Stuff I Want


You can tell a lot about a person by what he has, but you can tell even more about him by what he wants. (I'm not sure if that's something someone once said, but it sounds like it might be. Even so, absent compelling evidence to the contrary, I'll just assume that I came up with it all by myself.) Not too long ago, I discovered a way to share the particulars of my greed: the amazon.com wish list. Of course, I want a lot more than what I have on my list, but I'm only getting started. What does this wish list say about me? I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect that whatever it is, it's nothing that a few years of intensive therapy and a long course of powerful psychotropic drugs wouldn't help.

 

Here's what I want (or at least the stuff I want that amazon.com carries).
