SHIT!

I've spent a load of time over the past week or so putting together my Christmas list for my family (as requested).. as usual, there are no 'big things' I particularly want, and if there were I'm probably prefer to source them out myself, so basically this = an exhaustive list of sub-cultural garbage that I'd quite like to get my hands on.

This time round I've been making things easier for my long-suffering relatives (and de-valuing the ideal of christmas gift-giving yet further) by doing the rounds of internet shops, making sure I'm putting things on my list that actually exist and are within the reach of mainstream retailers, as well as confirming authors names, putting year & director on films to avoid confusion etc. etc.

So I've finished, and it's pretty cool list. Save the file to disk - hurrah. Open it again a few minutes later so I can send it out..... fucking file's corrupted and I can't open it!! SHIT! Now I've got to start again, with those all-important shoppingdaystillxmas slipping away.

BAH!

I think I'll just tell them to buy me something big, black and evil that has horns, makes noises like a sitar and projects mesmerising multi-coloured lights onto the wall and have done with it.
