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.)

• Catie Curtis
• Josie & the Pussycats
• Michael Buble - Michael Buble, It's Time, Kings of Swing, w/Sinatra, etc.
• Stacie Orrico
• Don Henley
• Loreena McKennit - The Mask and Mirror, The Book of Secrets, etc.
• Five For Fighting
• Evanescence - Fallen
• Bon Jovi
• The Corrs
• The Cranberries
• Royal Crown Revue (already got Mugzy's Move)
• Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (have the self-titled)
• Cherry Poppin Daddies (already have Zoot Suit Riot)
• Michelle Branch - Hotel Paper
• Aimee Mann
• Green Day (have got American Idiot)
• 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)....
• the list goes on and on and on....

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.
• 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.

• OOTS shirt: First Church of Banjo the Clown, blue/pink, XL Wheeee, Aurora's so nice!!!
• OOTS shirt: Evil, But Cute, baseball jersey, blue, XL Woooo!

• The Pessimist's Mug

• 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!

• Rodin Bronze - the only place I know in the world that makes Rodin replicas in the traditional way. I favor the FallenCaryatid 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.

• 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 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.
