Thanks, msbelle! Keep healing up, Epic!
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Slight Dad update: he wants to go home, but he’s having trouble peeing without a catheter, and they definitely won’t discharge him until either he can pee normally OR they have a plan to address the issue (his prostate is enlarged and maybe it’s time to come out).
There's a "pain in the ass" joke here but I"m just not finding it.

Definitely lots of ~ma for Epic.
Watched Apocalypse Now Redux and it made me want to watch the original cut again. Really felt like a case of less is more.

That's one of those movies that I'm not sure I've ever actually watched, but I've seen so many scenes that I think I have.

It is a fantastic movie. Watching the Redux version made me really appreciate how tight the original is.

I'll add it to the watch list, thanks!
I'm going to my niece's graduation tomorrow -- I have planned nothing! I guess it will be a cash kind of present. Which, I mean, why not? Who doesn't like cash? (Making myself feel better for being a slacker).

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
A new graduate is probably in need of cash more than anything. It's something she can use; tuck it into a nice card and write a note to make it personal.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My family quotes the "what, don't you like brandy?" / "I like brandy, I just don't want any right now" bit all the time because it's such an inane and pointless exchange and we all understand *completely* why it didn't make it into the original film.
