- A digital frame, with decent memory, resolution, size, and price... I swear they exist. I hope.

Leanings toward Learnings
WISHIN MISSIONS ACCOMPLISHT
Movies
Big FishChicagoSpaceballsStardustWhat Dreams May ComeBride and Prejudice(Woot! Bollywood plus the Austenesque PLUS pretty saris and the arbitrary leaping about in song and dance? Is there any more perfect perfection under the stars?)Yeehah for Target impulse buys!Mansfield Parkwoooo!*Chronicles of Narnia, 2eeee! thank you, Aurora!
TV
Pretender
- (Yes, it's all your fault. you know who you are.) Yay for Amazon wishlist sales!
TV to BitTorrent
Books
- Thanks Ratri and 'Gu! This is HUGE and FABU!
- And did you know they're making a movie? Will be released 10/5/07!
- UPDATE: Said movie? Blew goats sideways. Sigh.
- And did you know they're making a movie? Will be released 10/5/07!
Games
- OHH OOH OOOHHH! A Haunted Christmas prezzie of MASSIVELY AWESOME proportions!!! Thank you, Utter Chaos!
- Wii Fit! (Droooooool.)
- eee. <3 it.
Wii Rock Band2 after they get their butts around to downloadable content. I can wait. I WILL WAIT!
- heart heart heart Sir Ardonite. Roomie is best. <3 it.
- Wintereenmas 2008 has taught me a secret and forbidden fantasy, for my fingers to do a new lambada of love with a stylus and a Sim, a mysteriously magical mathematics where <3 + :) = DS. 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??
- (I have GOT to stop windows-shopping for DS games; the heart swells with avaricious lusts!) ((Update: Am decided, this is for me.))
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!
Leanings toward Learnings
- BCAE - Wines of Italy!! <3<3=Zahnnie
