Got back too long ago from the hospital. Dad's doing ok. The stint went well and he is in a room now. This is the last stint he will receive and if things don't improve he will be in talks about open heart surgery next. If you have spare any prayers and thoughts, they are always welcome.

While in town, I visited the library there, which I haven't done in years. I got around 11 books.

1. The Way of the Wizard by Deepak Chopra
2. The Greener Shore by Morgan Llewellyn
3. The Celts by Gerard Herm
4.  The Celts: Conquerors of Ancient Europe by Christine Eluére
5. The Celtic Empire by Peter Beresford Ellis
6. The Druids by Stuart Piggot
7. The Real Camelot: Paganism and the Arthurian Romances by John Darrah
8. How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill
9. From Mist and Stone: The History and Lore of the Celts and Vikings by George W. Stone
10. Celtic Warriors by Dáithí Ó hÓgáin
11. Heroes of the Dawn: Celtic Myth (Time Life Books)
    

So I have a lot to keep me busy along with tons of new books that have come in for review and I also bought a used copy of The Encyclopedia of Celtic Wisdom by John & Caitlin Matthews. I'm excited about meeting Ellen Dugan in September. I've read three of her books so far, and I really liked Natural Witchery. From what I hear about the new store she is coming too, it sounds fantastic!

In movie news: I'm dying to see Becoming Jane but no theater around here is playing it. :( Pride and Prejudice is sadly my only Austen fix, no movie store has Mansfield Park on DVD and BBC hasn't shown Persuasion in a while. Bah. The Number 23 is brilliant, so do rent it people. Jim Carrey really impressed me.

In writing news: I've moved a bit forward in the vampire novel I am writing. I've had lots of new ideas lately and a certain actor has inspired a new character's look so woo. My Druid novel has sort of taking a break right now and so have my three non-fiction works. I seriously take on too much at once.

In art news: I may be moving my art show since I will be in Birmingham that day to see Ellen (and I'm running low on the money for prints), so stay tuned for more.

Ok, I need to get running so I can do some cleaning and get some reading done. Ciao!
