I’m writing this really late and getting ready for bed, so this will probably be really short. Oh, I actually received some comments on my last post! I was really shocked but happy about that.

Today marks one year since the untimely death of Heath Ledger. It’s just so sad to think of all the great work we’ll never see him do. It is also heartbreaking that his daughter (who looks just like her father) will not get to know him. He was so young, and maybe he had an inner sadness that most people did not know about him.

On to more lighter fare, I’ve been watching Idol these past few episodes and not that impressed. I’ve noticed that they are trying to put more emotionally charged stories into the show. Like the man who lost his wife just a few weeks before the audition was so sad. There was also the touching story about the man who puts his own needs aside to take care of his sick mother. I bet a lot of women will be calling him after this!

Hope everyone is doing well. I’m off to bed, goodnight!

I just wanted to post to say I watched in awe as we here in America watched Barack Obama take oath as our 44th President. I am not ashamed to say that I wept when it happened. I did not think at this point of my life I would see our first African-American President. I thought that I would be an old woman by the time I saw such an event. This inauguration felt different than past ones. It just felt so much more emotional and powerful than in the past. I’m sure the rest of the world was watching us as all this happened. I hope that with this new era we can set an example of what this country can do.
