You know how sometimes you have moments where you feel like you must be living in a cave or some remote foreign local? That's what it's been like since yesterday when Heath Ledger died. It's the topic on my f'list and on many of my email lists. I had absolutely no idea he was so popular. I'd heard of him, knew he was an actor, but that was about it. I checked IMDB to see if I'd ever seen any of his movies, but I hadn't. I've come across one other person who hadn't seen him before either. We must be sharing cave space.
It's very sad for his family, and I feel for his fans who are taking his death as such a blow.

It didn't help her feel less old when I told her Brad was the little kid in The Client. It makes me feel kind of old, not just knowing that Brad and Heath were both younger than my little brother, but thinking of how when Brandon Lee died at 28 he was 10 years older than me but here with Heath Ledger dead at 28 I'm 4 years older than him. Time is indeed fleeting. :)
