My Christmas list

I love Christmas. Not only do we get to celebrate the birth of Christ (who is obviously top man, the rock of my life kind of guy) there is an unabashed show of consumerism.

So, to join in the festivities of the season, here is my Christmas list. Not that I'll get anything of it but hey, a girl can hope for the best, no?

Top of the list is an Ipod. Mmm..mama! Black, 60GB for all my personal music needs and I can back stuff up on it as well. See, practical and useful. And so good-looking..

Followed closely by the Elgato Eye TV. Entertainment on tap. That's what life is all about right?

And my Mac needs includes the ever so beautiful, so sexy Harman Kardon Soundsticks

That would make my digital life complete. For the moment.

Other random things that would make me happy include but of course would never, ever be limited to the following items, in no particular order.

CSI Season 5 Although it's not released in the UK just yet. Hurry up!!
Rob Thomas' album Something to Be I know, I am such a sucker but I love Matchbox 20 and I'm just keeping up my collection.
Nelly's album Sweat/Suit There are some seriously sexy grooving tunes on here.
Kanye West's Late Registration Some more grooving and loving.
Lynne Truss-Talk to the Hand She does it again. Although moving on from punctuation.
CSI Miami Do you get the idea that I like CSI, just a tiny little bit? Not that it's an obsession or anything like that.
Espresso machine Just to complete the set of caffeine producing things that I own.
Jamie Oliver's Flavor Shaker So tacky yet I want to own one. Maybe not?
Panasonic Breadmaker I accidentally threw away the kneading arm of my breadmaker and since this is a complete fantasy in my mind, this would be a nice replacement for my crappy old machine.
The Gimp Oh, this is on here solely for the sake of asking someone to buy me a gimp. ROFL. *to those not in the know, roll on the floor laughing* And it's another accessory for my Powerbook. Because I always need another one.
La Creuset Shop Anything cast iron from here. You know I'm not fussy but a nice casserole pot for these cold winter evenings?
Pressure cooker Starting to feel like a wedding list instead of a wish list yet? Maybe I should add something more student like and less adult.

Insert random anecdote. Was having a chat with a friend the other day and the one thing that pissed us off was that when we fill in forms we no longer check the box that says "18-24", we've moved on to the next one "25-34". How the hell did that happen to us? Getting old!

Wine by the case Or the truck load. Whichever you prefer to splurge on me.

I'm done for now, only because I can't be bothered to think of what else I want. I will invariably add some over-priced,under-used items that I want and therefore think I need.

Life is so tough.

Hello Costco, here I come! I think my whole savings will be spent shopping while I'm at the States.

And yes, check boxes for ages are depressing. ugh.
