There is only one thing lacking in my life right now: a good chair. My desk chair has been seized by the full-time blogger living in my apartment for the summer, and so until we can get over to Office Max or something, there is only one chair for two people.
Since running Engadget has been deemed more important than my Warcraft addiction, I’ve had to do other things with my time. Here is a list of some of those things:
1. Watching “Sex and the City.” Possibly up to five times a day (Thank you, TiVO!)
2. Watching the entire first season of “Lost” until the wee hours of the morning.
3. Going to dot com events.
4. Trying new delicious restaurants with my girlfriends.
5. Torturing the cat.
6. Reading the Mallorean, Vol. 1 (I think I’m on Book 6 of like… 800).
7. Sleep.
So, if you haven’t seen me on Bonechewer in a while, that’s why. *sigh*

With Ryan in town on Friday (post CTIA), it means I get to go out to eat. Luckily, I was tipped off by Josh at HandleYourBusiness.com to SFGate’s Top 100 Restaurants. Once I honed in on the San Francisco choices (it covers the whole Bay Area), I’m left with 61 top eateries to choose from. I can then sort by noise level, rating, price, and what kind of food they specialize in. Considering my fridge is completely empty*, having a nice meal is going to be a welcome change. I don’t know where I’ve been eating, but I haven’t been to one place on this list!
*except for hot sauces
Some chillis are fierce enough to make your eyes water. Anyone foolhardy enough to eat a whole Dorset Naga would almost certainly require hospital treatment.
I like spicy food. I like spicy food so much that I suffer from severe heartburn and stomach issues. Therefore, I obviously need to try this pepper at some point in my life. Ryan sent me this link to an article about the Dorset Naga chili, also known as the hottest pepper in the world. In fact, it’s TWICE as hot as the once reigning champion, the Red Savina. Yum!
