I get a tablet, and Caine walks into the great sunset...
This is quite a bittersweet day.
The great thing is, I got a Wacom Bamboo Fun Medium Tablet today in the mail! So far, I'm very impressed with it! Much better than the old tablet I got from Peter (
wolfchylde), which I felt had more control over me than I it. And when I get myself accustomed to this thing, you can tell that I have big plans for this thing!
Then, I was told by Mom over the phone:
David Carradine (1936-2009), best known as Kwai Chang Caine in Kung Fu and the villain Bill in Kill Bill, was found dead yesterday in a hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand. He was found hanging in a closet, suspecting he committed suicide or some other cause. This news is indeed shocking and sad, as I really liked him, and still seemed so charismatic and energetic for his age! He was ostensibly at Dragon*Con 2004 (my first D*C), but I never got to meet him.
Rest peacefully, Grasshopper. You will be missed.
ADDENDUM: Thanks to August Ragone, I found that another one has just departed: Shih Kien (1913-2009) who played the villain Mr. Han in Enter the Dragon, passed away this morning, aged 96! He has lived a long and happy life, and will also be greatly missed.
