The Hole

It's amazing how Heath Ledger's death has somehow left 30 American art students reeling in Ireland. Today feels like the aftermath of a national tragedy. It's all anyone can talk about. Harris and I found out last night while we were at the pub. Four or so hours later Brian sent me a text about it. Most people found out this morning or after word got around. At least it was accidental and not suicide.

Dude, how can Heath Ledger be dead. It's going to be so weird watching Batman and knowing you're watching someone who was alive yesterday.

There's pictures of him in a black body bag on a stretcher leaving his apartment.

Harris is going to paint a portrait of him. I feel like there's going to be a lot of Heath Ledger inspired work showing up in the near future.

In two completely separate conversations so far, the "Mythology of Heath Ledger" has come up.

Maybe that's why we all felt weird and socially awkward yesterday. We had a spiritual connection with Heath Ledger.

Weird.
