Back to the blog(?)

...probably not.

Well, another actor died recently: Heath Ledger. Everyone seems surprised. I guess good looking, rich people aren't supposed to die doing drugs. That's just for the ugly and poor. I was flipping thru the channels last nite, and no fewer than nine were carrying some sort of Heath Ledger story, whether it was about how his work on a film made him tired, and he was so into the character he wasn't sleeping and had to take multiple Ambiens. How there was evidence of prior drug use ("I told him to watch it," so said Jack Nicholson--or something to that effect). Profiles on his family. His work.

Blah, blah, blah. The man was no hero. Just a good-looking guy who had some talent in the acting game and was "blessed" with some good roles.

I'm tired of hearing about this stuff. So tired, I may take an Ambien or ten.

Maybe I'll die and people will compare me with Heath Ledger. Nah, they would just say I was a copy cat. Or, more probably, there would be no mention of it at all, except a brief obit, should anyone care enough to send one to the paper.

My battery is running low, so signing off.

Say good night, Gracie. "Good night, Gracie."
