on one hand, i like the idea behind tags a great deal; they appeal to my inner librarian's need to catalogue everything in my life. on the other hand, i think that the implementation is kind of shitty. i want to be able to go to someone's userinfo page and view their tags like i can view their memories, and right now, unless someone's gone and set up a nice way to view their tags, you can't see them. what's the point, then, you know?
and for another thing, i hate hate hate the way they display on my journal page. in component, at least (i can't speak for any other s2 styles), you can edit, say, your current music and mood verbage: "set text_meta_music = "blahblahblahwhateveryouwantittosay". i want to be able to edit my tags verbage, so i can make it say what i want and make my journal look like i want. and i can't, or i haven't figured out how i can yet, and i hate that.
regardless, i'm going to be using them - not as a replacement for memories, but as a supplement. for example, i have a memories category for top five lists - but with tags, i can tag music top fives and book top fives and movie top fives differently, and that's pretty cool.
still. for all i can customize the hell out of livejournal otherwise, i'd like to be able to do it with tags, too.
blah blah blah fishcakes, i don't want to be in the office it's too hot out i hate everything and everyone crank grump snarl.
now that's out of the way, top five. top five things you'd rather be doing right now. simple enough, eh? let's live in a fantasy world for a while, where you can be anywhere and do anything at all you want. i could use some happy imaginings.
my list:1. sleeping. i guarantee you, no matter what i am doing, ever, unless it is fucking, i would rather be sleeping. i would sleep fourteen hours a day if i could. right now i would like to be in my bed, with the airconditioner humming happily, sleeping that dreamy late-morning sleep where the sun comes in the window a little and you're perfectly happy in not having to be anywhere at all.
2. eating myself stupid at the taste of chicago. because what's not to like about good food + being outside + fantastic weather + downtown chicago? NOTHING, that's what. (except for the tourists.)
3. drinking absinthe in the gypsy bar in cesky krumlov, czech republic. because for one: absinthe and for two: southern czech republic and for three: gypsy bar! with house band! i had dinner here during the ill-fated trip to the czech republic wherein i barfed all over famous historical sites, and it was the first night i wasn't sick and it remains a fantastic memory.
4. sitting on the porch of my parents' beach house, reading and drinking iced tea. preferably reading something trashy and compelling. like john grisham.
5. sitting in the three penny movie theater in chicago, watching something laughably bad and drinking vodka lemon thingies. there is no bad in a movie theater that serves booze. especially when it's vodka + lemonade sort of booze.
what about you? what would you rather be doing right now? and it better not be working!
hey, have i mentioned recently that keira is really fucking hot?
