Quote of the day.

"I'm five foot three inches brown hair curling all over my face, bright green eyes, I'm 26 but my body's tough from dancing if you know what I mean -- well I got bored doing a strip, well first, I got bored doing that Ph.D. shit and being frustrated professors' straight-A pet, especially being faithful to a husband who spent all his time in bed dealing out poker hands; I left school, descended to the more interesting depths and became a stripper, even that finally bored me, so I decided, on my 26th birthday, to become the toughest detective alive."

This is the story about how I have kept myself from being bored."
- Kathy Acker, "Rip Off Red, Girl Detective".

What's even better is that she wrote that way on purpose.

I have a couple of Kathy Acker's books, but they're tough slogs.
