Both my twenty-four(teen)th birthday and Christmas are coming up soon, and people always ask me what I kind of gifts I want. Whenever someone asks me the question, though, my mind goes completely blank. So here I'll keep a running list of things I'd like, so you lucky few who read this blog won't be left in the dark. (A certain amount of analysis can reveal more about what kind of person I am, too, probably revealing more about me than I would like to.)
So, here's my wish list for 2008:
Caroline Hartig's Clarinet Brillante II. I don't already own this CD from my college clarinet prof, and there's no excuse for it.[Finally bought this, Spring 2009]A wireless router (as opposed to a cordless router — we're talking WiFi here)[All right...so I went out and bought this one myself. I still get to cross it off the list!]A subscription to Games magazine[Thanks, Dad!]The CD Best of Bowie[Thanks Ginia!]The Kronos Quartet's Nuevo[Thanks, Mom!]- Coldplay's Viva La Vida
Spore Creepy and Cute Parts Pack[Thanks, Nelsons!]Neal Stephenson's new novel Anathem[Thanks, Jean!]- A 26-hour day
- Russel Shorto's Descartes Bones
- A house in Lawrence township (in hopes that Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, et al. surf the blogosphere looking for ways to spend money)
One of those nonclassical-music creation programs, like one of these.[Anyone know of a good Cakewalk guide?]- Effects pedals for an electric guitar (I don't have any, so anything from simple distortion to a wah-wah pedal would be great -- get them used at eBay)
Maybe a new watch (analog, something interesting but not too visually loud)[Even better: an old watch. Two, actually, that belonged to my brother.]- A large donation to the Indiana Wind Symphony
A small sculpture of a clarinetist, to add to my small collection[Not a sculpture, but a nice framed paper silhouette]Teen Titans: The Complete Fifth Season[Found this at Fry's]- The New England Jazz Ensemble Wishes You a Cookin' Christmas
