no joke

According to iTunes I have listened to 7.8 hours of music today so far. Isn't that nice to know.

Really, at times like this with the repetitive typing... pause... insert...footnote...typing..pause..insert.footnote.typing.pauseinsertfootnotetyping

Just over and over and over.

It's like life really.

The same things over and over again and again.

And that's why I've got into Jürgen Teller's work so much recently. Gaunt, hypotic eyes, staring wide into the camera lense. Stiff, awkward poses, completely unnatural, captured in that same position for the rest of eternity. Doing the same things for what feels like forever.

Humdrum.

Mundane.

Boring.

Whatever you want to call it.

So fuck it, if we've got to do it let's at least attempt to have fun.

With 7.9 hours of music.

ALSO:

If you like Jürgen's work (he does the advertising campaigns for Marc Jacobs, i.e. Marc, Lola, Daisy, etc. and Vivienne Westwood, among others) and you're in London this Summer he's giving a talk at the V&A (near the bottom). It's £6-8, so not too much, and it gives you an excuse to go to visit the other exhibitions. Unfortunately I have an exam the next day so I can't go, but you definitely should. Report back!
