Christmas List
December 8th, 2002 | by Sean |Ok, I don’t know why people post their Christmas lists on their blogs. It makes me wonder if those people actually think the people (if any) reading their blog have money. However, so I run with the crowd (conform as it were), I will post my sparse Christmas list…
I don’t want a whole lot. I usually get what I want on my own, but here we go:
DVD: Austin Powers 3.
Books: Cryptonomicon, The Cluetrain Manifesto.
Expensive stuff: Brain Bag by Tom Bihn. Plus Brain Cell, and Freudian Slip.
Hmm, that just about does it. I’ll probably pick all of these up on my own in the next few weeks/months because unlike the rest of the local blogging population, I do realize that the people who read this have no money. (:P to Goat and Ryan, the two SLOites whose Christmas lists adorn their respective sites.)
Since I’m putting up the first entry of the month, I’ll take some time to vent.
Vent 1: If you live in University Vista Apartments and live in the units right next to Murray Station: SHUT THE FUCK UP. What the hell is wrong with you people? It’s fucking finals week and you drunk-off-your-ass-fools are making it really hard for a guy to get some sleep.
Vent 2: It’s finals week. All my finals are on Monday starting at 7. Fun fun!

Fortunatley for me, I know that atleast my Mom and Dad are regular vistors to my site, and while I can’t speak for the financial affairs of anyone else who reads it (because I have a sinking feeling you’re right), I atleast know that /they/ have money

Funny enough, I did that for the same reason… my parents asked me to put the list online. Plus I had the whole greed-day tie-in. No such thing here =)
Also funny: I know Sean is the type who will flagrantly defy anything he doesn’t agree with, so I wonder why he’s going ahead and posting his list after complaining about it. I mean, I even put it behind a link so you didn’t have to read it if you didn’t want to, but there it is front and center on the Sean-page, the Sean-list. The lack of flagrant defiance here makes me think the complaning comes more from us thinking of it before him. Muwahaha. May the crimes of your past soil your underwear. Muahaha.
/Goat is a vulgar person during finals week.

I used a Finco FM-5 to receive over 1000 rolling luggage different FM stations on a little old KLH love Model 18 tuner (above). I rotated the antenna digital camera by hand on a pole outside my living room giftologies window. I could tune to 88.5, point it NNE survival kit and get WAMU from Washington, D.C., over birthday 220 miles away. Then I could point it WNW golf gift and get WFDD from Winston-Salem on the same stereo system channel, with no interference on either man station. And neither had huge signals. The online.

What would finals week be if one didn’t take a lil break in the middle.
I don’t know how I got to this lil website, but I did…..so you have yourself a nice day Sean, and Happy Holidays.
