when i was buying my coat, there was christmas music all around. it’s crazy how much the stores with their muzac can whet your consumerist urges – i don’t spend much time in stores, is the thing. so i’ve been thinking a lot about gifts to give people (and would love your input on what you’d enjoy), and since i’ve been asked, here are some things that i’m interested in.
mmm, things. these are the computery expensive ones. less expensive things are at the bottom of the next list.
- the thing that i would be exceptionally happy about would be a memory upgrade for my macbook – i currently have one gig of ram, and two would make my computer so much happier. that’s $350 in the mac store, but might be found cheaper eleswhere – i haven’t done much research.
- on a similar note, an external hard drive would be delicious.
- speakers and/or a wall-charger for my ipod, i just remembered, would be helpful
as for other things, i’m all about pirates and dolls and dinosaurs. because i’m secretly four years old?
- doll-wise, i’ve been all about blythe dolls for the past few years. based on a big-eyed doll that was sold in 1972 and brought to fame by a photographer using one as her model, they’re now being released by takara, in japan. my favorite is the star dancer, largely because she reminds me of one my favorite friends. i also love the night flower and rosie red encore. one of the things i love most about blythe dolls is the ability to customize them – i’m thinking about giving one new hair – and the most afforable for that is the new prima doll.
- dinosaur-wise, i’m loving a lot of dinosaur-themed things that are for sale on etsy, a list of which can be found here.
- as for pirates, it’s all about archie mcphee, as always. there are things from there linked in the above list as well.
soooo, those are my wishes. they’re random and silly. cubbie works at a bookstore, though, so all the books that i want i can get for cheaper than… most of the world can. music… is expensive. oh! theatre! local stuff is exciting and intriguing, but i have no idea where to start looking.
anyhow, those are the random things that i like. what do you like? leave me a comment! tell me about your favorite things! tell me about how christmas is a christian holiday, rather than a consumerist holiday! tell me anything!
