Annual Birthday Greed List 2014
Because my parents asked, and because it's entertaining to look at what I wanted in years past.
Reading Materials
- A subscription to The Economist. When I've read it I've appreciated it.
- They've been reissuing Hellblazer as more complete trades.
- Some of the Garrison Keillor "Good Poems" anthologies. I own Good Poems and have read Good Poems for Hard Times; also out there, unread by me, is Good Poems: American Places. I think that's all of them currently. EDIT - Mom & Dad got me Good Poems: American Places!
Kitchen Stuff
- Some really good hot chocolate. Because I like hot chocolate.
- A good pepper grinder. Or maybe a salt and pepper grinder set.
- EDIT: My sister things I need a rolling pin.
- EDIT: This fancy baking cookbook I have thinks I baking stone.
- EDIT: All the ice cream in my fridge thinks I need a fancy ice cream scoop.
Art
- A print of Orpheus by Odilon Redon suitable for framing, or maybe even framed already!
- A print of this Egon Schiele work.
- A Grace Tong print.
- This Oakland A's print, framed
Clothes
- An Oakland Athletics Jersey. Any color. Maybe even the crazy yellow alternates from this year. Or the much cheaper 1989 Rickey Henderson World Series jersey. Actually, buying these from MLB is asking to be fleeced.
- A US Olympic Hockey Team Jersey, 1980 Miracle on Ice edition (white). #9 Neal Broten? Or generic.
