...Among other things, T.S. Elliot's poem the Wasteland seems to be haunting me lately. Mary mentioned it once in passing and then I've seen at least three references to it since then that have stuck with me, and all to that line. Funny how the world reminds you that something exists, and then it won't let you forget :o

Anyway. Maybe I'm not quite so badly off. J.V. Jones's new book comes out on Thursday. I'm very excited, I've been waiting quite some time for it, and it is coming out here waaaaay before it will be out in the states or Canada. I could order it through Amazon, who are selling it for about 15 pounds, plus shipping. Or I can go around to the bookstores and see how much they are hawking it for. I very rarely buy hardcovers. April is certainly going to be the most Expensive month for me... In theory, I fianlly have to pay off all my tuition :o At least that will mean I can actually budget for things, though. Stupid variable exchange rate :/

Anyway. I'm going to need strenght to avoid buying that book. But I'll be away this weekend, so maybe I can minimize my exposure. I'm going to the Gaming Nationals, but more on that later. I hope it doesn't mean missing a late Easter dinner with Mary, Ian, and some other people :/
