Ideas for my upcoming birthday

I have had a few people ask me for ideas, so I figured I’d just put them out here as a suggestion or three.

Yes, it’s a swaglist. Sue me, it’s my website.

(On a related note, by the way, Char and Simon will be getting posting setup at Morruz when they take off. So you’ll all have to read it for their travels, too. I hope that Simon will post there, with a link over from his usual haunts, so that the travel docs can be kept together.)

Anyhoo.

So, there’s a few techie things that I’ll get out of the way ASAP. I’m looking for a Microsoft Bluetooth (wireless) mouse. I’m also looking for some kind of USB2 external hard drive in the medium-large range. Nothing insane. Last, but not least, I’m interested in a couple of computer games. For Windows (sad, but I installed Windows on the laptop just this weekend. I’m a sucker for techie playthings, what can I say). The games are HalfLife 2, and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

Heh.

Books are cool, too, of course. I’m low on literature, despite Amy’s best efforts to swamp me ;)

Anyway, that’s about it for the technolust. I don’t know why people keep saying I’m hard to buy for, since I usually make it pretty clear what I want.

    Interesting, we’ll have to do our own retail therapy next time I’m down as I wouldn’t know where to even look for most of what you listed.

    On the list of phrases I never thought I’d hear you use, “retail therapy” ranks pretty high.

    Weird…

    You’re having a birthday? Oh, right - my entire life DID change 29 years or so ago. We’ll have to discuss price range etc. but I personally like the mouse idea.

    By the way, I’m sure you can hold Char responsible for your Dad’s vocabulary. It’s contagious!

    Aw, come on, guys. Do we really have to play the blame game? Besides, what if our proud papa just needs a little love from the credit card company? Nothing wrong with that!

    BTW, I like the way comments appear in this setup

    Are those Ladybugs making sweet Love?

    I can only assume so. It really does look like it, doesn’t it?

    You think I’m made out of money or something?
