Christmas Wish List 2006
In honor of the busiest shopping day of the year, here are a few of the things that I want/need* to get during this Christmas season:
Optical Mouse - I'm hoping for a nice 5 button mouse but I also like the standard Microsoft one.
Pen Drive 1GB - I haven't had a flash drive since my 256MB Lexar got stolen. I need one now.
MiniSD Card - I need one for my phone so that I can take loads of pictures and easily transfer them to my computer for use in blog posts.
Webhosting - I want to buy some server space so that I can host my own website, blog, FTP site, Wiki etc.
Gore-Tex Jacket - It'll be winter in 日本 when I come back and a good, rain-proof coat will undoubtedly prove invaluable.
Digital Camera - My cameraphone isn't ideal for documenting my adventures abroad. I don't need anything state of the art.
BDU Trousers - In Japan I have to dry my clothes on the line and I've found that my BDUs dry much quicker than jeans. Unfortunately, the Japanese are sometimes offended by Americans in camo so solid black or gray are the preferred colors this season.
Creative ZEN - My MuVo died on me. I'm ready to move up to a bit nicer MP3 player. I like the Creative players because they don't require annoying software like iTunes or Zune.
19" Flatscreen Monitor(s) - I love my laptop but some more screen real estate would be nice. An LCD would also be nice for my desktop.
Tillamook Cheddar - I've been missing cheese for more than three months and so I have decided to bring at least one large brick back to 日本 with me.
Wrap Around Headphones - The wires in the pair that I have are broken causing spotty sound. Be forewarned: I'm picky about headphone comfort.
Wireless Hub - It would nice to set up a wireless network in my new apartment.
Black Socks - What can I say? I lose socks and need replacements frequently.
Money - My finances are going to be tight during the Spring Semester and any contributions towards my college expenses will be greatfully received.
*Most of these are things that I'll have to buy for myself if I don't get them as gifts.

Fry's didn't have any 1GB pen drives on sale, they were favoring the 2 and 4GB models. They did have 40GB Zen Nomads for $99.99. They really didn't have any really exciting sale items today, almost makes me with we stayed in bed.
I got a nice LCD for my female parental unit. Not bad. The Shadow Walker got himself a nice digi cam and The Filmmaker got himself movies.
