  1. Back on Twitter. Who says furloughs are a bad thing?
  2. At Dolores Park looking at a dog that seems to have a Prince Albert. Why? And why can I not turn away?
  3. Herodotus: The Histories sets the model for how Western histories will not be written.
  4. Thucydides: Peloponnesian War sets the model for how Western histories will be written.
  5. Ajax -- on the list for unknown reasons. Sophocles already covered the whole "should you bury a disgraced man" issue better in Antigone.
  6. Philoctetes -- only classic play (aside from The Career of Bill Walton) whose plot revolves around foot problems.
  7. Time for you to go, Grasshopper.
  8. Thing about beers alone -- hard to regulate your pace.
  9. Somehow, I've always found Wellington's sexy.
  10. Being stood up at a bar by a colleague. Might seem like a bad thing but god do I like sucking ona a beer alone.
  11. Listening to a conversation about the correct definition of the "taint". I wonder if taint appears in any work of the St. Johns curriculum?
  12. Antigone -- maybe my favorite Greek tragedy. Thoughtful consideration of sympathy, obligation, and civil disobedience.
  13. Oedipus at Colonus -- the greatness of Athens is attributed to its taking pity on the suffering and defending the powerless against tyranny.
  14. chilren chanting in unison -- perhaps the creepiest of all sounds
  15. Oedipus Rex -- isn't it odd that a guy so good at riddles couldn't figure this one out?
  16. Prometheus Bound -- Aeschylus' finest moment (if it was actually his). Is any and all resistance to despotism noble?
  17. is a bad, bad sign of things to come. Yes, let's fight it cheap using special forces? I thought Cheney was out of government.
  18. McKiernan's firing x
  19. Eumenides -- the last segment of the Oresteia is perhaps Aeschylus' worst moment: women's anger equated with barbarism.
  20. Libation Bearers -- if you need to kill your mother, maybe you should let your sibling do it. Happy Mother's Day.
