I've felt too scatterbrained to update lately, but I don't want to just leave that last entry up and continue giving you all the impression that I'm dwelling in some kind of hormonal never-never-land. I am now fully in the...
For the past week I have been taking my birth control pills one day ahead of schedule. What can I say? I live for the future. I took my Monday pill on Sunday and I took Tuesday's pill today. I'm...
This whole time I've neglected to mention that those surprise earrings I got for Christmas were made by Nat at Evil Eye Emporium. Thanks, Nat! (Thanks also to Cinnamon and Brenda for their help!)...
For details about and stuff I'll be doing in the next couple of months, including a reading in the west suburbs (Chicago) in March....
January I went boot camp crazy: did way too many lunges, squats. Thanks to this stupid page in Feb. you could calculate our mutual hots! In March I blathered on and on about horoscopes, Kirstie, and chick lit. April was...
Maybe you thought your weekend was hot shit, but you weren't riding the CTA Santa Train when it totally derailed. (Again!) And you probably didn't build a Gingerbread Currency Exchange either. Then again, you might have actually gotten all...

New jeans that are like my Jessica Simpson jeans in every way, except for the association with Jessica Simpson.
A perpetual can of Diet Coke that never goes empty, warm, or flat.
One of those heated Japanese bras. Black, please!
The head of Adam Corolla.
A robot servant who can charge my cell phone, update my iPod, pick up prescriptions, and dispense quarters through its mouth.
Exact replicas of the black-heart-skull-and-crossbones earrings worn by Nena in the video for 99 Luftballons.
A faithful ghost dog.
Some process by which to absorb the complete texts of the last two Harry Potter books without having to actually read them.
The amazing ability to turn lights and appliances on and off with the mere clap of my hands.

No fair! These weren't on your Amazon wishlist!
Posted by: Chris at December 6, 2005 11:38 AMThe idea of sweaty winter tits makes me sad.
Posted by: dana at December 6, 2005 01:16 PMWell, you don't work in my office. You don't have to deal with people who like to RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER this time of year. If I had a Big Electric Sasquatch Bra I would be much more comfortable.
Posted by: Wendy at December 6, 2005 01:29 PMDamn, I have to take back the Chia Pet. But, it *is* the new Adam Carolla Chia Head!!
Oh well, please don't clap before you unwrap my gift, ot it will give it away.
Posted by: Amy M. at December 6, 2005 02:37 PMShould we send this delightful array by mail, UPS, Star Trek Engergizer? Or maybe Santa will do a pick up when he comes to my house.
Posted by: Debora at December 6, 2005 03:46 PMIf you do get Adam Corolla's head can I kick it a couple times?
Posted by: Phineas at December 6, 2005 04:13 PMOh I so very heartily agree with the Adam Corolla comment. I personally want his testicles in a jar. He may be the World's Most Annoying Self-Satisfied Frighteningly Hairy Uberschmuck....
So very nice to know I am not alone..
Posted by: Jhone at December 6, 2005 06:45 PMHow about I send you Nena's head instead,
and you can collect her earrings yourself?
It may not be as obvious for the non-German
speaking part of the world,
but that way, everybody wins.
We have lamps in our house that turn on and off merely by touching, or even waving at the lamp base. I'd guess it was a heat sensor, but then wouldn't the heat from the lightbulb cause them to turn themselves off?
I know that's not like clapping, but it's pretty cool.
Can I get a robot servant too? I've got into trouble for having my mobile phone go dead too often lately.
Posted by: Kirsten at December 7, 2005 06:42 AMDoes it count if you listen to the Harry Potter books on CD or Audible? What if you listen in your sleep?
Posted by: Anatidaeling at December 7, 2005 09:18 AMa ghost dog?
what, like greyfriars bobby or something?
just get depressed & have a 'black dog'- you don't need to even feed him/her, bonus! xx
Posted by: DIANE SHIPLEY at December 7, 2005 02:33 PMWait a minute. HEATED JAPANESE BRA ???!!!!
But I'm totally with you on the Adam Carolla head thing. Let's go all "Lord of the flies" on it.
Adam...Carolla
Adam...Carolla. He's on my list too. I'll give him to you when I'm done with him.
That last item *can* be yours. It's called (no really!) "THE CLAPPER", with the slogan "clap on, clap off!".
My mom had one. Didn't work that well, but she wasn't that good at clapping.
But if you're still set on one or more, point your friends to

No ghost dog, but there's a ghost horse in _The Clue of the Linoleum Laderhosen_ by M.T. Anderson. Maybe the ghost horse knows a ghost pet distributer or something...
Posted by: Anatidaeling at December 8, 2005 12:24 PMOh, I thought when you were asking for a Ghost Dog, you wanted Forrest Whittaker as an insane urban samurai assassin.
I hope I can return this guy...
Posted by: Phineas at December 8, 2005 03:39 PMThere are earrings on eBay like the ones you described, but they're pink...

Wow, so that's all you want. You're easy to shop for, I thought you'd ask for something hard like a new Furby, cause you know people are beating down Wal*mart's doors to get those, I'll bet no one's even thought of the joys they could bring to loved ones with the replenishing diet coke.
Posted by: kara at December 10, 2005 09:49 AMThis has nothing to do with what you want for christmas. I just read an article in glamour about blogs and seen you in it, so I am just checking it out. :-)
Posted by: cherylt at December 10, 2005 02:23 PMI wonder if the Japanese Sasquatch bra comes in a 36 long with various settings? That "Nipsey Russell" syndrome can be a real pain in the ass in winter.
Killy Piggy! Kill Piggy!
I'm with you on the bottomless, cold and fresh Diet Coke. :)
Posted by: Sarah at December 11, 2005 03:14 PMTarina Tarantino has some lovely skull earrings in many colors, not EXACTLY the Nena earrings, but close. And only $32 smackers. http://www.tarinatarantino.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=311
I have one of her necklaces in the same design and love it much.
Too bad you didn't read Harry Potter 5. That one was really good. Book 6 was lousy, though. And I think Harry will kill himself in book 7. How much you've missed!
