath ledger is dead. it is actually quite scary - he was the same age as a lot of my friends! it's so bizarre how celebrities seem somehow outside of the normal ageing process... like they inhabit some parallel dimension.

 

But yes, he is dead, and of course all the conspiracies will start being theorised shortly. Plus the smart money is that it's going to make the Dark Knight a total blockbuster! I was amazed actually at how many people commented on his death... I hadn't realised he was such a celebrity!

 

In other news, Sir Ed Hillary passed away quite recently too. That's not quite as sad, seeing as he lived til a pretty old age - but it did make me pause and reflect. Probably just on the fact that it's still a loss for us.
