This weekend, I began Nickle and Dimed, which was a book I was v. interested in reading, and yet never started, allowing it to accumulate dust on my book shelf. It's really good if a bit dated now, though while reading I am alternately shocked/amazed/depressed/ashamed. If you've read it you probably know why re: that combination of emotions. I'm about 3/4 of the way through, so I'll have more to say about it when I'm actually done.
I decided to bite the bullet and participate in the D/G Fic Exchange (link in my last post). I've been wanting to write something -- a one-shot -- in recent days, but haven't been particularly motivated to start something. I'm hoping this will do the trick.

In WoW news, Jade and I are completely obsessed with Warsong Gulch. It's like crack. After many games, we've even made up (in like 10 seconds, so there's no scientific strategem to this) what we think would be the best grouping of 10 in a WSG team, ( and they are... )
