my two front teeth. and a Moped.
Wanna get this in under the radar. Big changes are indeed afoot around these parts, but while it's still My Personal Blog Where I Get To Write About What I Damn Well Want, I might as well let everyone know...
WHAT I WANT FOR XMAS!
--"The Office", a very funny BBC comedy, is now available on DVD. I'd like it, because British people are funny.
--Stewart O'Nan and some underground, cult horror writer named Stephen King or someone got together and wrote a book called "Faithful" about the 2004 Red Sox season. Red is the color of Santa's suit, and Jesus was born on Christmas and God's favorite team is the Red Sox. I know this because the Hebrews are God's chosen people and, in our own way, Red Sox fans have had to put up with a lot of crap too. I'm not saying we've had it as bad, I'm just.. you know what I'm saying. Also, I know you guys don't celebrate Christmas. But, ya know, Happy Hanukah. Okay, this is awkward. Moving on...
--I can always use guitar strings, because I break them a lot. I can play "Silent Night" on guitar, although I play it in a slower, 4/4 time than it's written. "Silent Night" was the first carol ever writen specifically for the guitar, and that happened because the pipes on the church organ froze on one particularly cold Christmas Eve in Stuttgart or Wikkelburgel or someplace German.
--The Pixies and Something Corporate, two awesome bands, just came out with live concert DVDs I do not have. Something Corporate once wrote a song called "Forget December" about not having a very good Christmas, and The Pixies once wrote a song called "Monkey Gone To Heaven" about... well, I'm not quite sure what it's about. But it rocks.
--I actually do not own "Braveheart," and I really like that movie. It's about Scotland, and I think the Scottish Presbyterians once banned Christmas. If not, it sounds like the sort of thing they'd do.
--We need an Internet Router, or some such thing, in the apartment so that I don't have to keep going downstairs to unplug the cable modem after my roommate uses his laptop if I want to log on. That way I can get all my Christmas shopping done through Amazon.Com and eBay and stuff for next year.
--XBox games I'm sure that St. Nicholas would approve of include: Halo 2, Sonic Heroes, Tony Hawk Underground (1 & 2), and Kill Everything In Sight With A Big Gun. Okay, I made that last one up because my Mom is reading.
--The book "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke looks pretty good. I'm also the only person in the country who hasn't read "The Da Vinci Code." There's also a huge (and hugely expensive) coffee table book called "The Pythons" about, hey, Monty Python. Honestly, don't feel like you have to shell out that much cash for the thing. I just like Monty Python. (And, come to think of it, I don't own any of the movies either.) Someone else who would appreciate Monty Python is no doubt St. Vitus, the patron saint of comedians, whose feast day is a mere 20 days after Christmas.
...aaaand that's the sort of thing I'll be expecting this year from each of you. Please don't feel like you have to shell out large amounts of cash for me. After all, that's why they invented Visa.
