As always, I issue the standard disclaimer: I am not expecting gifts from anyone (okay, maybe my parents). I'm not going to be analyzing IP addresses to see who has looked at this page so that I can track you down and demand a gift. This is only to suggest options to those who would like to get something, and anything not on the list is still okay. Always place on level surface, all features optional, do not fly without umbrella.

CDs

I'm requesting that (if possible) music come used or burned. I am not particularly happy with the RIAA at the moment, and while my small boycott may not even register, it at least makes me feel better. And it brings CDs down to a halfway-reasonable price again.

• The Crystal Method - Legion of Boom
• Seal - "Human Being"
  "I'm Alive" single
  any other singles you may come across :)
• Banco de Gaia - Ten Years
• Ookla the Mok - any other than "Less than Art"
• Sasha and John Digweed - "Communicate" 2-CD set
• Arrogant Worms - any other than "Live Bait"

Books

Maybe I'm predictable... but at least I'm predictable.

• Tomato Diseases: A Practical Guide for Seedsmen, Growers and Agricultural Advisors, by Seminis Vegetable Seeds [$30]. Yes, it's a mouthful, but it's a good book.

And, since life is not just gardening:

• Tamora Pierce
  • Protector of the Small - First Test, Page, Squire, Lady Knight
  • Circle Opens - Magic Steps, Street Magic, Cold Fire, Shatterglass
  • Trickster's Queen, Trickster's Choice
  • Circle of Magic - Sandry's Book, Tris' Book, Daja's Book, Briar's Book

Other

• Pouring shield for Kitchenaid stand mixer [$20]
• Thomas Guide for Alameda/Contra Costa [$20]
• Good Eats DVD set (http://store.foodnetwork.com/home.asp) [$50]
• DVD of "Running Time" (Bruce Campbell)
• Soursap (soursop) black tea. I have found this on the internet, it may be available at stores that sell bulk teas. Make sure it has black tea in it; some soursap is herbal tea. If you can find it, plain dried soursap fruit would do as well.
