11. Eee-vil.

Me likey.

I used up all my good gift ideas for flvegan's b'day. He got a World Series Red Sox uni of that-one-guy-he-likes (the riverdancing guy, I forget his name already) and some vegan donuts and chocolates. And the card with Bush and Cheney doing the brazillian joke, which I saved for six months I was so excited about giving it to him.

So far for giftmas I only got him one small thing. He'll like it, but it's not enough by itself.

5. An Olympus E-3 dSLR with the 12-60mm lens and the FL-50R flash

If that's a bit too pricey, you can eliminate the flash.

So that should redeem me.

In seriousness, I dig Drakkar Noir, a new 320GB hard drive, Logitech MX mouse, and a cooling fan.

Got 'em all today. The HD's discount alone allowed me to pay for the mouse, which was 50% off. :9

I told my girlfriend not to give me anything. All I want for Christmas (or any time of year) is her.

EDIT: wanted to add that I didn't put an evil grin because there's nothing evil about sex and there's nothing wrong with wanting it. ;)

41. Yah.

As a Twins fan, the Torii Hunter thing really hurts, but as a baseball fan living near Anaheim, it is sure going to be fun to watch Torii patrol the center field fence.

Didn't the Angels just sign Gary Matthews Jr. to a long term and high buck deal? Do they plan to move him to left field and keep Torii in center?

43. That is exactly the plan.

Garrett Anderson will most likely be the full-time DH. Also, this gives them the flexibility to play Guerrero at DH occasionally.

Volumes 6, 7, 8, and 9 of the Preacher Trade Paperbacks, a case of Crunchie Bars, a case of Irn Bru, and Season 3 of House on DVD.

And underwear. Can't forget underwear.

However, a bottle of the 2005 Chateau Taris Bordeaux Like the one I bought at the People's Village at the Tour de France in London this summer, I would be in heaven.
