Heath Ledger

I just found out that Heath Ledger was found dead. I don't know how often I've watched A Knight's Tale. In fact, we rewatched it last week. He was so young and talented. What an incredible waste. So sad.

He was one of few actors who passed what I call "the chainmail-test" - i.e. he was a good enough actor to pull off wearing medieval costumes, in fact any period costume, without looking silly or anachronistic. *sigh* Such a shame.

Busy busy busy

In case anyone is wondering: Yes, I'm writing. In a fashion. I am working on my E/G fic Broken English. I spent the weekend rereading previous chapters and trying to remember what I had planned for it, hunting for my scattered handwritten notes, etc.. Unfortunately I'm too nitpicky for my own good. I keep tinkering where I shouldn't.
Yesterday, inspiration struck, and today inspiration continued to trickle. Which means I now have a clue. I know what I want, and I am optimistic that I'll somehow get there, but my week is incredibly busy. Last night I babysitted for friends - and discovered that I could not write in their place. Tonight I went to see I Am Legend. Tomorrow is board-gaming night. Also, I offered to work more hours tomorrow, since one of my co-workers has a sick kid at home. I told him I'd try to get some of his stuff done, so he can help his wife... So, while I'm itching to write, I have no clue WHEN to sit down and do it. Also, I really really have to learn how to stop tinkering with stuff I've written and just move on to the next line, the next sentence, the next paragraph. *head desk*

I downloaded the new Chuck episodes, and I watched the first two Sarah Connor Chronicles. Which means it's way too easy to procrastinate. I should go to bed but I keep checking Mininova to see if I can't start the torrent first... Oh well, I won't have time to watch it tomorrow morning anyway. Nite nite. :-)
