get an amazon wishlist… seriously

After shoveling some snow the other day, I’ve decided that I want/need a new winter coat. I know I already have a giant winter coat, but I want something a little more plain, I think. The giant “zero xPOSUR” thing on it is just a little too close to wearing a giant POSER (poseur?) sign. It’s served its term as a jacket, time to hand it down or something. I have no idea what kind of jacket to get. I don’t know brands really well… I guess I used to like those three-quarter/parka length kinda things. I should probably get something with a liner or insulation made out of some cool new material with a funny name like Microfleece or Polartec or Polarguard or Windbloc or PrimaLoft or Gore-Tex or DriClime; I don’t understand them, but they sound cool. I also probably shouldn’t put a coat on my wishlist without trying it on… so gimme some suggestions. What kind of jacket do you wear? What’s good? What should I look at? I don’t need one of these, so don’t bother suggesting it.

Speaking of wishlists, if you haven’t received a gift from me in the mail, it either means that I’m gonna see you when I’m back east and have something specific in mind or you don’t have an Amazon wishlist and I have no idea what you want, or some kinda combination of those two things and just plain forgetting about you because we don’t talk enough. I love my wishlist. I updated it and rearranged stuff today. Every time I have a little computer glitch, I move the Macbook up on the priority list. It was almost a year ago that I originally mentioned switching to a mac. The Dell was given a new lease on life, but it’s just a lease, and I’m an own kinda guy. I don’t actually expect anyone to buy it, but I added a note about Apple gift cards. So, yeah, make a wish list on Amazon. It’s fun and they have almost everything. If there’s a new wish list system that’s cooler than Amazon’s… one with unbiased comparison shopping and coupons and referral links built-in or something like that … let me know about it.
