A Christmas tradition

My annual Christmas wish list...

When in doubt this year, money is always good. Kitchen renovations will break us:

Most wanted item... Guitar hero world tour... the band version, cause what's a world tour without drums?

New Michael Chabon book "Maps and Legends"

Itunes gift certs

Pajama pants like these

Ae gift certs for new jeans

Scarves and hats... nice ones...

Ipod docking station, a small one for work, in this genre

A travel ipod dock in this genre

Massage gift cert

Tennis lessons... preferably given by him, but that might be asking too much

New skates

New new balances

World peace... or a non-Conservative majority government... but I think those two are interchangeable.

Best Canadian joke ever. EVER!

I love the crazy Canadian jokes on HIMYM.

Robin: “Blue line” is kissing, “red line” is getting naked and I think “in the crease” pretty much speaks for itself. After that, my relationship with my dad pretty much went north. I moved in with my mom, grew my hair out and became a Canadian pop star; you know, normal stuff.

Of course I also feel a particular attachment to this quote from Barney (substituting "dudes" of course):

Speaking of who he wants to avoid running into:

“People of the chicks-I-banged persuasion.”

Streetcar tracks 1, Robert 0

Not the best picture, but it gives you the gist.

While riding my bike home in the early am from nuit blanche this past weekend, I had a little accident.

I was motoring along quite quickly, due to the cold, and a group of drunk revelers stumbled in front of me. I swerved to dodge them and got my bike tire caught in the streetcar track. Head first over the handle bars, face directly into the sidewalk.

All I can say is ouch. And that it looks worse than it feels.

At least the rest of the night was awesome.

Sometimes my job is just not right

Turn the page in some disclosure today to read:

Q: Can you tell me?

A: He licked my pee pee.

Q: He licked your pee pee?

A: And he showed his dickie to me. I'll tell Teddy what happened next (whispers to Teddy Bear. Inaudible).

Q: His dickie was long?

A: Yes.


GROSS! And that feeling of being punched in the gut. I need to take a shower just reading that.

People should just know better

Sometimes people should just know better.

It only takes one action to show you just how selfish and incredibly thoughtless someone can be. And when you literally least expect it.

I guess I was asking for too much: expected too much. So it shouldn't be surprising that I was disappointed. But it still is.

One more push toward pessimism I guess. And an opinion of people that I don't know I will be able to come back from. Not a loss of trust exactly, just a fundamental change in a relationship that is unavoidable when your opinion of someone drops so drastically.

Further additions to the wish list

I have been trying to keep from putting it on the list, but I cannot fight it any longer. I really, really, really want a Nintendo Wii. Although Ian seems to feel it will destroy my life, I long for one. I LONG FOR IT.

Also, a new blackberry. The pearl. From Telus. As I am a Telus type. This one. In silver. It is pretty.

Ok, and that's it.

Dear god, I am materialistic.

Further Christmas wishes

I thought of some more things to add to the Christmas list, so I am adding them as they come to mind.

I want books two and three in the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman (the Subtle Knife and the Amber Spyglass).

Some placemats for the dining room table. Definitely want something funky (but not too funky). I kind of want leather ones, or faux leather. Like Liang's.

A cool new set of dishes... open to a variety, but something like these or these. At least 8 (tee hee).
