Am I doing better? Not particularly. But I am still here. I am still standing. I haven't quite gone off that cliff.

Thank you to the person who emailed me with their concern and well wishes (you know who you are, there is no need
to name names). I am not trying to solicit such reactions, the purpose of my entry was simply to document how I was feeling. Most of the time I want to be alone and isolated when I get like this--I actively avoid going online, I neglect SB and my RP characters, I cut myself off. Since this dark tide
rose at work...I felt compelled to share my feelings and emotions.

The Seductive Dark Voice

"It's not like you'll be really missed. The Earth turns on and on, whether you are here, or not. The fact that you are so far away from everyone you think cares about you just makes it easier, after all. There are many people worse off than you, but they are stronger than you are, and its folly to pretend otherwise."

I'm fighting it as best as I can. I think I am losing.

Some Dark images here. Caution is not merely pro forma in this case. Think the darker images from Royo, if you
are familiar with his work.

Earth as Art

From Lisa DuMond's website:

Keep an eye on the SciFi Channel website for my interview with screenwriter/producer/author Richard Christian Matheson and learn about his new projects, including a Chronicles of Amber miniseries and a new book.

As Emeril might say, BAM!

Pretty quiet today.

Much of the day at work the Blog complained that it could not publish due to template errors. Oh, well. If and when I get a domain and a real website, I definitely am going to migrate to something like Moveable Type.

I finished Archangel Protocol, and have begun Dreamside.

I felt uncomfortable when I opened the book, I have had it for a while, it was a gift last year from TGFKAB, and the amazon.com receipt with her message on it was still inside. A bitter joke, you might say. But, I am digesting this book, its a fairly nice read so far. I had avoided actually reading it (and had been tempted to fling it away) because it precisely had been a gift from Bonnie. But, I couldn't do that...to a book.

Updated and worked on my somewhat previously defunct Jvstin's Universe page. As you can see on the links to the right, I've emphasized the "Book Reviews, Jvstin Style" page, which I formerly called Small Book Reviews. Basically its very short
book reviews, with a numerical rating and a few lines about the book. Go forth and enjoy.
