My dad took me to go see Bill Cosby live tonight and I must admit, it was a hell of a lot funnier than I ever thought it would be. I mean, I grew up watching reruns of the Cosby show, so I liked the man and always thought he was a good comedian/actor, but to see him live was surreal. It is a truly different experience and if any one has the chance to go see him, do it. I have to admit, my favorite part was when he was describing stories from when he was a kid and he was positive that if he did anything bad, God was going to curse him with frogs. It was so utterly ridiculous and yet a fear that would be completely believable given the time he grew up in. Again, if you have the chance, go see him. It is worth every penny.

Plus, I feel kind of prideful about my school for the first time because when he came out on stage, he was wearing a University of Oregon sweatshirt and hat. :) It made me smile.

Also, I sooooo want to go to the Berkshire Theater Festival in Massachusetts this summer. Randy Harrison is going to be in Waiting for Godot and if I go see the August 4th production, then I’d be able to sit in the audience for the post show discussion. I mean, as if Randy Harrison being in anything isn’t enough for me, the fact that it’s Waiting For Godot is so much better. The more I read that play (and given my major, I’ve read it about five times) the more I love it. Of course, nothing beats actually seeing it played out. I’ve seen a school performance of a few scenes from it and also the filmed performance and both were very good. Plus, Randy Harrison is an amazing actor. The more I learn and find out about him, the more I admire his skill. So to see him in Waiting for Godot would probably be worth the fifty bucks I would have to pay. Although, I also would have to fund the plane ticket and the hotel to stay there. The question now is, how do I come up for the money to go do that and make my trip out to England this year while still saving up enough money to move over there come January? I’ll have to give it some thought but I’m kind of thinking I want to spend my summer traveling. I mean, when else am I going to be able to go see Randy in Waiting for Godot? This is kind of a once in a life time thing? Maybe I can con my grandparents into giving me some money for being such a wonderful child. :P

Tell me if you have any suggestions for quick money making. I’d love to hear it. And no, before anyone even suggests it, I’m not selling my body. LOL

I'm kind of in this state of shock. They just announced on the news that Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment this morning and I don't really know what to do with that. It's weird. I mean, this is an actor that I adored for most of my adolecents. You have no idea how many times I watched a Knights Tale when I first got it. We're talking once every day for months. I can still repeat a good amount of the movie to you. I remember that 10 Things I Hate About You started off a friendship between Ashley and I when we were in Jr. High becasue we both thought the scene where he sings was so romantic (we were thirteen, okay?) and I remember balling when he got killed in the Patriot. And now he's dead and it doesn't seem real. Part of me is angry about it. Mostly because there's rumors that its suicide and if it was... I don't know. He left behind a two year old daughter. It's not right. The man was talented and he had things going for him and now it all just boils down to this. What makes me mad though is the fact that on the site that is announcing this news, you're allowed to comment on the article and there are people there saying "He had it coming" or "Thank God. He was a horrible actor." I don't care if the man is a horrible actor, he was still a son and a father and a friend to people out there and you don't say that about someone you don't know. He's left behind a family and he was only 28. That is far to young to die. That's only nine years older than me. That's the same age of a lot of people that I know, too.

So I'm here to say this. Rest In Peace and I pray that the family and friends that have to deal with this aftermath make it through okay.
