I don’t know the answer to that question, but if you’re looking to buy me stuff and avoid going to a mall, you oughtta go to my wish list on Amazon! It’s worth checking out, just for the novelty factor of having the Metamorpho collection followed by Jane Jacobs!
The official VM fiancee isn’t much more coherent in her tastes, as you can tell from her wish list. She’d sure be happy if someone got her that Complete Buffy DVD set. (On the other hand, I’m convinced she only put this on her list because it might get her closer to Ed Hochuli.)
It’s been a great year for smart comics, so if you’re looking for gify-buying advice for other geeks, you need to check out Tom Spurgeon’s Black Friday and Beyond Shopping Advice For Sophisticated Comics Fans 2005!
We spent Thanksgiving down in Holmdel, NJ, at the parents of Amy’s buddy Scott. Highlights (besides the food) included a college student who was like an idiot savant of the behind-the-counter dynamics of fast food (accent on the ‘idiot’), and a conversation at the other end of the table about how terrible “drugs” are.
We got home and watched the first part of Kill Bill, which probably won’t become a Thanksgiving tradition, but was a lot of fun.
