grimm is apparently a greedy bastard, but since people are always asking him what he wants for Christmas and he can never remember, here we are:

• grimm likes to read, and would like to read Steven Levitt's Freakonomics! (thanks, Sweetie!)
• and Paul Wellstone's Conscience of a Liberal
• picture books are nice, too, and Brian Hayes' Infrastructure looks like fun... (thanks, Sweetie!)
• Bill Bryson's Bryson's Dictionary for Writers and Editors looks like fun (but probably only to grimm and about twenty other people on Earth, including you)
• who couldn't use another 500GB of storage?
• grimm's trying to be a musician again, and needs to re-outfit his studio; stuff gets old/software's no longer supported...
  • grimm HAD the earlier version of this (it makes editing music recordings much more pleasant), but something from the ceiling dripped on it years back, and it hasn't been right, since...
  • and we don't have a piano (yet), but this would do nicely for now... :-)
• more music! grimm and Sweetie like (among others):
  • The Beatles
  • Soul Coughing
  • Thievery Corporation
  • Björk
  • Frank Sinatra
  • Dean Martin
  • "Weird Al" Yankovic
  • Eileen Ivers
  • Natalie MacMaster
  • Kodo
  • Dada
  • The Candy Skins
  • the music of Gustav Holst, Percy Grainger, J.S. Bach, Palestrina, di Lasso
  • any recording conducted by Leonard Bernstein
• who can ever have enough golf discs?
  • a Super Stupid Soft Wizard would be delightful
  • Misker Mistavage and Kyles keep telling grimm he needs a Raging Inferno and a Raging Inferno DT
  • Sweetie and grimm need a set for night disc golf! (maybe a #1 Driver, a #1 Roller, and something else?)
• how much of a nerd can you be? you can be a nerd who likes books about intellectual property law
• any season of the X-Files on DVD, except Season Six (don't ask why we only have Season Six) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9. the movie was pretty good, too ;-)
• grimm and Sweetie love art! we love the art that our friends and family choose! pick some!
• grimm wouldn't mind a complete set of the seven Harry Potter books; we have #1, #2, #3, and #7 (we borrowed the rest); paperbacks are lovely...
• still in doubt? there are all sorts of house projects to do, so gift cards to places like Home Despot rarely run amiss. ;-)
