Wish List

How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint: $12.95. Go green! And 13 bucks is a small price to pay to help save the earth. Pretty illustrations make it an easier read. Definitely one of the first things I'll get once I start work again in 2 weeks.

Drinn: $10. I just got a new phone around a month ago. And I'm one of those super anal people who always keep the plastic protective wrap on as along as possible (my laptop is still protected by it's sticky plastic thing), and I also like to keep cords bundled up and tied up. I hate untying them, it's the first sign that your new product is being depreciated. So as of now, when I charge my cell phone, since the charger cord knot has yet to be undone, my cellphone sort of hangs a feet of the ground by a thread. Literally. So this would be nice. Also, even after I undo my cord I always have trouble finding the end of the cord/my cell phone. Drinn sounds pretty useful.

Cool Feet: $12.95. My laptop gets pretty hot. Also the elevated stance seems nice and easier on the wrists. However, my laptop has the rubberized grips on the bottom and it's placed (and shaped) in such a way where I cannot place the suction pads on my laptop. So I've been looking for some alternatives. None seem quite as simple nor as cheap. There's lots of coolers that "vacuum" out the hot air, but the vacuum is almost always located in the center. However my laptop blows off steam in the left hand corner of the bottom. Anyone know of any other cheap simple alternatives?

Wooden Tissue Box: $20. Probably would never get it. 20 bucks? I think it's cool, much cooler than my usual kleenex box, but definitely not worth 20 bucks. It's still awesome, and it'd be pretty classy to have.

Hybrid Wall Clock: $35.75. Go green! Neat idea. Creative. It'd be an interesting piece to hang up, great for Davis too. But a tad too expensive, and from my experience last year my clock will never display the right time (I never adjusted it for daylight savings, and once the daylight savings came around the second time, and once it displayed the right time, it shortly ran out of batteries), so it's pretty much useless.

Button Push Pin: $24.50. This is cute. I would also like a magnet set. I have a white board on my desk and I always need magnets. I don't use my bulletin board quite as much, but if i have these instead of tacks, I might use it more often.

Soapsicles: $8.50. This is super cute! Only it'd get gross after a week or two. I would just get it and never use it. It's also edible (actually, I don't know how much it is edible as it is non-toxic). So I think I'll stick with Dreyer's FruitBars.

Clocky: $50. After your first snooze, it runs away and hides before beeping again to force you to get up and find it to turn it off. It's so cool! And it's cute too. I really feel that I do need one of those. I have a hard time waking up in the mornings (I once was an hour and a half late for my opening shift!). But 50 bucks is a high price to pay. It's definitely innovative, but I do think that I need to learn to wake up on my own without chasing around an alarm clock.

Aarnio Bubble Chair: $4,000. Yeah, never gonna get this. But it sure is cool. But that's it. It would stand out like a sore thumb at my place. And an outrageously expensive sore thumb. It's too alien and techy for me, but it is cool to look at and marvel over. It would seem to be pretty inconvenient though. You would have to hang it from the ceiling, so it wouldn't be easy to move or adjust. It'd be hard to find other furniture to match with this. And for the ones that do, hopefully it will not be quite as expensive as this one.

I figured I'd end of an expensive, unrealistic note. But trust me, there's more things that I want. More to come.
