Someone prefaced their post yesterday with, "whoever said time heals all wounds..."

Which made me wonder, who did say that time heals all wounds?

Cursory investigations show a lot of folks refuting that time alone heals wounds, ranging from the bitter to the humorous. So who said it?

Well, I still don't know. But I do know that Hippocrates, who died in 370BC was attributed with this quote:

"Healing is a matter of
time, but it is sometimes also
a matter of opportunity."

Also, as a homage to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, I'm pronouncing Hippocrates as "Hippo-crayts" and not "Hyp-poc-rateez". Anyone at home is welcome to play along.

So, I think we can argue that some moron prior to Hippocrates made the claim that time heals all wounds. Though not strongly argue. After all, some drunken scribe could have added "all" later on when translating from greek to latin to english. Who knows?

All I know is that I wanted an excuse to share my alternate pronounciation of Hippocrates.

Fun with the Independent Film Channel

Forget the fact that it was my mother who informed me that the Henry Rollins show was on the film channel. Yes, it turns out my progenitor is up on Henry Rollins more than I. Moving on...

I do enjoy his show, and now I know where his little film essays come from. (I never said I wasn't slow).

But in case anyone else was as out of the loop as I was, consider taking a peek at the show. He'll definitely have some perspectives that can start a conversation.

I also saw an ad for an upcoming series on IFC, premiering August 5th called the "Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman". Why am I looking forward to it? Laura Kightlinger created it, as well as stars in it. I often enjoy a lot of her work, so I'm looking forward to see what she does with this show.

In other news, I'm happy that season three of Dr. Who has started on Sci Fi network here in the states. And yes, I was too lazy to bitorrent the series in order to see it before it was aired.

I also understand that Torchwood will be coming to BBC America later this year. I'm just not sure when.

In other other news, Talledega Nights is rather amusing, in my opinion. Catch it when you need some fun humor. An amusing snippet:
Ricky Bobby: Are you asking me for a divorce?!?
His two sons, overhearing this: Yayyyy! Two Christmas'!

Once

Has anyone seen "Once" yet? Have you listened to the soundtrack yet? Huh?

Your mileage my vary, but I found the movie and soundtrack quite good.
