Good news
On friday I had an appointment with the shrink and he told me that my depression is in full remission. I'm still on the meds, but I have been feeling so much better. Huzzah for feeling like me.

My sister Teresa and her husband Richard were in from London last week. Wizard! it was great getting to spend some time with them. I get lucky if I see them 1-2 times a year. In fact I haven't seen Richard since our honeymoon, and that was very brief.

In other news I am actively working on research for the Shattered Orb novel. I'm currently writing a glossary of terms/locations/religions/races ect. I've gotten a map drawn out that I am happy with. I had the revalation the other day that I don't need gods. Both the mortal world, the soft planes (Mindscape/Shadowscape/Otherlands/Elemtntal planes), the higher planes (Celestial cities), and the Lower planes (City of the Dead/Hellish Realm ect.) don't require gods. Instead I have moved to Bodhisattvas, Devas, and Demons using the gods I had created as different creatures still trapped by life and death. Now thats not saying they do not have religions based around them, but they are not "gods" in the sense of say Roman or Norse gods. None of them are strictly benevolent or evil.

More of the comic book I am trying to write is coming together. The puzzle is starting to fit and I have a new name for it. Singularity.

Last if you havent seen Juno or No Country for Old Men get off your ass and see them.
