Revision as of 14:04, 1 May 2008
Wishlist of Slightly Less DOOOOOOOM than Humanly Possible
Movies
- Chronicles of Narnia
- Gosford Park
- Hero
- The Hudsucker Proxy
- Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle
- The Phantom
- Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3
- Pleasantville
- The Red Violin
- Shaolin Soccer
- this list could go on for several leagues...
TV
- Heroes, Ssn. 2
- Prison Break, Ssn. 3
- (I just have this sad thing for pretty blue eyes. It's sick, really. And tats are suddenly growing on me. Mysterious.)
- Criminal Minds Ssn. 3
- Bones Ssn. 3
- I'm sure there are more....
TV to BitTorrent
- John Doe (2002-2003; 21 episodes)
- (Not yet released on DVD? If ever? May need to Bittorrent.)
- Witchblade (2001-2002; 23 episodes + USAtvMovie?)
- (No DVDs... but at there are talks of a movie in 2009, maybe someday. Couldbe.)
- Standoff (2006-2007; 18 episodes)
- (Fox TV network is full of such bad, bad meanies. First they cancel a show I like (Standoff, John Doe, etc.) THEN they don't even release DVDs of them for the fans they're disappointing. It's just rude... and it's bad business.)
Books
- Sure, it's possibly just Amazon's own shark-jumping, money-grubbing, gadget-geeks' wet-dream of an iPhone-ish type fantasy for bibliophiles like me, but it looks... GOOOOOOOOOD.
- All save for OOTS2: No Cure for the Paladin Blues -- Thanks, Aurora!
- Caldwell, Ian - The Rule of Four
- Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising sequence And did you know they're making a movie? Will be released 10/5/07!
- Gregory Maguire books
- Oxford Companion to Wine
- Anna Wierzbicka's Understanding Cultures through Their Key Words
- Willig, Lauren - The Masque of the Black Tulip and The Deception of the Emerald Ring
- et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!
Games
(Have PC, PS2, and Wii!)
- Black & White II and expansions
- Neverwinter Nights 2
- Star Wars Legos 2
- X-Men Legends 2
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- Justice League Heroes
- Katamari Damacy
- Eye Toy, and Eye Toy: Kinetic Combat
Music
(My tastes? Eclectic is the pretty word for it. Schitzophrenic is another.) (In retrospect, maybe I should just win the lottery, then ask for the winnings in the form of iTunes downloads.)
- Bon Jovi
- Michelle Branch - Hotel Paper
- Michael Buble -
Michael Buble,It's Time, Kings of Swing, w/Sinatra, etc. - The Corrs
- The Cranberries
- Catie Curtis
- Draco and the Malfoys
- Evanescence - Fallen
- Five For Fighting
- Green Day (have got American Idiot)
- Don Henley
- Josie & the Pussycats
- Aimee Mann
- Loreena McKennit - The Mask and Mirror, The Book of Secrets, etc.
- Stacie Orrico
- Royal Crown Revue (already got Mugzy's Move)
- Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (have the self-titled)
- Cherry Poppin Daddies (already have Zoot Suit Riot)
- the list goes on and on and on....
Things
- And while I'm already having Crate and Barrel multiple orgasm, this is most excellent, and if I had room, I would ask it to have my babies: Simone Daybed
- The fabric on it makes you feel like you're laying on skinned teddy-bears. Luxurious, decadent, and delicious.
Rock tumbler and jewelers' chiselsRock tumbler grits and polishes;jewelers' anviland lacquer
- Necessary accoutrements to make mere stones into loveliness domesticated. (Need to find a local place that sells such things as these, or suck up the idea that I am paying the interwebs to ship rocks and dirt. Difficult.)
- The only place I know in the world that makes Rodin replicas in the traditional way. I favor the Fallen Caryatid above all (naturally), but in its absence, I also love the Danaide, Eternal Idol, and Cathedral.
- Update: My mummy is sending me a pair of Thinker (not Stinker) bookends she found at an estate sale. And, of course, I managed to lay hands on a set of Argonauth as well, so I've got some mighty cool things serving to keep books from falling down.
- The only place I know in the world that makes Rodin replicas in the traditional way. I favor the Fallen Caryatid above all (naturally), but in its absence, I also love the Danaide, Eternal Idol, and Cathedral.
- Sound system for the TV, such that things sound pretty as they are; and a central hub/switch for all the crap attached to said TV....
- A decent scanner with which to steal the souls of whatever I can manhandle onto the plate glass.
- Yeah, okay, so I might just possibly be that guy, but I kinda sorta like the iPhone. Yes, I'm a tool. I'll learn to live with it, by the power of tapscreen.
- A Utilikilt Because Vorsaga is possessed of the coolest things, and teaches me to want to get into my neighbor's skirt, covetously.
- 1st Amendment tee from [1]
- A new xtra-small, sturdy Timbuk2 messenger bag because my beloved Target bag is growing holey in a way that has little to do with the divine, and more to do with things falling out of said bag onto the street and getting run over by SUVs.

Music
Ghost of the Robot(James Marsters), Mad Brilliant-Of course, it costs a MILLION dollars, but I would have orgasm-implosion just LISTENING to this album, if the quality is any better than the few live-recording mp3s I currently possess.
