It's 4:46am and I'm still awake.
It's the night after Christmas Day and I'm downloading Doctor Who's Christmas Special. It will be done in 47 minutes! My internet connection is so slow here..
Also, I promised to my boyfriend that I'll wake up around 9am so I figured I'll just skip sleeping. Only problem is.. I'm already dead tired. I'm listening to music to keep myself awake, haha.
Oh yes, today, I drank two bottles of pear Bulmers (it's cider) and watched a TV programme about baroque. (I LOVE baroque) The show was pretty good, and the man who... did the talking (hahaha) seemed very enthusiastic AND at one part, he was lying on the floor of this abbey and said it was the best way to look at these paintings (I think they were frescos) on the ceiling. Oh, and this one painter... I honestly can't remember his name. (I'm not sure if it was Ribera...) Some of his works were only meant to be seen from one spot and there was this mark where you were meant to stand, and it really looked like the paintings were coming out of the wall. And when you went near, you could see how deformed it actually was! When he was asked about it, he said something like it wasn't his problem, that he just painted it and others were meant to do the understanding.
If it was Ribera, he was one scary man! In Napels, he and two more painters wanted to get rid of other artists who came to Napels. They hired an assassin to kill one, but he accidentally killed one of the helpers (and later his student as well..)
Okay, uh. I'll stop writing now. Haha.
See you!
