bone tired
This weekend is shaping up to be another foodie weekend, since we are treating one of my sisters to some good meals. Okay, I know I'm picky, but is it me or is it impossible to find a decent Chinese seafood restaurant that will also have good service? (Edited because I was being too mean.)
You know what's funny? People who are always trying to figure out how to categorize you. I had lunch with some people at work, and one of them was like, "So what sort of geek girl are you? Gamer? Sci-fi? Ren-faire?" Um, just general? I don't fit a type - I just know what I like and am unapologetic about it.
Also, we ate lunch at a Chinese buffet that charged by the pound. That is all sorts of wrong.
Speaking of nerding, I am so excited about this: Google Books My Library. I think I might live in GoogleWorld from now on. Anyway, it's similar to LibraryThing - not as many neat features, but this might just stop me from forking over money for LibraryThing. You can add books to your library, "label" stuff (why they don't just call it tags I don't know), rate, review, and create an RSS feed, and share publicly. You can use a different username than your personal email one. It's pretty awesome.
Book Search also has a blog.
Maybe Google will also implement a GoogleMusic and GoogleMovies and GoogleEVERYTHING!
By the way, "Medical Tourism" is a new magazine - the magazine and the organization are “dedicated to helping to solve the American HealthCare crisis by allowing the 50 million Americans without insurance information on going overseas to foreign countries for surgery and healthcare, where the prices are almost 80% less and the quality of care is equal to the United States.
How sad is that?
I am signing up for some sites to test out reviews for my next article, and I have some serious pet peeves regarding the process:

I am signing up for some sites to test out reviews for my next article, and I have some serious pet peeves regarding the process:
- sites that won't let you log in until you confirm via email; inconvenient
- sites that point you to a video instead of a static text about page; some of us don't use video players because we hatess them
- sites that require you to download flash/extraneous media stuff that slow down your browsing experience
- sites that are overly web 2.0 designed - the sans serif fonts, the rounded corners
- Myspace clones
