All I want for Christmas!
11.30.06 (12:35 pm)   [edit]
I really hope that I make it on Santa's "good" list this year, despite being extremely naughty, particularly this summer. Other than my summer slide, I've been really good. I've flossed, folded my clothes before putting them away, vacuumed the lampshades, donated blood 3 times, donated cash to the local police department (along with offers to hold an officer's "gun"), I cut back on my cholesterol, started eating breakfast again, stopped eating beef and I donated a sad set of 4 shiny hubcaps to a ... convenience store clerk, indirectly, just to name a few things. Oh, I almost forgot, I don't say "fuck" as much. I've replaced it with the more pleasant sounding "frak", courtesy of Battlestar Galactica.

So really, I've been very very good this year and deserve a stocking loaded with anything but coal. Well, may be one or two lumps, but no donkey doo this year, okay?

Anyway, without further chatty-chat, my wishlist for Spendover:

DVDs
1. 24 - Season 5
I already own Season 1 through 4, so this is sort of an annual thing for me.
2. Battlestar Galactica - 2003 Miniseries, and Season 1
It's quite possibly the most awesome show on television. I actually love it more than Veronica Mars (see Misc. below), which is saying alot.
3. House - Season 1
I asked for this last year but didn't get it. So, just like last year's education tax credit, I'm rolling it over for 2006.
4. An Inconvenient Truth
Unlike the writers of South Park, I do believe the former Vice President has something important to say with this wonderfully made documentary.

CDs
1. Greatest Hits - Red Hot Chili Peppers
2. Gold Medal - Donnas
3. Kingdom Come - Jay-Z
4. In the Clear - Ivy

Books
1. Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters by Dick Winters and Cole C. Kingseed
2. Dear John by Nicholas Sparks

Misc.
1. A Fourth Season of Veronica Mars
It's looking less and less likely that Veronica and the gang will be returning next year. If this is the last season, they better make it the BEST EVER.
2. A moment under the mistletoe with Greg Foster. Who? I know, I've never mentioned him before. Just trust me, he's really cute AND he can fix my PC.

Nowhere on my list will you find requests for Nintendo Wii or PlayStation 3, because I think it is a crime to ask a parent to fork over the monthly salary of the average American household for a video game console that will become obsolete in less than 3 years. It's just plain wrong, especially when you think of what other things the money could be spent on. Teach your kids to donate to the Salvation Army, Red Cross, World Wildlife Fund or Food for the Poor. Don't teach them the values of high mass consumerism. I would never think of asking my parents to spend that kind of money on me for Christmas. Never. Now, if you're an adult and you can afford to fork over that kind of cash for yourself, good for you. I just hope you're not being cheap to the rest of the world around you just so you can afford it.

I've finished Lost S1&S2, so will now move on to Galactica. I was told today by PJF that Galactica was written by one of the guys from DS:9 (which is, to me, the finest example of Star Trek with the best writing/plot). Now, I'm stoked. :o)

I guarantee, you are going to love it!! LOVE BSG!! Oh, and DS9 was the best ST for me. Loved it more than TNG. It's Olmos too good to be true.

Guess who has been watching reruns of Buck Rogers on Space? Man, that show was so stupid. Arnold as President? No, not that Arnold.

"along with offers to hold an officer's 'gun'." Heh, heh... yeah. I'm very interested in just who Greg Foster is..? Maybe you've mentioned him to us, but I don't remember. The name is familiar.

Btw, I now know the reason behind the sudden use of "frak"!! I prefer "fark" and "frick", but that's just me. :D

"Fark" will always have a special place in my heart ... er vocabulary. It's just the world's most perfect word ... along with "botany". Don't ask.

Botany? How can I not ask?

When I was little and didn't know what it meant, I used to crack when I heard grown-ups using the word. It just sounded like they were complaining "But, Annie ...".

Did your relatives regularly speak about botany? When I think 'botantist', I think Laura Dern in JP. Except, she was a paleobotanist.

My wife would agree with you about Galactica being the best show on TV. She just about drove me crazy through the months of September and October asking "When is Galactica going to be on again?" I figured out why it appeals to so many people 1) It's a great action show, so it appeals to men. 2) It's basically a soap opera in space, which is why it appeals to women and non-traditional males. Obviously, some chicks dig action shows, but you get the gist. I hate to say it, but every time the copier jams on me at work I let loose with "Frak!" much to the consternation of my co-workers. "Where is he getting that from?" Hopefully you refrain from "Motherfraker" and "Gods damn it" which are just plain lame.

"Beyond Band of Brothers" is an incredible book. Made me go back and re-read Band of Brothers and re-watch the mini-series. Guys like Patton and Eisenhower weren't the heroes in that war, it was the guys like Winters. Patton and Ike were fortunate to have men like Dick Winters under their command.
