Start with : a woman
adding adjectives such as: deadly conceptual, heart-achingly boring, mind-numbingly monotonous
and it goes with a few more comments: She shut off almost all lights coz there was a slide show. For two whole hours I tried not to doze off and concentrate on her 'um...hum...' populated with spellings of key words. When the light was finally back on, I felt as if reborne from the dead.
We went on a tour to the Palace of Knossos. Correction, our eyes went on a tedious map-reading tour of the half-destructed Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete, where the legend of the half-bull minotaur dwells. It's bizarre why a splendid & luxurious palace like Knossos was totally unfortefied. Or at least archaelogical evidence suggests so. Mycenaen palaces on the other hand have thick walls all around. (Nevertheless, they didn't escape natural disasters. & the citadel was in worse shape than Knossos)I really adore that 'light well' right beside 'queen's megaron', its sole purpose to provide light and fresh air. I so need it right now.

There're many blue monkeys depicted in fresco. I wonder why they're blue. It's not that they don't have brown paint.
blue monkeys, blue blue blue
Who knows why they're blue?? Maybe the ancient Minoans thought monkeys rafted over the ocean so they'were blue! Or is it associated with mythology? I don't think monkeys ever made any guest appearance in Greek mythology though.
