heath ledger
I am in shock right now. I arrived at home a few minutes ago and the first thing that popped up when I started up my laptop is the news story about Heath Ledger being found dead.
What an incredible waste of a beautiful and talented man.
I had ginourmous crush on Heath from the moment I laid eyes on him and then he completely blew me away with his extraordinary presence on screen. And oh man, he sure did remind me of someone in my real life on whom I had a terrible, terrible crush. Sigh.
I cannot believe it is true. It feels altogether too much like the day River Phoenix died. The only difference is that I knew River had a drug issue. I had never heard of Heath Ledger having any of those types of problems.
I feel so sorry for his baby daughter and his family. What a tragic loss. Why does it seem that so many people with these amazing talents have the darkest demons that become their undoing?
And even though Heath didn't say it, I will leave you with my favorite qoute from 10 Things I Hate About You....
I have a dick on my face, don't I?

little pink babies
Last night my nephew was born. I got to be there and watch him come into the world. He's a little slice of pink and perfect. I know it sounds strange since I have two kids, but I have never seen a baby being born before. It was just amazing. I didn't have a clue what to expect. It was much calmer and quicker than I thought it would be.
A little part of me was jealous that I had to have c-sections and will probably never have that experience and then another little part, you know which, was thanking it's lucky stars that it didn't have to do it that way. I know you know what I'm sayin'?
I've put the pictures up on my Flickr site of little bugg nephew.
On a side not, the hospital is gorgeous and brand new. It has a fantastic zen meditation garden out in a center plaza that I wish were my own. There are beautiful fountains and greenery and very simple lines and textures with a concrete stream and small foot bridge. The music was serene and I felt calm in my center for a few brief moments. I wish I had taken my camera out there with me instead of leaving it in the room.
