This is a "second journal" for![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
gurdonark, based on the theme "100 Tales from the Dark Side". Because my regular journal arguably is an upbeat "musical comedy", leavened, as musicals often are, with only a few somber ballads, this journal aims to be the book of the dead to provide contrast and detail. Rather than create a journal post with that theme, the idea is to take a number of negative facts and render them as a writing exercise.
In this world, there are so many banalities. I think that human flaw and error are endlessly fascinating, but perhaps also endlessly banal.
In Hell, the stand-up comics are really irritating, and the curtain never falls.
This does not purport to be a complete catalog of faults or shortcomings, and by design it will feature picayune flaws as well as major error.
I found myself resisting the urge to list anything at all, so I suppose this is a difficult journal to write.
When I was a child, I was told that if one stands in front of a mirror in the darkness and says "I believe in Mary Worth, I believe in Mary Worth, I believe in Mary Worth", then her old, sympathetic face would appear in the mirror. Who knows what this particular mirror will show? Please don't mind the cracking too much--I will mind enough for all of us.
