Creepy famous art
Is anybody else as broken as I am over Hieronymus Bosch's egglike monster (pictured here, because terror shared is doubled) in the Hell panel of his Garden Of Earthly Delights triptych?!This thing haunted me my whole life until I happily forgot about it some time, I think, last Christmas. Then, late last night, I was reading Lolita and came across this: "From the very first terrace I saw, far below, on the tennis court which seemed the size of a school child's ill-wiped slate, golden Lolita playing in a double. She moved like a fair angel among three horrible Boschian cripples."Thanks a lot. And now I'm terrified. (Even though no one else thinks it is scary.) Hieronymus Bosch, not you again. :(In other, happier news, I really, really love Owen Beverly.Anyway, you will see me. This is a threat. <3I used to hate those <3 things. I don't even know what happened.

Haha, basically. I want to post more but, generally, I feel like all my thoughts are too stupid to put into text. And then I explode with them and you get a post like this. :DSee, even I can barely comprehend that, so you are hardly an ignorant plebe. (My singing teacher called me a plebe the other day - she told me about some arty thing and I was like, "...Yeah, okay." - and it really took me back to days gone by. Oh, the drama!)I love it when you use that icon!
I love Rogers. He cracks me up.
