( minor thoughts on tonight's Glee with spoilers so in sum: I liked it, but didn't love it and that's okay )

WordRiot is hosting free fiction from various authors just for today. There's over sixty stories there (I think) and I did end up downloading some to read later. I read one and it was okay but I don't regret reading it. All of the stories are short--novellas, really--and don't require much of a time investment.

Currently I'm going through my book collection to weed out things I can get rid of, it pains me, but I know there are some books I am not going to read again or didn't love enough to actually keep around.

My feelings for MTV are well known (they did help create one of my tags); that being mentioned, this may be the funniest recap of The Real World I have ever read. (No, I did not watch it last night. I was all over Top Chef!) My favorite parts--
