Extreme displeasure at Delicious fiasco aside (way to remove every useful feature), I'm really entertained and sort of mistily proud of how quickly and broadly fandom mobilizes. The most popular alternative at the moment seems to be Pinboard, which is ideal in many ways and yet not others, so users have gotten together to make a list things they'd like improved/implemented and a search function/directory to keep track of Delicious→Pinboard users. Delicious promises in its blog that it's retained all our old information (tag bundles, subscriptions, networks, etc.) and will eventually be making them public and usable again, but who knows? It's hard not to regard them with a fair amount of suspicion, I feel.

I was meiface@Delicious and am meitachi@Pinboard. Drop me a comment to let me know who you are!

In other news, Amazon's released two new touch Kindles for $149 and $99, and the cheapest of all Kindles for $79, which is tiny and lightweight (no keyboard), but not touch. I guess I'm glad I put off buying an e-reader earlier, but I have to admit I'm still inclined towards the Nook until I hear more user reviews on the new touch Kindles. (I retain my reservations about Kindle refusing to read epubs though.)

Things I've been doing recently aside from job-hunting: crushing on Puck from Glee even though I don't watch the show (Mark Salling is hot, okay, shirtless and also while singing Sweet Caroline); taking small but concrete steps towards moving to DC; getting all sorts of medical-type appointments through with so I can lay to rest my eternal paranoid fears of CANCER, ALWAYS CANCER, YOU WILL DIEEEE; watching assorted shows (MLP:FiM Season 2! H50 Season 2! The end of Khuntoria! Need to catch up with Top Chef!); and reading lots of Agatha Christie and Pterry.

Also, investigating in depth the MBTI personality types, mostly for fun. I am INFJ always and forever, and the type I'm drawn to crushing on are ESFPs (even though the ones I've dated have been more ISTJ/ISTP - but look how those turned out so great). ESFPs probably attract me because they're everything I'm not but wish I could be, but still allow me to feel some sort of human connection to them due to the F. Yes, we have so many feelings~ (Most of my closest friends are Ts. They don't get all this feelings crap. ;;) I don't know that I could do long-term with them, but I have commitment issues anyway!
