Ooh, are you going to paint it a different color so everyone knows you slew the minotaur?
Bwahaha! And yes, Theseus, not Thebes. I blame...being bad at Greek mythology, honestly. No other excuse.

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.

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)

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.
