After getting back from another week long trip, Branson MO with mom, I have a ton of comments, forums and emails to answer. Stuff I never seem to get all the way caught up on. Not to forget all the crap going on in the rest of the world. Yes there is more than my lil world. Things like…. The break through on the male birth control pill, the end of the first fiscal quarter of ‘08, IU gets a new head b-ball coach, little kids from Waycross Georgia plotting to kill their teacher, McDonalds adds mochas and Lattes to their menu. So what do I do when I get home? Logon to UrbanDead to check on my Zombie and barg harmanz brahnz (Eat Human Brains). Then I sat in front of the TV for a BSG marathon. My life rocks! 10 hours a day of non-stop BSG for 5 days and Zombie fun. Yeah, I’m a geek!

Actor Heath Ledger was found dead yesterday afternoon of a possible drug overdose in his SoHo apartment. Fellow Aussie Mel Gibson said, “I had such great hope for him. He was just taking off, and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss.”

He was discovered by his housekeeper around 3pm and pronounced dead at 3:30pm. Ledger was found naked face down at the foot of his bed. There is speculation that he overdosed on sleeping pills that where found in the room with him. An autopsy is scheduled for today.

Ledger was co-staring in the soon to be released Dark Night, the sequel to Batman Begins. Ledger was reprising the famous role of The joker, played by Jack Nicholson in the original Batman. The world has been a buzz for news of the film. Speculation running wild as to who and how the role would be revived. Images of Ledger portraying The Joker have been seen everywhere. Dark Night maybe the most anticipated movie of the year, possibly even the decade!

Ledger was perhaps best known for his 2005 portrayal of Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, about two cowboys who had a secret romantic relationship. The role earned him an Oscar nomination. This role also brought him to the attention of the GLBT Community. This wasn’t his first gay role. At 17 he played a gay cyclist on Sweat, a down-under TV series about elite athletes. He said he wanted that role because there were so few gays on television, he figured he could get some attention if he did the role justice.He was reportedly in negotiations to reprise his Brokeback Mountain role in a sequel, where Ennis Del Mar comes “out” to his family, friends and neighbors. That would have been a very
interesting movie.
