It would be nice if I could be the smug, self righteous boho I sometimes wish I could be, but deep down, we all know I can be a materialistic hag and potential gadget freak too. Unfortunately, I like having *things*. These Things will be my downfall, I'm sure.

Since all I can do is wish and look, I'm documenting my wish list, one item a day until Christmas. Most of these, I'll probably own by the end of the year. /sigh

#1 The Canon PowerShot SD800 IS

I have a camera.. a 3.0mp Canon A70, which was awesome for me at the time I bought it. I have it with me right now, weighing down my messenger bag. But when I bought it, I knew that digital photography was still pretty young and that there would be bigger and better… well, maybe tinier… gadgets soon. I go back and forth between wanting a digital SLR or a really smart and compact point and click. The point and click won, because it'd be something I can always carry around. Digital image stabilization is also sexy for when I take wild, death-defying action shots of my cats.

Mad caps is probably the coolest retail shop in downtown St. Kits, if only for their funky window displays that always manage to cheer me up whenever I walk by on my way to get lunch. Today, I ventured in for the first time, an idea in my head to get my 3 year old nephew something funky for Xmas (and I really hope my sister and brother-in-law aren't reading this right now!). I took a look around and dug on so many of the hats they had on display. If I hadn't just purchased a freaking Emily Strange kitty ear toque last weekend, I would have bought one of their adorable kitty eared hats for myself. That and the fact that I really like the hat I already bought, even though it is Emily (anti-Emily here, boo hiss!) kept me from shelling any money out for yet another kitty ear knit hat. They had other styles of toques and poor boy caps which made me think that people don't wear hats as often as they should. I think if everyone owned and wore a silly hat, the world would be a better place
