I was reading about Heath Ledger online. I didn't go looking for the story, but it's everywhere you go of course. It made me remember seeing Brokeback Mountain in the theater...and then reading the story right after. I reread it last night. Still quiet and powerful. That was my candle for Heath, I guess.

The notorious hate group, the Westboro Baptist Church, is planning on picketing Heath's memorial, (reported on FOX news of course) because he played a gay character? They say that he made it seem ok to be gay, but I think they maybe saw a different movie than I did, because in the movie I saw it told the story of two guys that fell in love, with one of them murdered and the other one ending up alone in a trailer. Phelps and his ilk came to Ann Arbor a few years ago to protest outside the local gay bars; I actually saw him. The people here organized this thing, where people donated money to GLBTQ organizations for every minute that those bastards were here, and then when he left, they announced how much money Phelps had raised for the gays with his presence! They should just do that everywhere he goes; turn him into a gay activist without his consent. Serves him right.

I haven't been feeling that well today.

I'm contemplating a lot of different projects, and I'm not that great of a planner...it takes a lot out of me. lol. I know that makes me sound retarded and maybe I am. I mean...I'm slow. And I'm ok with that.

I want to do more with the collage. I want to do more reading. I want to get a stack of photos scanned (been putting that one off forever!). I want to do many things; it's just a question of managing the time that I have.
