Christmas lists!

anticipation · 11-27-2009, 11:06 AM

With Christmas getting closer with each passing day, I thought it'd be fun if we shared what we're hoping to receive from Old Saint Nick this year. Although Christmas is my favorite holiday, it's always difficult for me to come up with a wishlist to give to my family. Problem is I don't really want or need anything, so I usually just end up with a bunch of assorted things that people think I would like (which, sadly, I usually don't). But this year I've redoubled my efforts to find something that I would want/appreciate/use.

So far I've come up with:
Seven Samurai
Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again by Frank Miller
Water Margin by Shi Nai'an

I hope I get this, or at least this would get released by Christmas:

or any box-set, that always makes me happy.

Edit: Plus some Sennheiser headphones should be grand.
Edit 2: (I'm thinking of getting some Grados now)

Exact same thoughts here. I've reached a point where I don't feel like I need anything- so I tell people not to get me stuff. Then, that results in a bunch of stuff that... doesn't fit my style I guess? Here's a list I was able to throw together:

-San Jose Sharks tickets
-Case of beer: Lagunitas Brown Shuga'
-Movies: Inglorious Bastards
-Albums: Blakroc, Drummer, The Books, Jessica Lea Mayfield
-Books: "Freight Train Graffiti", "London Street Art Anthology", "Open: An Autobiography" (Andre Agassi)
-Nude Coffee Table Book (not sure which one will be best though): "Looker", "The Big Book of Boobs", "Women of All Sorts", "My Nude", other?? I don't know.

Money

I'm up in Vancouver for two weeks, if people can give me money so I can actually do things I'd be forever grateful.

pourmeanother · 11-27-2009, 01:44 PM

I also asked for money, but that didn't go over so well.

NumberNineDream · 11-27-2009, 01:49 PM

I'm sure I'm getting money, that's the deal I've made with my parents 10 years ago, so we can stop the disappointing gifts.

The only gift trade is between me and my brother.

Lucky! Have fun up there.

Main thing I'm wanting for Christmas is a 2nd 1TB external drive, for backup purposes.

Yeah it's pretty cool, I'll be staying at my buddy's place for awhile then my dad and step mom are going out of town from the 25th to the 2nd so I'll be looking after their apartment. Nice yuppie style apartment stocked with food, laundry, and Internet so I won't have to go to a coffee shop or anything.
