The List

So its Amerricun Thanksgiving week, which means the Oprah My Favorite things show is out, which marks again another year of the female audience jumping / screaming / crying insanely, displaying unreal "overacting" levels of spasm, like a baby who just spat out a pacifier, all really for something stupid like oprah gifting a panini press (you know the story, because all women are lunatics). And to be honest, this years list was pretty shit too. High Fashion Mu-mu fat people clothes? Uggs? A fridge with a LCD screen? Well let me backtrack, that actually is cool. but.. Josh Groban CD? Comeon... I truly was expecting more quality. Its sounds to me like a injury plagued off year for Oprah, must be the South African school scandal that has her not on her 'A' game.

What it means then is that its a good time to publish my annual Christmas wish list. And mine is better than Oprahs. Even though I wont be in Vancouver this xmas, just buy these things for me anyways, and Ill manage to pick it up sometime when Im over next... not to worry...

Also this is an active growing list. Things might add to it as I think of them.. like for example when I decide which next pair of shoes I want...

-Bodum Bora Bora Tea Press . Ive been living in Ireland for almost 4 years now, where they have tea 4 times a day. So I need a cool ass tea pot. And this one is double wall.

-Adagios Tea, Rooibos Cinnamon Apple. I need tea for that pot too. Gourmet South African Tea.. its the only way I roll.

- Banana Republic Cashmere Earmuffs. If you are going to get earmuffs... might as well get cashmere ones. I could rock these.

-- Paul Smith Dog Cuff Links. Actually what i really want is a Pimp "Spinners" cuff links, but I dont think they exists, or at least google says so.

-30" Apple Cinema Display. Ill even accept a 20" one, so I can marry it with a wall mount and a track ball, and install it beside the toilet, for safe internet use, while dropping a deuce.

-Kryptonite.

-Bose Quiet Comfort 3. I already have pretty good noise cancellation Sennheiser ones, but I cant let Jill have a pair and me not have them. No way...

- Luggage. By Tumi.

- Tee Shirt. A sweet ass t shirt that hopefully wont be dated anytime soon.

- The newest Lady Killer.

- The best Stand up arcade game of all time

- Karate Kid Special Edition DVD

- New Camera. I want this so bad. Along with a Canon 24-105mm f4/L IS USM Lens.

............

Eventually...

A bit late but below I have posted some of the pictures from the Greece Italy trip 6 weeks back. Remember how I explained how my computer was missing for 2 weeks? So thats why its late. And as for the 4 weeks preceding that, lets just say I was lazy as expected and well known for welching on blog promises, yet somehow, to my credit, made up for it by posting quite prolifically during that month. Temporarily I refound that elusive writing passion, a passion which during that period was almost as strong as my super-crush on Alicia Keyes (Im attracted to geniuses, and isnt she just lovely with straight hair and red lipsticks?). Lets try to keep it up...

So here we go.. and if you wish, again click to enlarge.


This is one of the greatest and one of my most favorite things about Italia.. Italian Cafes. Even better scene at night.


Rome shopping.


Spanish steps at midnight.

Three years ago i posted Santorini photos. This time I went a little new, and took pictures in a different light.

Im back mac..

-No one knew this, but Ive been without my trusty macbook pro laptop for the last 2 weeks almost. I pulled a cheeky move, by sending the mac in for repair, only for the sole reason that my year warranty was about to expire and it was my last chance to get some thing repaired for free, even though there was nothing really wrong with the computer. I called em up, I made some trumped up complaint about the hard drive sounding "funny". The auth. mac repair crowd in dublin picked up it via courier, ran a few diagnostic tests, and actually found that the hard drive ran a tad slow on a few "sectors" and although only a minor concern,decided to replace it. Class... Por Pree.. dats por pree.. I had to suffer for it little bit though, regulated to the work laptop extended use at home... small sacrifices but Im back

-I have been a big fan of www.ngtv.com this past year... one of the better more entertaining things to come from the internet since all those secret websites that organize streaming tv and movie links. Its like Entertainment tonight / Extra, but except totally fucking cool instead... its unique its raw and fun, has a hot bimbo blonde host Carrie Keagan, she asks celebrities funky stupid questions that are the complete opposite of banal, and its unedited uncensored nature has done for entertainment coverage what south park has done for cartoons. And seriously, nothing is funner than listening to your A list celebrities like Robin Williams and Topher Grace repeatedly say "cock" and "motherfucker". "No Good TV", Good times. So Im glad its back, cuz I couldnt check that shit on my sterile work computer.

-One of my biggest pet peeves is when you find a toilet seat thats kinda like, you know, loose and wiggly. The seat moves around on you as you sit down, I hate that, cuz theres always the potential for the disaster situation of butt skin touching ceramic bowl (arghhh). My favorite toilet stall at work was like this though and I always had to be extra careful (my favorite because hardly anyone uses this one, low traffic and quiet). I filled in a few maintenance facility complaints to get it repaired, all the way back to January and have been frustrated because if it just got fixed, itd be the best work toilet Ive ever experienced. Its warm, clean, and it even smells good in there, like a 5 star hotel bathroom with potpourri. This week though, to my surprise it not only got fixed, but it got replaced by a new Gucci toilet seat... all shiny n blinging. Yep, these are the type of things that excite me ...

Destroyed..

Disaster. Ive destroyed my day. Ive never woken up to start my day at 830PM before...

Neww first, 6am Drunk..
