So, here we are again. Me empty office, blog and tiredness. New of the day... not much. Still persisting with the barbelith thing for a little while longer. I don't know if its going to present me with anything new though. The sigil thing was important. From that the rest of magic can be nutted out. I think I have nuttered out hypersigils, traitor is one of course and I didn't even realise. Interesting barbelith has made me more interested in my own mythology. Trotted out Itharl'ngorsa for the first time in probably ten years. I was surprised by just how little of my mythology I retained. I can remember Targ of the dark gods villianous beast at the core of earthoin saga, Muard - red god of vengence, master of the seventy-six serpents, and that is about it really. There were at least 20 dark gods, but they tend to be a monstrous bunch without a lot of individual personality, so I not surprise I can't remember them. The're all just Imodian masks in any event. My universe needs more characters. So far its really only populated by about 10 omega class traitors and a few bit players. Lots of corporations though... Now that the place making in the traitor universe has cooled, it needs people. Its meant to have a population in the several hundred billion...posted by Grant C on 5:12 PM

Last words for the night. Quiet evening in. Did some sword training. Ate some food. Interestingly, every post I make to Barbelith Underground seems to end a thread. Its back to being the geek that no one likes again I guess. (sigh) One step forward into a larger world, then three steps back into the corner. Story of my life really...posted by Grant C on 10:17 PM
Home.more Barbelith reading. more music making, the mission to make true house continues. Got a free night to do stuff, and do nothing. The key will to be to get to bed early I suspect...

News of the day. Had a good read of the barbelith underground today. Some interesting, some filler - true of anything. Some intriguing. Little creative exercises, much fun. So enthused was I that I did a redesign of the front page. I also had an interesting idea regarding how to capture an avatar within a completely fictional setting. I also got some work done as well...

Irrelevant? Old question, new sheepskin rug. Big thaw and potatoes with orange rind. Shall we fly west? or east then west of west? or shall we be very tao and head the the fabled isle where no love grows...posted by Grant C on 2:59 PM
Ogo. A little research. Ogo, the pale fox, is apparently the "satan" of the dogon tribe. An african tribe of note due to its seemingly unfathomable knowledge of the star sirius - the dog star. He broke away from "god" at the moment of his creation to, quite predictably, cause mayhem and destruction. The references go as far a cerebus, the three head dog that guards the gate of hell.
So a more interesting choice of avatar that I first though. Still "Ogo" sounds crap, and he could have used any number of varients. But it was in response to a completely paranoid post during a psychotic episode so I don't know why I particularily care. Its not as if it matters either way, the world ends every second of every day. I also apparently die one day, so whether or not Grant Morrison is an avatar of satan is really between him and his hairdresser. And anyway, he's funny and I'm still playing with magic and the world will end when its ready.
Though, why do I want to be one of the good guys? I don't think this post actually make sense?

Okay, back at work. Time to start blogging regular again. We're flat broke, and owed a lot of money... goddam deadbeat friends!!! We get mentioned on Grant-Morrison.com as he publishes the email I wrote while having a psychotic episode. I replied of course, calling his satanic avatar a "fat croatian drag queen". That should stir the pot a bit.
