"Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great Clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But, doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains."
- Alan Moore, "Watchmen"
Rest In Peace, Comedian

I've spent the day watching movies with Robin in them. Started with "Good Will Hunting", then "Popeye", "Aladdin", "Jumanji", "The Aristocrats", "The World According to Garp", "Flubber", "Mrs. Doubtfire", "Hook", "Dead Poets Society" and "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen". I've choked up too drat many times today, while rewatching some of my favourite movies from my youth, and I'm not ashamed to tell the world (or at least goons) that the tears have been flowing freely. So many great movies, so many fantastic memories.

Didn't really get better when I decided to read tweets about people's - celebrities and people I have no idea who is - reaction to his death. Damnit, it feels like he left us way too soon. It'll be a long night, and I doubt the hurting will go away anytime soon, but I'll guess we just have to live with it. There's not much else to do.

Norm McDonald's tweeted story was beautiful, though.
