twincityhacker: hands in an overcoat's pockets (John Barrowman)
Dream of the Day: John Barrowman presenting American news dressed as Captain Jack. The last word was, "Oklahoma." So instead of saying "Oklahoma" he decided to sing the word and segued into a song from "Oklahoma."

Good way to start the day.

I'm brained out for the day. I just finished reading: The Girl from Samos by Menader, The Oresteia by Aeschylus, and then Iphigeneia in Tauris. Iphigeneia is a sort of sequel of The Orestia, hence the re-reading of the trilogy again.

The Girl from Samos was just boring. Part of the problem is that there's great chunks play missing or damaged, so when the action gets going it grinds to a halt for exposition on what probably happened in the missing bits. And the plot is just not funny - the "humor" is pretty much all over-heard conversations or mistaken identies, and everyone is one step away from killing their families.

The Birds by Aristophines, was way better. Stupid humor, but it at least had humor.
