Not gonna try to be witty on this post. Heath Ledger was found dead today in his downtown NYC apartment. Sleeping pills were found nearby. He was 28 years old.
Sun Comes Up, It’s Tuesday Morning
As a movie fan, it’s one of my most anticipated days of the year. Oscar nominees will be announced at 8:30 today – check back soon and see who got the nod and who got the snub! Edit – They’re In…and there are surprises…more as fast as I can type… Best PictureATONEMENTJUNOMICHAEL CLAYTONNO COUNTRY FOR…

That’s me right now when it comes to the year-end…
