What Do I Want for My Birthday?

My family has started the inevitable questionning regarding what I want for my birthday.

I want tons of stuff.

Problem is, I can't think of it.

I'm serious. My brain pretty much locked up at Christmastime, and hasn't yet unfrozen. I usually have two or more extravangant things that I won't buy for myself that I can ask my mom and sister to get me ... this year, though, I went right on ahead and on impulse ordered myself the Palm T|X.

The item I wanted from LL Bean (a Tuckerman's jacket in burgundy, black and white) is not available in that color. It wasn't available in that color at any point during the month before Christmas, and it appears that it won't be available in the foreseeable future. The jacket does not look as good in orange and charcoal and white, or in varying shades of "ultramarine" which appears to be a sort of purply blue.

So, I ended up with a bunch of (very cool) DVDs, one game that I haven't had time to play yet, and pair of moosehide slippers.

Slippers are actually a household gift-rule violation, but since I did actually want them, an exception was granted.

But what do I want?

What's cool and under about $100 or so ... less is better, that way I can get more than one thing.

I am relatively easy to please. I find things like Sea Monkeys to be very amusing, after all.

None of my right-wing news magazines are up for renewal, I don't really have the physical space for a DVD recorder for the TV, and the likelihood is that anything I get will be ending up in a box to prepare to move because of my apartment complex's condo conversion nonsense.

My mother and sister will not purchase firearms or firearms accessories.

I guess I could ask for something like all of the South Park DVDs (or some subset of them) ... but I dunno. I was thinking along the lines of something cooler. I just have no fucking clue about what cooler is right now.
