$50 or less - the Christmas List that will never be fufilled

The following is a list of things I’d like for Christmas, as given to my mother. I made it very clear that not only was she to choose only one or two items, I didn’t expect a single thing for Christmas. At all. Ever.

1. Haircut from Bella Capelli/HeadQuarters

2. $50 Contribution to the “Buying an OS Upgrade” fund

3. $25 JetPens certificate

4. An N Wireless router

5. The “Glee” soundtracks (from Target)

6. Prescription sunglasses

7. Travelhoop from HoopNotica

OK, so GL ep1 equation: boobs that big aren’t bouncy + wear more clothes + drilling constantly would collapse the ceiling anyway = LOLWHUT? from twhirl


Gurren Lagann ep1: I have no idea what’s going on. Too many swirls and spinning. And drills. Is this about minor miners? from twhirl

Gurren Lagann: I feel like this bikini and scarf combo doesn’t make a lot of sense. from twhirl

LOL, I like to imagine that Japan is EXACTLY like anime. Makes my life more amusing. Wait, haha, what, PIG MOLES? This series is cracked OUT from twhirl


Watching the first episode of “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.” So far… there are explosions, which I like. And Kanye-level sunglasses, A+! from twhirl
