Exam over - hooray! It went OK, I think, but I won't know for about a month, so that's at least a month off study.

Had a lovely post-exam drink, then went to see I'm Not There at the phoenix with exactlyhalf, emily_shore and parrot_knight. I do plan to write a review of sorts of what was probably the best 'biography' film I've seen (as well as being a good film in it's own right), but right now I've just read that one of the six Dylans - and one of the 2 Australian Dylans in the film - Heath Ledger, has died of what sounds like an accidental or deliberate overdose. He was 28.

It rather gives poignancy to the entire idea of life lived in the spotlight, observed and commented upon.

I got back here, checked my friends-list, and what seemed to be the last five posts were all about Heath Ledger. Quite an evening.

And I would very much like to see your review, by the way. I wrote a somewhat-review but I am really not qualified to pass judgment.

I don't know that I am either! But a scribbled some notes (!!!) before going to bed, so I might amuse myself by writing it tonight...

Shocked, too, by news of the death of Heath Ledger. I'd wondered why he wasn't doing more: I'd seen him in A Knight's Tale and knew of but didn't see Brokeback Mountain. As you say, it puts the film in perspective.

Good about the exam - and shocking news about Heath Ledger.

I'm pleased the exam is over, and I look forward to hearing just how stunningly well you've passed. And I know what you mean about Heath Ledger.

Well done for getting that over with! Sorry I didn't come to the GA; was getting nowhere with a problem sheet that was due in today... darned work.
