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.
Today is a Buffista day of celebration because sj was born this day! I hope you are having a wonderful birthday. May this year be filled with love and joy.
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.
Happy Birthday sj! Hope it's an enjoyable trip.
A trip sounds nice! It is supposed to finally warm up here this week…possibly too much if it’s actually 90 degrees Sunday (I do not want to sit and watch a soccer game in blazing 90 degree sun!) but I’m hoping to go to the beach Friday or Saturday, if the lake is clean enough to swim in (much like the Seine?)
