Prius of Thebes
Prius of Theseus, surely? Ooh, are you going to paint it a different color so everyone knows you slew the minotaur?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Bwahaha! And yes, Theseus, not Thebes. I blame...being bad at Greek mythology, honestly. No other excuse.

What's a couple of letters here and there between friends?
Made me think: the Seven Against Thebes, are they the good guys or the bad guys? I have no idea. Am I for Thebes? I don't know! So similar philosophical uncertainty (although perhaps not universally applicable)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Am I for Thebes? I don't know!
Officially this summer's conundrum! I Phoebe would know.

The Seven Against Thebes is part of the Oedipus Cycle. Two sons of Oedipus are battling over the city; one solicits outside help. Everybody dies, and the aftermath is the story of Antigone. Typical cathartic Greek tragedy stuff.

Happy Birthday, sj!
We have a visitation/funeral (no church mass) this morning for Tim's uncle, and Tim has some stomach badness but is insisting on going. Poor noodle. We'll see how long he lasts; we may just go for the visitation part, pay our respects, and get him back home.
My sinuses are actively trying to kill me; last week I had 7 days of antibiotics for a sinus infection, and when they were done, I still had serious pain and pressure in my sinuses that kept giving me migraines. So yesterday the doctor added 3 more days of antibiotics and 10 days of prednisone. I look forward to the burst of prednisone productivity. And my sinuses better calm the fuck down.

Thanks everyone. We’re in Mystic for a couple days, as a birthday present from TCG.
