heath ledger: the funky-cheeked man from down under goes even down-underer

i am willing to temporarily eschew all qualms and grudges against aussies for a post, in order to mourn the passing of heath ledger.

he had one of those accents, yes. but he was very good at masking it in american films - let this be a known virtue to all you aussies. and man, did i enjoy that pokey-cheeked, sad-eyed face of his. i thought his face was going to be the new old, freckled tommy lee jones, twenty years down the road...

the news reports haven't been specific about what exactly he OD'd on, but here are my guesses:

1. awesomeness
2. capsules of liquid man-beauty
3. ColdFX

sigh.

oh, heath ledger. we were with you from furry battle-panties acting to engaging in hot mountain man love. all of it, a treasure. to me. now look at this an have a moment of silence.
