Last night Doug said, (while looking at the computer)

D: "Do you know who Heath Ledger is?"

Me: "Uh...no. Not really. Is he maybe an actor?"

D: "Yeah. I guess so. He died."

Me: "Really?"

D: "He was 28."

Me: "That's YOUNG! How did he die?"

D: "Dunno. Doesn't say."

So this morning I see an article about him on my iGoogle. I click on it to see if I know who he is but don't recognize the picture nor have I seen any of his recent movies. So I click on a slideshow to see what else he's been in.

That's when I see this picture from "Ten Things I Hate About You" circa 1999:

And now I'm genuinely sad because I LOVE(d) this movie! Did anyone else love this movie?!?

(I'm not asking you, Kristen and Shawn!)

I may or may not even own this movie in VHS form.

I was going to leave you with a funny line from the movie, but when I went to look up some quotes I found that most of them are completely inappropriate. This is as good as it gets:

(Heath Ledger) Patrick: Hey there girly... how you doin'?

(Julia Stiles) Kat Stratford: Sweating like a pig actually and yourself?

Patrick: Now there's a way to get a guy's attention huh?

Kat Stratford: My mission in life but obviously I struck your fancy so you see it worked... the world makes sense again.

You'll be missed Mr. Ledger!
