robotech_masterWell, I've updated my Amazon wish list.
It's funny, I only ever started keeping one after I had learned about people who go around searching out random people's gift lists and then gifting them something at random. Never happened to me, though. Sure was a great incentive to keep that list, though—greed.
Not too sure I'll get a lot of stuff on it from friends and family this year. I think I've pretty much exhausted the holiday good will of my parents (staying with them, paying my rent and utilities while I can't work), my uncle (taking care of my apartment and forwarding stuff to me) and one of my brothers (who bought me the Spycraft 2.0 hardcover for help doing some freelancing work).
Also, I've learned the lesson not to put stuff on it unless you really wouldn't mind getting it instead of something else, and to remove the stuff you don't want anymore before you're inadvertently gifted it. Heh.
So this year's list is lean, mean, and without the crap on it that it's had in the past. Everything on it is something I wouldn't mind having. Though the highest-priority stuff, like the 3-disc DVD of Wall-E, is the stuff I really want.
