Or more, tales of Whoa! The genius I live with, in a fit of overenthusiasm, picked me up when I walked in the door last night. Then due to poor balance, cheap brandy and the fact that I am not a delicate little flower, spilled us both onto our very hard wooden floors. Cheek, floor, floor, cheek and now I have a shiner the size of Detroit.

He was within his rights to be happy, his favorite sister just had a healthy baby boy. He, however, is just such a dumb ass sometimes. He wanted me to stay up and play with him, so I did, putting in my (hee) Starburst edition DVD of DNA Mad Scientist. I tried to listen to the commentary, but M. was far too troublesome, talking through it and bugging me, so I had to turn it off and just watch. Hardly a hardship, but I was annoyed. And now I'm tired and headachey and look like I've been decked.

On a much more important note, Happy Birthday to the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] iamsab, who has changed her moniker but not her lovely self:)

Still on the Classics bent, and [livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns mentioned that there are 12 Cylon models, as well as 12 gods in the classical Greek Pantheon, and that it's possible that the models represent the gods.

So, for those who didn't follow along in elementary school, we have Zeus, Hera, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Hephaestus, Demeter, Poseidon, Hermes, Dionysus (We could also include Hades, Persephone, Eros, Hestia, and Hebe. But we won't, because that's more than 12).

I have some theories on certain representations, but I think I'll just save 'em for now. Yes, Six could be Aphrodite, and Sharon, well I think Sharon is Persephone, which leaves open a host of other possibilities because she is not in the traditional Pantheon. She could be Artemis, goddess of the hunt as well.

However, I also said I'd talk about how the Farscape characters were archetypes, drawn from the characteristics of the Pantheon, which is in turn a representation of the good and bad of humanity.

Cut for those who just don't care! )

And now, I'm starving, so I'll come back to this later.
