Kath’s Wish List Dec 2009

Santa can add a playful look and feel.Please Santa, I’ve been so very good all year (boring).  This is my third year sending you a list. Are you paying attention?

I’ve made a list of rewards to make your job easier.  Perhaps my friends have some further suggestions. 

Readers, help me please.  Give me some ideas of what I could add.  I wouldn’t want to miss any fun in 2010. Reply below.

1 Christmas In the HeartBob Dylan Christmas CD - Christmas in The Heart- better than the chipmunks.  You know I’m one-eyed when it comes to Zimmy, the poet of my boomer youth. However, I do admit at first I was gobsmacked imagining how the traditional holiday songs might sound in Bobby’s familiar croke.  You won’t be disappointed if you want old-style favourites without any updated twists.  Great reviews, great addition to some of the worlds most hard to listen to insipid tunes. Just reading the reviews on the Performer Notes is worthwhile.

Bumper CarOrange Bumper Car  Bumper Car controls2 Bumper Car - Can’t you see me cruising Highway 1 north through Dome Valley in one of these road-worthy rennovations now becoming a fad on California roads. I want the orange one. 

After mastering the controls on my new BlackBerry mobile phone these bumper car controls will be a step back pre-digital.

C-Quester from UboatWorx Netherlands 3 I still hanker for my two-seater C-Quester submersible that topped my 2007 Wish List.   Want ride shotgun? Slither like a fish through the deep. Surrounded by silence broken only by the distant pulsing theme from Jaws. Let’s go.

4 Jazz Trio NZI’d love a summer afternoon of live jazz featuring About Time and Lounge Sweet  - two jazz bands my husband Matt plays drums with.  I can imagine a fine Sunday afternoon on Grey Street beach (my backyard now that all grass has been replaced with easy to maintain shell!). Bill Evans playlist, warm breeze blowing, headlines of the year but a distant memory.  If not place, yours. Both bands available for garden parties. Email me.

5 Petrol powered daiquiri blenderThe ear-popping-petrol-powered-daiquiri-wacker from my 2008 Wish List move onto this years list. My desire has heightened.  My vision - a remote spot on a February beach watching sunset after a day surf fishing working my daiquiri-wacker.  The backstory is I want to extend the bucket-list celebration I had drinking Margarita’s in Arizona’s hot July overlooking Monument Valley, the John Wayne movie country red earth outdoors.  Free camping our great long driveable beaches merits a wacker moment.

6 WingsuitNumber 2 on last year’s list - the jet-propelled wing is now replaced with the flying suit - not for me but to keep Matt busy while I’m playing poker - see below. 

Carribean Stud Poker card game7 Caribbean Stud for home. While Matt’s leaping off mountains playing flying squirrel, I’ll be busy while I’m playing Caribbean Stud Poker home game - see #3.  Is no one listening.  I’m still drawned to get my NZQA qualification in Gaming. 

 Poker For Dummies 8 Poker for Dummies, PC version new March 2009. Santa said the board game was too hard to find and suggested I should go with the computer game.  I must refuse. Nothing beats the luscious soft sound of chips slidding toward me across the felt tabletop. I want the home version! I thought Santa can find anything!

Twilight New Moon 9 Must have some …what I call junk reading for the beach.  Yep - I admit to Santa and whoever else is reading, I do enjoy a stack of lo-lit on the beach days when the clouds are competing for my attention.  Outside the target demographic I’m still curious. Figure I might as well see what all the fuss is about with these vampire films Twilight and New Moon.  Best sellers, my goodness (she says with a bit of a snear being a literature major and all …did you hear me pronounce literature with a very English accent?).  What is it with Stephenie Meyer, LDS house-mum writing blockbusters.  What was her inspiration?

Beatles on Apple Shaped USB10 The Beatles in 24bit. A unique apple-shaped USB drive loaded with the remastered audio for The Beatles - 14 stereo titles plus ALL the re-mastered CD’s visual elements, 13 mini-doco films, replicated original UK art, rare photos and expanded liner notes. Available 7-8 Dec worldwide EMI releases the limited ed of 30,000 only.  Cost is US $279 or L200 and both PC/Mac compatible.  My info source was Linn, a high-end audio supplier talking about the impending death of CD players.  

This Beatles product ensures better quality and the ease and portability of modern technology.  Specifically designed Flash interface uses 16 GB in both FLAC 44.1Khz24bit and MP3 320KBps formats. 

I do love my tech toys. After recently getting my Blackberry I thought I’d be satisfied for awhile.  Looks like I’m going for a fruit salad. Santa, bring me an Apple USB loaded with Beatles (doesn’t sound particularly healthy, does it…an apple beatles combo???).

Readers, what have I missed?

    I’ve been doing a lot of research online lately regarding traffic and Search Engine Optimization since I just opened up an website with a couple of buddies.
    The design of your WordPress blog is great and I’d really like to exchange links with your website. Have a look at our site if you want, we put a lot of work and effort into it and are dedicated to improve it constantly.
    We receive a lot of hits already (contact me for visitor stats) and I think both our sites can benefit from one another. Anyway, just thought I’d share my thoughts with you - keep up the good work and get back to me if interested!
