Achilles is a bull

music

and Hector is a goat.
Definitely.
As in Taurus, and Capricorn.
If only they hadn't got in each other's way.

War.
Now that's a hard problem.
If you're the world's finest, this is the problem to go after. Forget the traveling salesman.

HIV

music

It's still here. We don't talk about it with the fear or frequency that we used to. But it's still here. It still kills. All that stuff about not sharing needles and never ever having unprotected sex? It's still relevant. Just so you know, kiddo.

"Immortality."

music

"Take it. It's Yours."
Thus bellows Achilles in the (current) film production of Troy.
Brad Pitt plays Achilles. You did very well, my dear!

Brad Pitt is a future president of the United States.
That's right. Say you read it here first.

I thought that line was the oddest ever in a movie.
"Immortality. Take it. It's yours."
I still think it's odd. But now I can't get it out of my head.

Immortality.
Take It.
It's Yours.

Who wrote the Iliad? Who is Homer? Who is Mozart? Who is...Cora Sadosky?
