McD's & NYC

So I did it again. I ate at mcdonald’s. I only had limited time on errands at lunch and it was the only place in between I had time for. Either that or starve, I kinda wished I had chosen starvation.

Mcdonald’s needs a new slogan-
‘employing the hopelessly unemployable since 1954’.
how about ‘mcdonald’s, we hire employees that make you look better’.
‘eat our food and you’ll fit in with our staff’.
‘eat quick before it coagulates’.

I don’t know what in the nine hells made me get over my disgust to actually eat there. Pork rinds are better. A lard-sicle would be better. Ah well, my body will make me regret it.

Anyway heading down to NYC tomorrow for the weekend. I always have mixed feelings about NYC, I’ve never really had a good time there, but this time we have a place to stay in the city, so maybe that’ll make things better. And I’ve not yet been able to find a good music store for industrial/goth down there. Few shops with good clothes. A lot of walking for not much worthwhile. The only clubs I’ve been to sucked, a lot of pretension & mediocre music. Hopefully this time will go better. If not then I’m swearing off NYC. London will be my port of call. for every bad point of new york, London had 5 good points.

What We Know About ERIS (not much)

The Romans left a likeness of Her for posterity--She was shown as a grotesque woman with a pale and ghastly look, Her eyes afire, Her garment ripped and torn, and as concealing a dagger in Her Bosom. Actually, most women look pale and ghastly when concealing a chilly dagger in their bosoms.

Her geneology is from the Greeks and is utterly confused. Either She was the twin of Ares and the daughter of Zeus and Hera; or She was the daughter of Nyx, goddess of night (who was either the daughter or wife of Chaos, or both), and Nyx's brother, Erebus, and whose brothers and sisters include Death, Doom, Mockery, and Friendship. And that She begat Forgetfullness, Quarrels, Lies, and a bunch of gods and goddesses like that.

One day Mal-2 consulted his Pineal Gland* and asked Eris if She really created all of those terrible things. She told him that She had always liked the Old Greeks, but that they cannot be trusted with historic matters.
"They were," She added, "victims of indigestion, you know."

Suffice it to say that Eris is not hateful or malicious. But She is mischievous, and does get a little bitchy at times.

*THE PINEAL GLAND is where each and every one of us can talk to Eris. If you have trouble activating your Pineal, then try the appendix which does almost as well.
