Wishlist of Slightly Less DOOOOOOOM than Humanly Possible
Updated: --Caryatid 12:29, 7 December 2010 (EST)
Amazon Wishlist - Zoomily Updated 12/7/10, but I'm sure lots of stupid remains -- like RB3 instruments but I don't have RB3, nor have I 'beat' RB2 yet. Dur. Amazon list contains Things and Movies and VGames and Books..., so it properly fits in any category below.
[Birthday: 07-03-1980]
Things
- Really need to replace my deceasified Roomba pal. A) for anti-mouse in the house patrolling; B) so Diva has someone to play soccer with while she watches the World Cup.
- 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.
*Destiny, thy name is Mikasa: Summer Morning Elegance Wispy Floral dish ware
- Yeah, I still fancy these, but free-please-take dishes have something extra going for them: free. I loves me some free!
Rock tumbler and jewelers' chiselsRock tumbler grits and polishes;jewelers' anviland lacquer
- Necessary accouterments 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.
- Eee Christmas prezzie of Excellence!
- A digital frame, with decent memory, resolution, size, and price... I swear they exist. I hope.
- 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]
- John Galt gear -- is there anything on this site I don't want??
- ; tee - Back says: "The semicolon is not used enough; the comma is used too often." YES. (And now I am a card carrying member of the Semicolon Appreciation Society.) ((Also.))
- WWJD? tee -- It's true: Joss Whedon IS my master.

Games
(Have PC, PS2, and Wii!)
*Fable 2-3; Assassin's Creed, etc. would appear on this wishlist, but I think that calls for an X-Box or at least replacing my laptop, so I'll have to work on that first. But then, consider them wished.
- Black & White II and expansions
- Neverwinter Nights 2
- X-Men Legends 2
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- Justice League Heroes
- Katamari Damacy
- Lego Rock Band, Wii

- Paper Mario & Mario Galaxy
- Eye Toy, and Eye Toy: Kinetic Combat (Seems obsolete now; no time for research....)
- DDR(?)
Tech-Impaired Support
- NAS with crappe-tonnes of memory and the ability to parasite my existing external hard-drives. Yes, I know nothing about them beyond this, but for my ignorance: 'Gu to the rescue!
Wai! My Wii is wonked? First, to test on cables other than mine; thence to stage 2 of testing. SCIENCE!
An emulator that will enable be to play my beloved Dungeon Keeper 2. If I don't find a way to whip my imps soon, I may just take a bullwhip to innocent passers-by on the sidewalk.
- Say what you will of Windows7; with a few tweaks and the rare crash, I am able again to whip it, whip it good.
Movies
- ...checking shelf at home...
TV
- I'm sure there are more....
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.

Music
(My tastes? Eclectic is the pretty word for it. Schizophrenic is another.) (In retrospect, maybe I should just win the lottery, then ask for the winnings in the form of iTunes downloads.)
- the list goes on and on and on....
WISHIN MISSIONS ACCOMPLISHT

Big FishChicagoSpaceballsStardustWhat Dreams May ComeBride and Prejudice(Woot! Bollywood plus the Austenesque PLUS pretty saris and the arbitrary leaping about in song and dance?

Crimson & Black, Metallic Rose, Coral Pink, Gold ... all are so lovely, and they sing my name in their siren song! Can you hear it? CAN YOU??

Legos Star Wars 2 (Complete)
- <3<3 Zahnnie!!
Legos Indiana Jones
- Yeah, I did it. (hangs head in shame) But on PS2. Am I the only one in hand-spastic agony using the Wii-nunchuck for more than a half hour? DING-DONG, Ergonomics calling!
Lego Batman -- comes out Sept. 23rd!! eee.
- Target is my Crack-Daddy.
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. They have a fantastic sound, entirely unique to them, but oddly familiar and comfortable as your favorite teddy bear.
- Thank the GODS for the Russian knockoff of iTunes Store!!! Cost a gagillion rubles for the mp3s of this album, but that translated to $1.48 (with a heinous 4 cent international purchase surcharge)....
Things
Sutter Bar Cabinet, $999
- Rykilde and I have succeeded in the procurement of a lovely bar/buffet in which to store our many wine, tea, and coffee accoutrements. At least, the picture on the box looks lovely, tho I've not yet made room sufficient to assemble it in manly fashion using only my wang and some duct tape. Or maybe I'll follow the directions and resist the urge to drill things.
OOTS shirt: First Church of Banjo the Clown, blue/pink, XLWheeee, Aurora's so nice!!!OOTS shirt: Evil, But Cute, baseball jersey, blue, XLWoooo!
The Pessimist's MugThank you, Vorsaga!
Jewelers' awl;jewelers' caliper;jewelers' needle files, set of 12, Item No: 214-FNC12
A nice, basic china set for espresso. I have 4 demitasse spoons already. (Don't ask.)Huzzah for Bloodbath & Beyond!
A modest, tiny printer that plays nicely with Jabba The Laptop.Or maybe one of those kickass ones with a scanner built in. 'Cause the only thing better than photocopying bits of yourself, is scanning them, for more rapid delivery. Hip-hip-hurrah for Zahnnie and Chadius!
Blingy, shiny, Pyramid Collection: Welsh Tree of Life Ring to match my most beloved pendant.
- Cleverly ordered the wrong size when my bossy-boss glared at my workplace shoppery. Trembling impatiently for replacement to arrive.
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.Thanks, Miss Nick!
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.
- Alright; I'm gonna do it. My existing contract with Verizon (love the network, hate the phones) runs out on 7/8/09 -- I take that numerical coincidence in combination with proximity to my birthday, as excuse to self-gift myself hard, right in the pants, with an iPhone 3GS. It is my destiny.
Leanings toward Learnings
- BCAE - Wines of Italy!! <3<3=Zahnnie
