Annual Birthday Greed List
My father has asked what I want for my birthday. Of course, he couldn't be bothered to tell us what HE wanted for his birthday. I can't blame him; I actually had trouble thinking of much at first, but since I have a mostly accurate list from last year, I can do this.
CDs (Used fine or even preferred)
How about the CDs for the songs from the songbook that I don't already have?
The Aquabats - The Fury of the Aquabats ( Red Sweater)
OMPS - When Harry Met Sally ( It Had to be You)
Harry Chapin - Legends of the Lost & Found ( Corey's Coming)
Plus some other favorites:
David Byrne & St. Vincent - Love This Giant
Norah Jones - Little Broken Hearts
David Byrne & Fatboy Slim - Here Lies Love
Operation Ivy - Energy
The Mekons - Rock & Roll
Max Raabe & the Palast Orchestra - Heute Nacht Oder Nie
Neil Young - Freedom
The Magnetic Fields - I
Clothes
- An Oakland Athletics Jersey. Any color. Maybe even the crazy yellow alternates from this year. Or the much cheaper 1989 Rickey Henderson World Series jersey. Actually, buying these from MLB is asking to be fleeced.
- A US Olympic Hockey Team Jersey, 1980 Miracle on Ice edition (white). #9 Neal Broten? Or generic.
Bike Stuff
- A gift certificate for Spin so I can get some gear. I'm not sure what that gear would be, exactly, but maybe pedal clips, maybe better handle bar grips so they don't spin, perhaps a light for my backpack, perhaps some kind of reflective vest that fits over my backpack, not sure. There's nothing I have to have, but a bunch that might be nice.
Kitchen Stuff
- I really don't need much. Maybe a rolling pin, or a funnel, since I keep thinking "I could use one of those". I guess I could use dishes, but I don't actually care.
Random
- A print of Orpheus by Odilon Redon suitable for framing, or maybe even framed already!
- Thieves & Kings #6
- Gift certificates to local eateries from my updated wish list.
Of course, what I really need:
- Someone to actually figure out what cell phone I should get, while simultaneously killing my landline and finding me cheaper internet to replace my DSL.
- Someone to do the projects I haven't had time to do yet, like going through crap and getting rid of it.
- Etc.
