What happened next . . .

Rosebud

Christmas is over. 2006 is just around the corner. Beth and I now have bicycles. Mine is a Giant Rincon. I've named it Rosebud (keep clicking if it doesn't open). Reminds me of childhood adventure. Where the world is this big unexplored island of wonder. I rode Rosebud to work today - about 5 miles. It was painful at times - but I have strong legs. I have to ride it home - I hope I make it. If not, I'll have to camp out by the side of the road until Bethany comes to pick me up.

As Requested . . .A Wish List

I was reluctant to write this because I really don't know what I would want (and I am always reluctant to blog anyway - sorry Beth). But at the urging of certain people who will remain nameless (you know who you are) I will try my best to think of some things that I would not object to receive during the Christmas season:

Music

Magazines

  • A subscription to this magazine would be great (great photography tips).
  • Or this one.

Movies/TV

I would love to have any season (not the first - the later the better) of these:

  1. Simpsons
  2. Futurama
  3. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (on this one, earlier seasons are better)
  4. Seinfeld

Some movies that I wouldn't mine adding to my collection (wide screen versions):

  1. The Apartment
  2. umm. . . I can't think of anymore right now (oh well).

Books

  • These G.K. Chesterton books would be lovely:

The Everlasting Man

Father Brown Mysteries

Manalive

Autobiography

Collected Poetry : Part 1

Misc.

  • Gift certificates are always nice: Frys, Target, Newegg.com, Best Buy - are all good.

And that's all I can think of right now - so this concludes my wish list for 2005.

Merry Christmas!
