No fair saying world peace. Imaginary greed is good.

A few days off?

Seriously, there is nothing I'm burning to have this year. Just spent a load of money on a new LCD TV (necessity, not luxury) and I'm flat broke.

I wanted an iPod Touch, but Red went even further and got me an iPhone, which I am totally addicted to/obsessed with. I honestly don't feel like I need/deserve much more than that, but if money were no object and people were in the mood to be generous:

- Rock Band 2 for the Wii. Is it even out yet? I'm not sure... but something about singing/playing "Pump It Up," "Tangled Up In Blue" and "Cool For Cats" in a video game appeals to me greatly.

- 1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die. I've posted about this book before. I could afford to buy it for myself, but I've been holding out because it seems like an obvious gift to get for someone with my obsessions.

- Bottle Rocket: Criterion Collection. A new DVD of Wes Anderson's first feature.

- A GPS. My iPhone has directional capabilities but it'd be nice to have something that talks to me. Red's the primary driver in our family (I typically take public transit), but it seems like an essential part of road trips to mysterious parts of Canada and the U.S.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

I want that 1,000 recordings too, but it wasn't in borders. Maybe I'll order it somewhere. But is it a good read? The website pissed me off by lacking any actual extracts. I guess Amazon's 'Looks Inside' feature works.

All I want is my ticket with my boy to Old Trafford for the 29th. A few rows up from the corner near the players' tunnel. Look for me in the crowd on MOTD when a corner is taken. I'm also looking forward to the Debussy CD I ordered myself as I can't wait to listen to Images at bed time.

I love a voucher. Any spend of own cash on CDs and books involves an element of guilt given the endless list of domestic and family things that need spending on or saving for. So vouchers are a delight. My parents have sent me one as the post from the Channel Islands has got insanely expensive, so I'm all excited.

I've learned to settle for an old man who, once in a very great while, by sheer blind luck, understands me. :lol:

and speaking of GPS thingies, I want this

I want this -

It is a potato peeler shaped to look like a bird. Cute and functional! The stainless steel blade peels vegetables and the pointed beak removes potato eyes.

...and Christina Hendrix to use it.

I mean, she's already in the kitchen, it would be no bother to her - no , really...........

Other than that, let's see - I've got a few categories:

Because I'm domestic:
- A yogurt maker. Blue and I like making stuff from scratch - and we buy so much yogurt I think we'd make good use out of it.
- A home canning kit. Yeah that's right. We've made jam a few times with our breadmaker - so damn tasty. I'd love to make larger batches and properly preserve it so we can enjoy it year round. There ore other things I'd like to try too - like pickles!

Because I'm far too girly sometimes:
- I'd love some jewelry. Nothing fancy, just some good everyday jewelry. I tend to cycle through the same two pairs of earrings, and I'd like to mix it up a bit.

Because I'm also a bit of a nerd:
- A new battery for my MacBook Pro. Not the most exciting gift, perhaps - but it's old, and the charge barely lasts a half hour these days. Sure, a new battery is only $100 or so - but I've been trying to be financially responsible... and as it's not a necessity that my laptop not be plugged in, so I haven't gotten one.
- Like Blue, I'm also really wanting a GPS. I think it would really come in handy - especially if it had a traffic tracker.
- A bluetooth earpiece for my phone. I have an old one, but it never worked particularly well and the charger has vanished. I drive enough it would be handy to be able to more safely make calls from behind the wheel.

And yeah, I also want an iPhone. But that ain't happening anytime soon - so for now I just get to play with Blue's :)

$15,800 used to be quite a good deal for a car like that...

Looks gorgeous. Imagine Christina Hendricks enveloping you in her giant Knoxville knockers in that little baby!

yeah, all this math is getting a little compicated. I just need money for the car. I won't have a problem with Christina. You see, I bought this album a few years ago and it really works!

I would have sex with all of those girls in the following order - top, middle centre, left centre, right centre and left bottom if she brightened up a bit - looks like she could use a few drinks to get her going.

TMI?

what about the "good girl" on the bottom right, the one attempting to channel susan st james and flowers or a head of cauliflower or whatever that is? actually the one on the center right is "somebody", but i can't think who. the knoxville girl you would just end up working for i imagine. as would you the one in the middle, but then that would be ok.
