- Superman II DVD - The Richard Donner Edition (which is much different than the theatrical release... Marlon Brando was actually in Superman II!!)
- XD Memory Card (1 gigabyte).... XD is like an SD memory card, which most digital cameras and MP3 players take, but my camera takes the XD card, which are harder to find :(
- Daredevil DVD Director's Cut.... it's got Jennifer Garner in it... that's all that matters.
- Zoo Tycoon II Collection for the PC... it's a fun game and educational, which means I can play it with the kids when we're stuck at home with nothing to do.
- Any season of Scrubs on DVD (I like the show).
#2? No.
#3? No.
#4? No.
#5? No.
So, yeah, as usual no one could figure out what to buy for me. I did get some hockey books, which I think it's safe to say I have the largest collection of books on the subject in North America. I got a couple hardcover books by authors I'd mentioned in a conversation once (one is the 3rd book in a series and the other is by the author I mentioned as "not really into his stuff"). I got a hockey sweater from my sister. She used to get me gift cards for music shops all the time, but decided to get me more hockey stuff instead. My parents gave me a book on Canadian comic artists. My in-laws gave me $70 to buy "whatever it was" I wanted. Sheesh.
The best of all, though, came from my daughter. Her school does a little "Christmas store" thing one day a year so that kids can come with $1 and buy gifts for their Moms and Dads. My wife got a dish towel which was nothing compared to my coffee mug:
Riviera Casino presents: "La Cage" with an all-star cast of female impersonators. Including Frank Marino as Joan Rivers.
Awesome. I cried, I really did. It was difficult holding in the laughter.
So, the plan was to take my $70 and go spend it on Boxing Day and pick up everything I'd asked for (or at least some/most of it). Except at 3:30 Boxing Day morning, I was in the bathroom with my head in the toilet reliving every morsel of 2 Christmas dinners....
More on that another time.

be patient...you will get to the store soon enough...that is quite a specific list though. Perhaps you should give them a written copy next time? ;->
It was a written copy... they still couldn't figure it out :(
Next year I'll use pictures too.
I've learned to be VERY SPECIFIC now too with Christmas gifts -- as in I'm taking you shopping and you're paying for it, don't even bother wrapping it...
I got a 1/2 off sewing machine from Kohl's the day after Thanksgiving... LIFE IS SWEET!
PS -- love the mug!!! hahahah
