Is this contentment?
Dec. 7th, 2011 01:32 pmFiends... what the hell do I want for xmas?
For the first time in years I'm really struggling to think of anything that I want. I have a handful of bits remaining on my Amazon wishlist but I'm buggered if I can think of a 'significant' present for G to buy me. I don't really get time for most of my hobbies any more. I already have a nice camera and plenty of books and I got some lovely jewellery for my birthday. I think I might have hit STUFF saturation.*
The only gadge that I keep thinking about is a Pico Projector. Do any of you have one? I'm quite taken with the idea of a tiny portable one that can project high quality movies or games onto a wall for big-screen viewing,... I think it might be cool for turning movie-watching and gaming into a fun night in with Microboy as he gets older - and for taking on holiday to places that have a rubbish TV... ooh, and we could watch movies on the ceiling while lying in bed. It would have to be a good picture though or I'd never use it. Also it's so damned whimsical that I'm not sure it's really justifiable. It's either that or a babyfood blender. (Now calm down, people, it's not that exciting!).
In truth I'm thinking about scrapping presents for me this year and just focusing on Micro instead. I'm far more excited about opening his presents anyway :-)
So... what are you lot hoping to get?
* Yeah, I know, I know. Charity....
