Had an allergic reaction, not certain to what. Skin on my hands and arms, abdomen and legs with bumps that itch and scratching doesn’t end it and at the same time reading about Tantalus sent to spend eternity beneath low hanging fruit that bends away if he tries to eat or water recedes if he bends down to try quenching his thirst, hence the word tantalize.

So unfair all he did was kill his son in order to feed him to the Gods when they came for dinner. Was even Tantalis’s favourite son, just trying to honour the Gods with the best. How was he suppose to know they don’t like to dine on human sacrifices? If you didn’t know any religious Jews how would you know to not serve them milk with meat?

Which Greek God is currently punishing me? Might be the one who oversees A&R because I made fun of that old loser before he was fired. Maybe the one who protects ancient publicists with British accents but he had it coming after trying to impress me with his sexist jokes. So what if I made my displeasure public. Maybe it’s the God in charge of keeping people believing in Gods? Who better to poison me with itching. They overestimate my importance, just a teensy weensy mortal playing improvisational piano to audiences of 3 people. Don’t the Gods realize I’m already terribly punished for choosing this work? Maybe the Gods aren’t so smart, maybe it’s time to see a doctor.
