starting my christmas list early this year...

1. Canon EOS Rebel T2i EF-S 18-55mm IS Kit

oh, delicious dish. the Canon earns first place Christmas list ranking for 2 main reasons: a) it is obviously badass and takes some crazy great digital shots. and b) it was on the list last year, and probably the year before that. and before that. it is the susan lucci of Christmas gifts. please, someone, clinch that emmy for it. 

at the low low price of only $899.99 (before implied holiday savings) how could you not?

2. Fucking Insanely Awesome Wall Map

need i say more? i doubt it... but i totally will. this map has stolen my heart, as has much of the urbanoutfitters.com shopper's pornography. $140 might sound silly, but come on. look at it. 

3. most ridiculously expensive laptop in the world. (aka the murder machine) 

although this macbook pro will undoubtedly lead to my mugging and murder aboard the redline el, it's so cool that i don't really care. however, i suppose that if i could somehow feasibly afford such opulence, i probably wouldn't need to go to college. i'd probably just lay around naked in my villa all day, building forts out of stacks of hundreds and throwing rubies around like confetti. OR on the other side of the equation, i could take out a massive student loan to secure this diamond studded thief-magnet, thus forcing myself to graduate with a doctorate in finance to fulfill repayment. 

hm... i guess when you put it that way, i kind of have to buy it... 

Be Still, My Heart. 

The fully customizable, fully awesome, plato superbike from urbanoutfitters.com. 


le sigh. 


with the addition of the plato superbike to my transit collection, i could worry less about the effect of the apple murder machine on my life expectancy. i suppose you could call it a necessity... especially if you've seen the crowd i ride the train with. 


Cardboard Taxidermy? Absolutely!

vegan animal extortion at it's finest. mcfabulous, actually. again, from urban outfitters. i can't believe i actually want a life sized deer head in my house, but hey. i'm stylish like that. 




i really need to get off urbanoutfitters.com

or not, because ohmygodthisisspectacular. i am already in negotiations with my lil' sis (mon petit souer) to wreak havoc on the quiet streets of paris in these magic gojira suits. i'm thinking of putting together some sort of telethon so that average americans can become a part of our cross cultural alliance.
