Last night I dreamt about Heath Ledger in London, and I was so filled with nostalgia when I woke up that for a long time I couldn't wrap my mind around him actually being dead; I was trying to separate the truth from my dream. It hit me as I was reading the paper during breakfast (I had scrambled eggs and apricot-ginger sausages, totally delicious but not totally diet-conscious - it was still worth it), and I saw the review for The Dark Knight, which opens tonight at midnight.
I want to go see it! And not just because of my dream, though it does make it seem pretty appropriate. I'm thinking it's almost worth a trip across the bay into San Francisco to see on the IMAX. Particularly since gas prices are suddenly going down? I don't know, though. Do you think this is the sort of movie that will bring me down?
I do wish Heath Ledger were still alive. Whenever I think of his death I remember hearing about it for the first time upon my arrival to London and how it didn't seem real. He is like our generation's James Dean. I wish he hadn't died.
I don't wish he would come back from the dead, though. I am currently reading World War Z, and I know what a serious threat zombies are. Scary.
