My Christmas Subscription Renewal
I want to state emphatically that I have nearly everything I want except for an Audi RS4. The blue one. I feel that I'm more or less at a financial ceiling, where to start obtaining "things I'd like" as opposed to "things I need" involves, at least, a doubling of my net income. I'll get there. For the time being I'm content.
Purchasing gifts, conversely, is something of a herculean dilemma. Its all or nothing; either or. The stakes are high. Your affection & loyalty for a person is going to be measured in one, concrete thing, something even Sartre could objectify. You'd better deliver. Anything short is damnation.
There's little worse than that blank look in their eyes; a gift given that just doesn't quite fit, as if they can understand your woefully misguided or misdirected thought processes behind the gift which utterly fails to meet or exceed expectations. Its an image-bearing look that is given, mind you, a finite gesture analogous to God & the Church at Laodicea. Spit you out of His mouth indeed.
Xanax. Anxiety. Beads of sweat. Another Xanax.
You can avoid this by considering the following incremental improvements to my lifestyle:
Made You Look book of all of Stefan Sagmeister's work
Life as a Loser by Will Leitch
Marcholt Gruby a Sprosny poster by perhaps my favorite Polish designer Henryk Tomaszewski
Metropolis subscription
ID subscription
iTunes gift card
Spare Tire Cover for my Stella
Vintage Vespa Model Set
Authorized Stella Dealer Sign
Vespa Grand Sport Sign
Lambretta Sign
That's all I can think of.

Josiah, you should try out my christmas wish list site. Yes, it's a little cheesy, and in need of some design love, but it gets the job done!
Online Christmas List.
Oh, and did I mention that you can get an rss feed for your list?

Hey Josiah I sent you an audio Christmas present to your chattablogs email address. Should I have sent it to your other email? Did you get it?
