Where is the horn that was blowing?
They have passed like rain on the Mountain,
like wind in the meadow.
The days have gone down in the West
behind the hills into shadow.
How did it come to this?"
The poem is by JRR Tolkien in Lord of the Rings, as distilled by Peter Jackson. I thought it was very fitting for my emotions just now.

I know what you mean Cameron - I have the same feeling - it was the same with the Tsunami - I was just glues to the tv - even though I didn't want to be. The radio station I listen to in the morning - Chris Moyles on BBC Radio 1 (I believe its on a pay per hear radio channel in the USA) was talking about it - now normally Chris is a joker but he was quite sad this morning and was saying how he saw the news but that he couldn't tuen it off. He was saying that they said ' they're just bringing the body out' and he was like I don't want to see this - yet he didn't switch over.
I've just been looking up stuff as much as I can today chekcing the news every 10mins for any updates....

I wonder if he was hoping for another nomination for his role in "I'm Not There" and then the nominations were announced today, and he wasn't nominated... :(

I was wondering - can he possibly get nominated for the batman movie?
It makes me mad - at the time of him not getting the best actor award everyone was like - but people have to do a few films before they get it - he'll get awarded for BBM in a couplemof years for another role - just like Phillip Seymor Hoffman did that year.
Now he's not getting that chance. >:(

Sigh...

Shit. Thats hard.
That was my one worry. That family, Michelle etc would find out that way. I knew 90mins wasn't long enough for them to know before it was all over the news. :'(

And now I think I need a drink. :(

Can they though - I mean an accidental overdose won;t look different medically than an intended overdose, no? I suppose if he's just got enough medicine in his body to kill him, rather than lots and lots, thats a good indication.
Leslie, Wishes and any other nurses - can you elaborate?
