Booklist Online
ALA, the American Library Association, finally put Booklist online. So far, I'm not impressed.
I'll have to look at it more carefully, but looks and feels like nothing more than a teaser. I'd love to subscribe to the print version, but I can't afford $ 295.00 for a one a year subscription. That's why I was so excited to see it was going to be available online.
I wonder why they feel it's necessary to include a blog. It's written by Keir Graff.
Here's a link to the official blog: http://www.booklistonline.com/blog/

Ho-hum.

Complaint Letters
Instead of complaining to friends about things, I'm going to start writing letters.
So far, I've written to Senators Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Schumer. I received decent replies within two days from both of their offices. Schumer's staff sent the same form letter twice.
I was going to write to Rep. James Walsh with lots of complaints, but his record at Vote Smart isn't that terribly bad. He does have a scary stand on abortion, however. He thinks they should only be legal if the life of the mother is in danger. He probably carried that over from Catechism days.
I wrote to Kohler about their lousy Staccato sink. Model K-3361-3. It's too deep, the edge in the back is too small, the bottom of the sink is completely flat. It's such a dumb sink. I wonder if there were any women on the design team. I am not going to stand on a stool to use it. Maybe some high wedgie shoes would work.
Next was Jessica McClintock to complain about the lack of sleeves on wedding dresses. You cannot find a wedding dress with a sleeve. They have a couple in the Women's sizes. Not every bride wants to have a strapless, or halter gown. David's Bridal doesn't have any contact or feedback form. Figures. Alfred Angelo has one, and it's pretty. I'll have to write and tell them.
