I very much
envy everyone but me during the holiday season. A couple of days ago I
wondered into Borders and thought to myself: Man! I'm way easy to shop
for! I like so much stuff! I wish everyone else were as easy as me!
So anyway,
I look forward to receiving a lot of good stuff from you. Here are a few
suggestions to get you started.
| Apparel: |
Anything black
or grey is pretty cool.
I could always
use t-shirts. I prefer shirts that don't say anything on
them, but if you're a girl what I want you to do is go and buy one
of those t-shirts that say "Chicks dig pale scrawny guys"
and then WEAR IT YOURSELF.
I really love
socks. Not plain ones. Lots of stripes. Maybe some thigh
highs. My dress socks are getting holy. Too holy for church even.
Drag
is sorta me, but I actually don't own too many skirts or very much
make-up
I'm running
out of shoelaces. But they have to be cool.
No fur
or leather please.

| Reading
Material: |
I love literature
— especially literature with pictures. Right now I'm really
into the works of Bill Amend.
Also if you
can find some old stuff by Charles Schultz — man, that
guy knows his theology.
Comic books
are good things. Chris Clairmont-era X-MEN is genius scripting.
I'm huge into
coffee table books. If it has to do with movies, comics,
art or classical history, I'm all over it.
Something gross
and/or creepy.
If there is
a pretty good book without pictures, don't think you shouldn't
get it.

| Music: |
For about ten
years I've been meaning to buy Bob Marley - Legend.
I need some
music to listen to on Sundays. Some quiet hymns would be ok, but
I'd really love some classical stuff.
If there is
something that you find that might look like it would fit into Halloween,
then buy it for me.
Lately I've
been liking stuff by The White Stripes, Queens of the
Stone Age, Coldplay, The Hives and The Vines.
There is also some great new stuff by The Human League as
well as Simple Minds. It would be sort of cool to own the
new Nirvana greatest hits CD.
It's kind of
hard to find in this country, but they have Cowboy Bebop
music on CD.
If it's from
80s England with synthesisers, then it's totally fabulous.
Also, I really
like vinyl. The album covers are a lot bigger.

| Video: |
There is a six-disc
collection of Cowboy Bebop that would just be divine.
Anything with
robots or ninjas is pretty cool.
I dig most cartoons
except for Scooby-Doo.
Something dark
and/or macabre.
I never turn
down Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Blank tapes.
|
| Food: |
Chinese,
Japanese and Thai.
Cheeseballs
and Oreos are cool.
NO NOG.
|
| Calendars: |
I
really like calendars. I seriously buy like five a year. |
See how
easy it is? These are all just examples, but when I walked into Borders
I saw a few things that I absolutely would love to have:
1. The Melancholy
Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories - Tim Burton (book)
2. A Peanuts Christmas
- Charles Schultz (book)
3. The Matrix and
Philosophy - Edited by William Irwin (book)
4. Movie Posters (calendar)
5. Shag Party (calendar)
If you want
to put your list up, just send me a quick email.
