Is it too early for this? No way. It’s never too early to write to Santa. I’ve actually been composing a blog post about how really upset the concurrent election campaigns in Canada and the US are making me (so upset that I have been waking up with weird stomach cramps) but I can only spend about two minutes at a time on it because otherwise I go plummeting into despair. So to distract myself from despair, I have composed the following list entitled “What I want for Christmas, 2008 Edition.”
1. A Nigella Lawson cookbook. Either How to Eat or Nigella Express, but preferably Nigella Express because it has more pictures and we all know that the entire point of cookbooks is FOOD PORN. (Yesss! And now I will get a hundred hits to my blog from people googling for pornography featuring naked ladies covered in food. Hello, creepy weirdos! Thank you for making the internet a wildly uncomfortable place!)
2. A citrus reamer like the one my mom got from the Pampered Chef. Not only is it perfect for margarita making, it also serves double-duty as a self-defense device because it weighs approximately 57 pounds.
3. A pair of really good headphones.
4. A solution to my boy problem (problem being: boys exist and are stupid but I still want to make out with them) that does not involve celibacy.
5. A North America presided over by a team of kind, fair, benevolent, intelligent, democratically elected Philosopher Monarch-type people who just happen to agree with and enforce all of my opinions.
6. Another new X-Files movie. One that isn’t TERRIBLE. I know it is possible. I just watched Jose Chung’s From Outer Space. I know it is possible.
7. Somebody to go out dancing with. I miss going dancing with my Sassyladyfriends.
8. UNICORN. (Item 8 could also be combined with Item 7: A unicorn to go out dancing with. That would be quite acceptable.)
I know I can count on you, Santa! Don’t let me down!
Yours,
Xandra A.
YESSSSSSSSSSS! I’m not the only loser already working on their Christmas list! I knew I could count on you! You get a gold star for making my day.
Also, I’ve just discovered Cut Copy (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=CCRuCAcAZK0) and they are the best 80s new wave band to come out in 2008. I’ve been having dance parties in my apartment all weekend! And sometimes while walking the dog…downtown…on my way to the library…I fit in real well with all the loitering crazies that day.
you should consult lauren about your dancing crisis. she is a really good dancer and loves to go out. i will shake my booty upon occasion, but am not particularly coordinated. there is a lovely place near la brea and hollywood that has an awesome 80s night (i think saturdays?).
We are not losers! We just know what we want. I think that is a sign that we have our shit together.
Yay, dancing! Also, I think I have been to the place of which you speak near La Brea and Hollywood. I think I have been there on Goth Night. Shhh…don’t tell anyone I went to Goth Night!
i’m a secret goth. i have the black nailpolish, mesh shirt and everything. don’t tell.
