to note.

i’m only awake for the next five minutes, but between yesterday’s surpirse party for preston, the trip to long island, the karaoke, the old indian rum mixed with south carolina cherry cola, the karaoke, the blowing out of a mic to weezer, the screaming benington kids, getting them kicked out of a bar or getting a bouncer to eject them from grassroots….

Although Heath Ledger hasn’t officially announced that he won’t be returning to the role of the Joker, we’re guessing that in this case, silence gives assent.
Leonard Pierce makes a funny! Because saying “Ledger is apparently buried with work WINK WINK HONK HONK HE DED" would’ve been obvious. Also something about a Catwoman rumor thing.
