Be sure to take a look at my basement junk list!
Some time in the past, I had a long paragraph detailing the difference between what I want and what I need. That philosophical paragraph got deleted somehow, and I don't see myself re-writing all that. Basically this is a list of things that I'd like to have. I originally put this together back in 2005/2006 because people always ask me what I want for Christmas/Birthday/Wednesday. With this, I could simply either point them to my site or print it out for them. I would just update this whenever a thought popped into my mind.
I am fairly close to giving up on this list. I've long ago gotten what I need, and I want less each year. I'm actually in a state where I want to reduce the number of things I own, reversing the influx of household items. Some days I want to just go through my basement, set aside any photos/momentos, and toss everything else. The biggest things stopping me is that I have no place to "toss everything" unless I rent a dumpster.
This Christmas, I don't want anything. If you feel the need to get me something, I have a few useful oddities listed below and a collection of books wishlisted on Amazon below that. Otherwise, the gift of money (or a gift card) is always useful. People that know me know I 'm a goofy guy, so goofy gifts are a safe bet as well.
- Stuff on Amazon.com
- Queen sized "Indulgence Luxury Blanket" (from Robin's list)
- Digital Picture Frame
- Shopping Cart (that I can push to the grocery store and back)
- Stainless Steel Pizza Pan (most common one is Norpro's 16" pan)
- Smallville Season8
- Angel Seasons 1-5
- Buffy Seasons 1-5; 7
- Jeans (34×34) Rustler Carpenter pants (and I bought 2 of the Levi's carpenters that look the same and did not like them)
- socks (white or grey boot socks)
- Board games / card games
- "Ginormous" street map of PA, MD, WV, or VA (for hanging on a wall)
- Indoor "welcome mat/rug"
- Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- Clock for living room (night visible)
- Lockable wall-mounted key holder
