Gifts for a Birthday
Mar. 10th, 2004 07:29 amRandom Ideas from Mishalak
Well it is just a bit over a month until my birthday. With that in mind I'm going to make a list of things to help out the people who want to give me gifts. Feel no obligation, I'm not greedy. But I sure as heck don't say no when people shower me with gifts!
Good ol' filthy lucre.
·Contribute to MiFF, The Mishalak Fan Fund. Send any amount you like, your contribution to this PBS Station... er.. fan fund will help Mishalak get to Worldcon later this year! Starting at the $5 level you will get a gushing letter of thanks. At the $10 level you can get a full color photograph of the one and only Mishalak and personalized to you as well! (Sorry fully clothed only unless someone wants to start bidding to get a naughty one made.)
Media Stuff
·The Brotherhood- Gay vampires, probably a really cheesy movie.
·The Last Unicorn on disc (or if you wanted to spend the big bucks the CD would be cool too.)
·The Adventures of Baron Munchausen- DVD or CD
·Interview with the Vampire- For some reason this isn't yet part of my collection. Ahhhh!
Random things to improve my life.
·A phone headset. No really, I think this would improve my life by enabling me to clean as I talk on the phone. Cleaning up by myself is a terribly dreary task. Talking to someone while I clean is much more enjoyable! Heck if I did the same for a friend we could clean up together.
·A Palm with keyboard. Then I could write anywhere! Okay, okay this is mostly a pipe dream. I mean over $100 seems unreasonable for a birthday gift.
·Memory Stick. I like the 128MB memory sticks for my camera, they'll fit 90 full sized pictures in the jpeg format. Don't have the resources to buy one by yourself? Pool with someone else! The last time I was over there this size was $60 at Costco.
·Outdoor speakers. I think it would be really cool to listen to my stereo in the shower. SO I'm thinking given the moist environment that outdoor speakers would be best.
Ahh Clothing
·Actually I really don't need any at this time. All the stuff I have not bought for myself is too expensive anyway.
Food!
·Honey is, as usual, greatly appreciated. I currently have Alpine Wildflower, Fireweed, Orange Blossom (nearly out), Guajillo, Colorado Wildflower, Chestnut, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, Irish, and Turkish honey. Anything else would be cool!
·A bottle of something local is very nice. In Colorado wines I favor Carlson Vineyards Peach Wine, Colorado Cellars Port, and Redstone Meadery's line of meads.
Ummm anything I should add to this list? Something you've noted that I actually need but don't have perhaps?

Date: 2004-03-11 06:54 am (UTC)(Actually I did get a leather jacket from an ex-lover once. I have no idea what it represented in his mind, but I was thrilled by getting it and was willing to accept it at face value. A present for a guy who needed something better than a ski jacket to wear around town.)
