Listing

I think we all remember, as last year drew to a close we were all writing lists. Like an epidemic. Everyone was writing lists, all I want for Christmas, resolutions for the new year, the best of the 2005 for every medium conceivable and so forth. I too, wrote a list. This is... yeah... my I Must Have This Thing award list, which could be considered a sort of obsessive extension of the regular Christmas list. In no particular order,

  1. A shiny new computer, jammed to the brim with the most cutting-edge technology money can buy. Double OS Windows and Macintosh, insanely expensive peripherals that would make any computer nerd cry, fully immersive surround sound, the casemod that launched a thousand ships.
  2. My own pool table. This is something that should be on everyone's wish lists.
  3. An arcade machine. One of the good ones though, something with full motion detectors.
  4. A massive, wall-mounted iPod with a 60 inch screen. The clickwheel, of course, stays small enough to be manageable.
  5. Comic books. Every existing and future volume in the Ultimate Marvel Universe, as well as the Clone Wars series.
  6. Every next generation console known to man, including but not restricted to, the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Revolution. Also every breakthrough game ever released for Xbox versions 2 though 359.
  7. Clothes. Rooms and rooms of clothes of every imaginable fashion and design, enough for anyone to play supermodel in for months.
  8. A double-storey penthouse to put all that stuff in, where else but the most expensive location in the whole city which would be... what? The Twin Towers skybridge? Sounds like a plan.
  9. Superpowers. Anything from flight to energy redistribution to teleportation, super speed, telepathy, probability manipulation and back again. Maybe reality warping would be the best.
  10. Her. And in retrospect, that's all I really need.
My blog is starting to look like something out of a candy store. Thoughts?
