Due date: TODAY. 1800 hrs.

Takes place: TODAY. 1800 hrs.
Cue coronary.
Okay, okay so it was entirely my fault for keeping this stuff for the last minute. But considering last week's struggle with the portfolio, which dealt with the same goddamn topic, I couldn't bring myself to think about Byzantine without wanting to retch. I tells ya, if I ever get to Istanbul, I'm torching the place to the ground, icons and all. I can't believe the iconoclasts didn't think of that, the incompetent idiots. I'm entirely on their side though. Not only do I believe that idol-worship chips away at people's brains through the generations, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THINK OF THE ART HISTORY STUDENTS!
Wish me luck. I'll need it.
It sucks to be a procrastinating perfectionist.

And don't you even dare of thinking of torching Istanbul down. 'cause, you know, that'd mean I'd have to, return the torching favor and that'd bring a whole new meaning to "it backfired on you". *eg*
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THINK OF THE ART HISTORY STUDENTS!
ROTFL!! Which translated in Byzantine would mean "for the worship of idols, think of... huh?" or is that "beware of potential torchers"...?
What's the other periods you gotta study?
And Good luck again! You know "c'est Byzance" is a typical expression for "it's Heaven", right? /ducks and hides
