Apparently, death by cancer is a popular January theme among celebrities.

I didn't really know his work, nor cared much for Bowie's music. Still, a couple more of big names in the entertainment industry have started on the journey towards the shadows in pages of history books. Makes a person... Thoughtfully melancholic, somehow.

My favorite Rickman role was Col. Brandon in Sense & Sensibility.  He was perfect.

Yes... On the other hand, death being an ineitable result of life means that there is also much of that.

Death is merely a full stop to life. Period!

If I knew what ineitable meant I'd possibly manage a better attack, but seriously, there is also much life offered as solace?  Are you truly Asmodean? I demurely request to see the scar I gave the true Asmo in my failed 2013 coup attempt.


I'm happy, hope you're happy too

He got some Divine Plastic Surgery.  >:(

Also, there ought to have been some kind of a v in there somewhere.  >:(

Also, the presense of plentiful life is a vastly depressing thing, not a solace.  >:(

Except ratties. Ratties are good and right and proper and of The Asmo.  >:(
