Jim’s Gift Wishlist
Books and DVDs: (fixed up as of 11/16/07)
See my Amazon Wishlist. Or the UK Amazon Wishlist. The UK DVD sets are very high on the list.
For a change, I need some clothes – what Mere and her Grandma call ‘jammie pants’, a new belt, and some winter shoes.
Another bit of Chinese historical miniseries that I’m interested in getting: Moment in Peking

Really, my tastes are limited, and I don’t buy much for myself. Susan and her mom are strongly talking about Buying Me Clothes for Christmas, which is not a popular idea with me; I had too much of that as a kid. That, or stuff that was obviously terribly immature for me – like The Golden Book of Science at the age of 12. This was more a failure of imagination on the present-buyers’ parts. Susan’s Wishlist is also up, and I’m scanning it for stuff for her – a lot of crafty stuff there. Last year, Meredith yelled about Not Getting Any Toys, and God Forbid that Toys-R-Us goes out of business or something – she’s already sent one letter to Santa and is musing about the Things She Left Out.
