and im gonna let you finish but beyonce had one of the best videos of ALL TIME
oh hey kanye.
quick thing. book im reading for english, oranges are not the only fruit. pretty lousy, dont like it much, but i liked this line. if i can be bothered to find it. ok there it is:
''As it was she got upset and blamed me for her headache. This was very like Sir Joshua Reynolds, who complained that Turner always gave him a headache.''
i laughed. reynolds, the portrait artist for the elite; and turner, the crazy drunk loner whose paintings i cannot even describe, because they are that great. i wish i could. i should be able to at least come up with one word cause i stalked him in london between the tate and national gallery/my whole life. but i really cant, not one word. im beginning to think that all ive ever done in london is go to galleries and dubstep clubs. i dont think thats true. ive been to one dubstep club and only the main galleries. stands out i guess. anyway. i tend to just stare at them on the wall like a mo-ron. why? what else are you supposed to do? its canvas and oil on a wall. not like theres anything else i can do. i suppose you could fall into like that woman did last month to the picasso. or steal it. id feel right terrible about doing both.
text is pretty cool too. ''Sir Joshua Reynolds.'' all very pomp and circumstance, here comes the bride, you get the point. ''Turner.'' the man with three first names but none show up here. shame shame shame. no his name isnt shame shame shame turner, though when he went mad and locked himself in his flat he himself might have thought so. may have even said it out load, who knows. i digress. ''Turner.'' cuts it off right there. takes him out of the position of authority. sir joshua reynolds doesnt like him. well he must be right, hes a sir. well history proved you wrong biatch. cause aint nobody looking at reynolds anymore. well they do cause hes still like one of the best british painters ever, so they say. i dont say though.
weird though cause i just read that reynolds let turner into the royal academy, then reynolds died like 5 years later. so he never really saw any of turners wild paintings, and presumably those are the ones that would give him a headache...
...might be that what we have here is a case of fabricat'n! doesnt really change much. the book still sucks and turner is still awesome.

and ill leave off the other big one, that being the one of the wrecked slave ship with all the people being eaten by sharks, cause quite frankly, it scares me too much. (but id put it up here sooner than id put on a reynolds. )
