15 hours straight

(last september...)

on the computer. no breaks. except for toilet breaks but apart from that 15 hours straight i have sat at this computer desk in front of this giant mac screen with earphones in listening to the same repetitive music until my ears have bled.

my eyes are about to fall out too. late night last night and my head can' t take any more of history.

you heard me right .

i can't even type properly anymore.

i've had enough of egypt and pharaohs and hatshepsut and who gives a crap if she should be called a king or queen - she had the power, who cares what she was called?

i've had enough of jfk and assassinations and historians and the golden era and camelot and if his driver shot him dead or if the cia was out to get him. he's dead now, we've learnt to live without him, and we've learnt our lesson not to drive around in a roofless car waving at people.

i've had enough of whitechapel murders and jack the ripper and walter sickert and paintings and violence and blood and hoaxes and letters and body parts and prostitutes. yes we've learn t that americans such as patricia cornwell shouldn't be given large sums of money so they can go buy up expensive paintings and have them destroyed to try and see if there is something inside.

it's a piece of canvas. what on earth could be "inside" ?

i'll go back to finishing up my jfk essay now.
