Momma is teaching Enzo to sing. He actually replied with E I E I O at the right spot in the song all on his own tonight.
We'll have him talking before not much longer! Oh wait. Shit.

2006 Christmas List
(I AM having trouble with line-break formatting, so I turned off the "auto" feature which broke the rest of my blogs, dammit.)
Everyone's been starting to bother me about christmas list stuff, so here it is, my 2006 Christmas Wishlist. True, I could use Amazon or some other crap like that, but it just ends up being 1000 DVDs.
Practical Options
Tamrac Adventure 74 Photo Backpack
www.tamrac.com
$69.95
I got my Lensbaby tonight, and along with the 10-20mm Lens, I have no room for all of my glass, and flash, in the old bag I have. I need something that will store and keep ALL of my gear together. This will do.
Gorillapod SLR
www.joby.com
$39.95
I'd like a new little tripod, and these look like the best of the bunch.
The Slanket
www.theslanket.com
$48.95 - Castle Rock or Hunter Green
Honestly, this is a really cool idea. Perfect for a lazy couch potato like me.
Khet Laser Game
www.khet.com
$37.99 + $11.95
This would be a fun game to play with Aiden. They have extra beam-splitter pieces that would make the game a bit more interesting too.
Powerball Techno
www.powerballs.com
$47.99 - Blue
My sister got me one of the standard models a few years ago, but of course my kid was curious and destroyed it within a month of getting it. This one has a bad-ass LED marquee display on it. I promise to keep it out of the hands of the childrens.
A New Yo-Yo
You have a choice here, choose wisely:
Yomega Metallic Missile
www.yomega.com
$29.95 - Black
My Saber Raider is getting a little torn up around the edges, and I just broke the last string I had. I've been looking at the rim-weighted bearing yos for a while and wanted to pick one up.
OR
Duncan Mondial
www.yo-yo.com
$99.99 - Black
Honestly, I can't think of any practical reason to have the Mondial except that it is so frickin' cool.
Expensive Stuff
ScanGauge II Auto Computer
www.scangauge.com
$169.99
Ok, I'm pretty sure I have to have one of these. If Santa does not bring this for my I'm going to go up and strangle his tubby elf neck.
Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM
www.sigmaphoto.com
I rented a wide-angle lens a while back for the auto show and I fell in love with it. Very nice and versitle. I've been checking the reviews, and for the money it is either this or the Tamron 11-18mm. The Sigma is a touch cheaper and quieter (and I have other Sigma glass...). NOTE: There is no need to buy this one. I knew I was going to be the only one to buy this one too, so I picked it up today. Nice lens!
Lensbaby 3G
www.lensbabies.com
Someone mentioned that taking pictures with one of these things is like putting neons on a Pontiac Sunfire, but then again that person said I should buy a medium-format view camera and develop my own photos... blah blah grain of salt. I rented one of these at the same time as the wide-angle lens and just played with it for a few hours and had a lot of fun with it. So, pretentious photo nerds be damned, I want one of these. NOTE: There is no need to buy this one. I checked the online store and to get it shipped by Christmas I had to order it already. So if you want, just send me $270 :)
SanDisk Extreme III 8.0GB CompactFlash
www.sandisk.com
$379.99
My 2GB Microdrive is proving to be too slow. I can only shoot four or maybe five shots before I have to wait for the buffer to clear. I've tried a couple of other pro-series CF cards and I can shoot much faster, so I want to upgrade. I've researched it quite a bit, and the Extreme III cards are probably the best for what I want. I want an 8GB so that I just "never" run out of room.
Nintendo Wii
wii.nintendo.com
$249.99
It's time for a new console, the XBox is getting old and boring, and besides, I'd like to return to my Nintendo Fanboy Roots. I'm just not in to the whole PS3-hype and never really was interested in the XBox360 games. Nintendo games will always keep me busy, though!
