Christmas List

So, here we are. The day before Thanksgiving. Most of my family will say that this is long overdue, but at least I'm getting it out before black Friday.

Now I'm not as cool as my brother, so I'm not going to have a super specific list with hyperlinks to where you can order each and every item. I will, however, provide a list with specific qualifications of what I want. Individual brands matter less (in most cases) than the features I'm looking for. So, in no particular order, here we go:

  • A Netbook - Such as the ASUS eeePC models S101, 1000, or 901. I want one with at least 1GB of RAM, an Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor, and a SSD. I'm leaning towards a Linux operating system, but I'd rather take the model with the larger SSD.
  • 1 Terabyte Drive - An external hard drive with 1 TB of storage (they're not that much more than a 500GB drive)
  • Flash Drive - A really big flash drive for my key chain. Like 16 or 32 GB. I bet these will be on sale for black Friday...
  • Office Chair - I want a new office chair, but I haven't picked one out. I think I want one with the big roller blade style wheels. It seems like those would work better on carpet.
  • GPS Navi System - A navi with a nice big and bright screen, free map upgrades, TEXT to SPEECH (where it says the road names), and it would be great if it had real time traffic updates...
  • A BluRay player - I've got a great HDTV, but no HD movie ability. Any BR player will do, but if it came in the form of a Playstation 3, that would be even better!
  • Guitar Hero World Tour (XBOX360) - This is the game that comes with three instruments. Not to be confused with Rock Band or Rock Band 2. I want the GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR that comes with a guitar, microphone and drum set. The instruments that come with GHWT are better than those that come with RB2
  • Video Games - All for XBOX 360. These don't have to be new. Used games work just as well. All I ask is that you check the game disc for scratches.
  • Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
  • Fable 2
  • Tenchu Z
  • Halo 3
  • Gears of War
  • Grand Theft Auto 4
  • Dance Dance Revolution (with a compatible dance mat)
  • 1 year xbox live Gold membership
  • Xbox Live points
  • Onkyo TX-SR606 Surround Sound receiver - If I'm gonna be watching HD movies I'll need a receiver than can convert HD audio...
  • Body Fat % Scale - I'd like a digital scale that tells weight within .2 pounds and body fat with .5%. I need to start getting leaner for Nationals so I can look good in my dance shirts. This will help me keep track of my progress.
  • GIFT CARDS!!! in any denomination and to anywhere really, but here are some suggestions:
  • Wal-mart
  • Target
  • Food Lion
  • Best Buy
  • Crabtree Mall
  • Just for fun let's throw in a new couch and love seat, and how about a new front porch? Maybe landscaping service for a year?

I might add more or make things more specific as time goes by...

**Here's some new stuff**

  • Pure Beech® Sateen Sheet Set, 100% Modal, 250 Thread Count - White. These are the softest sheets ever and they can be found at Bed Bath & Beyond. I have several 20% off coupons if you need one...
