Ok, it’s that time of year that family and such will be asking me for wish list for Christmas… (it’s time to just update this for the sake of having it) so I’m taking a different approach. This is where I’m going to post stuff that I’d like… I’m definitely not looking for everything here… and some of the stuff are things I’m just as likely to pick up for myself, but there are some things here that I’ve come across and thought were kewl, and might not necessarily get for myself. Isn’t that what makes for a good gift anyways?
I’m sure my mother will think this is odd… actually most of my family probably will, but .. well… consider the source.
DVDs are always good too… I have a long list of those… here’s a bit of a recent update to the list;Around the World in 80 days - Jackie Chan version, Backdraft, Batman Returns, Blade Trinity, Blues Brothers, Chronicles of Narnia, Daredevil - the directors cut, Harry Potter (any of them), Hidalgo, Ice Age 1 & 2, Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer, Good Eats (FoodTV series), The Incredibles, Inside Man, Jet Li The One, King Arthur, King Kong (1930’s and new one), Kingdom of Heaven, Lucky Number Slevin, Mask Of Zorro, The Medallion, The Myth - Jackie Chan, National Treasure, Predator, Reign of Fire, Rush Hour 3, Sahara, Say Anything, Shrek 2 & 3, Sin City, Sky Captain & the World of Tommorow, Spider-Man 3, Star Wars Episode 4-6, Tears of the Sun - directors cut, Tomb Raider 1, Toy Story 1 & 2, Transformers, Troy, Tuxedo, V 2 - the mini series, We Were Soldiers
And since I have so many DVDs, I’m always looking for a way to store them. I had almost four bookshelves full of them in the cases. I’ve started using Memorex CD&DVD Keepers - they are clear plastic sleeves, I found them in a 100 pack for about $6 at Walmart. I could use another box or two.
Cooking stuff is always good too.
I was over at Kitchen Window, in Calhoun Square the other day and saw a couple items I wouldn’t mind adding to my kitchen. The first is a silicone, collapsible colander. They have it in red on their website. Color isn’t a huge deal, but I think Blue would be better.
A couple other little kitchen stuffs… silicone stacking measuring cup set - I have one from Cub Foods of all place, and would like another … cause it seems like I always need more than one of the same size for some recipes. Also another set of silicone baking cups would be nice - besides baking cups they also make great ‘pinch cups’ while cooking. Target had a set of red and green ones last Christmas time if you want to match that up. I thought I had a silicon bundt pan, but I can’t find it… so a new one would be nice.
I need a nice frame for a 24″x34″ print that I have… it’s a print of dalmatians. Black metal would probably be nice, flat - not shiney, or dark wood since most everything else I have is wood…
I have a few different hard drives laying around that I use for extra storage… but I’d like to set them up a bit better than the cable I currently use. geeks.com has one that’s what I need… 3.5″ IDE box, with a power switch. One or two would be nice.
I’ve toyed around a bit with PHP and MySQL - which to most of you that know me, means slightly more than nothing. Suffice to say, I want/need to learn more. I found out about a book that might be nice to have. Head First SQL - it’s about $25 on Amazon.
