Christmas List 2005

Or… All the crap I want to get for Christmas this year, greedy selfish loser that I am. (Though technically we are DONE shopping for the kids (just a couple more things) and I’ve gotten Reha’s gift already, so I don’t feel so bad about being so blatantly self-serving here and now. Plus I’m on pain meds and maybe I should be held to a lower standard.)

I know that it’s a bit late and most of you have done all your holiday shopping, but I’ve been a bit busy, what with having my insides turned inside out and all. These are not in any kind of order. Or even plausibility.

1) West Wing Season 5. I’ve never watched this show while it’s been on TV. Between all the kid wrangling and dinner making, it’s pretty much impossible to even get to the room where the TV lives. But I’ve gotten all the previous DVDs. I just like the fantasy aspect of the show where the Democrats know what they are doing. That alone is worth the price of admission.

2) New iPod. 30 gig. Video. My beloved 20 gig JUST died. Though I’m still holding out hope that I can do a complete reformat of the little guy.

3) Long sleeved running shirt. Though now I won’t be able to run for another few weeks thanks to the previously mentioned insides turning out fiasco.

4) Running socks. Specifically, I like the really padded anklet kind.

5) New clutch for the Jetta.

6) Name of a good (and more importantly) CHEAP drywall guy. Though at this point, I haven’t even gone downstairs in a couple of weeks. ugh.

7) Anasazi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I’m on a Sci-Fi kick of late and I’ve really been enjoying reading his stuff. American Gods was terrific.

8) The got root? t-shirt from thinkgeek.com. I’d ask for the “No, I won’t fix your computer” t-shirt, but that’s kind of a part of my job and one day I’d slip up and wear it to work and that just wouldn’t be good.

9) The new Battlestar Galactica. Start me out with the mini series. I’ll just ask for Seasons one and two for my b-day. Yes… I’m a total dweeb. You knew that already, didn’t you? And it’s NOT because I have a small crush on the hot cylon blond chick.

10) The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker. OK, so it’s true. I used to get The New Yorker, but I’d only really read it for the comics.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
