No one is attacking anyone here I don't think, it's a pretty good discussion so far.
Personally my xmas lists for at least the last 4 years have been 'money to help me towards...'
I did this for my drumkit, my computers, and my camcorder, Sometimes and usually the list is exactly the same at my birthday because I'm still saving up.
This year the list has;
•A Macbook
- Because I'm kinda getting to the stage where I need a laptop now and with a macbook I could get all my light/portable/on-site work done on either osx or windows and shouldn't have any trouble
•Black Magic Intensity HDMI Card
- To Make full use of my camcorder to create HD stop-motion animations easier, more effective and generally better as I can use software enhancements eg onion skin and previewing, currently I can only take photos and hope for the best.
•StopMotionMaker HDMI
- To go with above card, but I'd trial it first, if I got the above mentioned card
•Humanoid Animation Armature (not on list, but money would go towards)
- Fairly obvious reasons if you know me, it'd be handy for Uni and any projects I might have (by the way I put the dog down, I saved his head, the armature needs a complete strip-down and clean before I use it again)
Then smaller stuff I've asked for is mainly things I'd like for the house or stuff I've yet to track down.
•'George Foreman Style' Grill with removable plates
- Just one small enough for me/my kitchen, not one of the newer huge ones
•Nice Looking Wall Clocks
- I'd like one to go in my room and lounge
•Artwork on Canvas
- Brodies Law artwork is what I'm currently thinking of, the back tattoo one but probably some others would be better for downstairs, just to add some life to the building
• Back to The Future DVD Boxset
- always just sold out/not in stock for the past year. GREAT SCOTT!
•DVD Rack
- Probably going to make one myself to fill the space where the fireplace was originally
•2 front teeth.......(nah, joke)
•Beer
•Curry
•Help on the house
Shaun The Sheep isn't out in series form yet, only a few episodes on a DVD.
I couldn't think of any films or music that I want
The only game would possibly be Talkman Euro (European Languages + Japanese) as I'd like to learn German and Japanese
But I've pretty much got all the stuff I need, and I'm happy to spend time with family, I had a really good xmas day last year just sitting around with Dad and Carole (who are about to be married by the way
) and my dog Lara, had some food and light drinking, I also love to give presents and genuinely feel appreciated, I also like to make my presents for family more personal, so Dad and Carole had theirs on Friday, I took them to see Bill Bailey at Wembley Arena, for their birthdays I took them to see Avenue Q in London, etc.
Hopefully I'll have a good one this year, will just be me and my grandparents and Lara as those other 2 are still off on their wedding holiday as of tomorrow (the 4th)
Not really had many good xmas' since my mum left or my back problems surfaced, but if there is anything about xmas these days, you've just got to stay thankful for what you do have left
Hope I didn't bring the mood down
