Things I'd Like That Don't Fit Into Above Categories

-drawing pads/sketchbooks, preferably larger than 8.5x11 (I draw BIG and need the space) but small enough to carry in a backpack or haversack easily


A lot of these are attempts to round out/finish my collections for game lines/authors... God, White Wolf must love me. I have about $300 in wishlist items from them. :P Pratchett is pretty heavy there too...)

I can safely say that, if Katie or I show up for your par-tay, it won't be till late afternoon/evening time frame. We're away to Kincardine from the night of Friday the 18th and coming home sometime on the 20th. Whether we show up or not depends entirely on when we get back to B-Town.

I love "The Rhinocerous Who Quoted Neitzche." Random, random, random. Plus, it reminds me of Katie.

I'll leave the RPG books to SimoB. He spent about $300 on your birthday last year... (Or was it the year before?)

The coolest thing about the first three movies on your list is that there's a good chance you could get them for less than ten bucks each. I might look into that, see what I can find.

I'm going to assume PlayStation, but what platform do you want Final Fantasy VIII for? If you have a PC that can run it, I could totally make a copy for you.

Final Fantasy Chronicles and Origins are on there. Do you already own Anthologies?

What size USB key are you looking to get? They're not cheap if you want massive amounts of space, but Katie and I each have a 256 MB key that cost us ten bucks each. If there's a specific size you'd prefer, that would be good to know.

[alexmegami]

I do already own Anthologies. (One of these days, I WILL finish 5...)

For the USB key, 256MB would likely be MORE than enough. I mostly want it so that I can easily transfer files back and forth between my computer and the home computer (or, I suppose, my computer and Patrick's). My music collection comes to 2 gigs, but I don't NEED to transfer that... PDF gaming books seem to average around 10-15 megs, so if it can fit a few of those, it would be wicked.

after your party, update your wish list so if I bring you a birthday present, I won't get you something you already got.

[alexmegami]

Will do :D

Oh! It's probably not kosher to tell you what I'd get you, but if you're interested, I have the first four of Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series, and I'd be happy to pass them on... if I can find them. Would you like them? ^^ It's either you or the used bookstore! (Flattering, no? ;)

[alexmegami]

I would love them, if you can! :D (And I don't mind being told, I beat Patrick if he tells me he's gotten me something and then won't tell me what it is ;)

Happy birthday!

I will be playing Changeling that night, but we should hang out at some point.

[alexmegami]

Aww. Well, dun worry about it, we will be seeing much of each other soon enough anyway ;)
