the_rckNow that I've put together my Christmas wish list and sent it out, I have to restrain my impulse to buy some of the things I've requested. It's hard because I know that I won't get most of what I listed, but I'm sure that anything I buy for myself I guarantee that someone else will buy. Since I put the anime that I want on that list, I may not go to Wizzywig this month. I'm almost completely certain that no one will buy any of it because it's not necessarily all that easy to find (Hey, they often complain about the mass market paperbacks I list being hard to find) and because they're a little more expensive than the standard DVD.
I did try to include some easy, relatively harmless items. I'm fairly sure I'll get Monsters, Inc. from someone, and somebody's going to pick out a parenting book or two for us. Beyond that... I'll probably get the gloves and maybe some gift certificates (though my in laws don't like doing gift certificates very much). The specific books I listed would be easy for me to find in a Border's or a Barnes & Noble (and dead easy on Amazon), but... The CDs might not be as easy because my taste runs toward folk music, but I did cite urls for the more obscure stuff (which are generally the titles that I really want to get my hands on).
I don't know how far Scott's gotten on his holiday shopping. I usually leave it up to him to find everything for his family while I deal with mine. My family doesn't do wish lists, so I don't have to wait to see them (and they get whatever I happen to come across, mostly Swiss Colony stuff these days). Of course, not having a list makes buying for people like my brother-in-law-to-be nearly impossible. I've only met him once and haven't got the slightest notion of what he likes or doesn't (apart from my sister and their dogs).
