I wore my ugly glasses to work today. By ugly glasses, I mean my only pair of glasses. These are the kind of glasses some kid in a third-world country would receive from a Barnes and Noble �donate your old glasses� drive. Don't look at me.
In response to Greedyloo's Emiloo's request, I'm posting my, much shorter, Christmas list:
MP3 Player
For the longest time, my PDA has served as my MP3 player, however, for the gym, it's simply too fragile. It takes very little to crack a PDA screen, and with as much time as I've spent in the gym lately, it's time to take the plunge. After reading a million reviews, I have decided on the Samsung YPT5V. It's dainty enough to wear around my neck or on my charm bracelet.
StrongBad DVDs (roughly 38.00 after shipping)
There is a large underground following of Strongbad. While at school, my Real-Time 3D teacher introduced us to this character... I fell in love. If you've never been to homestarrunner.com, please go and check out the "StrongBad emails" (You'll need audio). I suggest starting with some of the earlier episodes, rather than the new. It takes watching a few episodes to get the humor. Anyway, they have the first 100 emails/episodes on DVD now.
Mystery Science Theater Set 1 (roughly 52.00 after shipping)
These are always good for a lonely Saturday night, or as background for drinks and couch-side conversation with friends.
Mystery Science Theater Set 2 (roughly 52.00 after shipping)
Pottery Barn Gift Certificate (Any amount -- I need new glassware)
My glassware is all 'etched' (a term I learned from a Cascade commercial), and it needsa replacin'.
Bluetooth Folding Keyboard (roughly 135.00 after shipping)
For the unaware, I'm a PDA/Gadget junkie. This would allow me to more easily compose emails, diary entries or instant message while away from my computer. Geeeeek.
One last thing (roughly a 12 pack of beer)
One of the more-difficult-to-acquire items, no doubt, but I've been very good this year.
And I was kidding about the charm bracelet.
