It seems everyone on my friends list is doing the Christmas-wishlist meme thing, and as I am an unthinking lemming, I shall do it as well.
Non-books:
I heard a track on Keiichi.net Radio that was a Japanese version of a Queen medley. It was so utterly random that it made me giggle insanely, and I'd love the mp3, if anyone has a clue what or where it is. This is the info from the site: Track - Joousama - Joousama Monogatari; Vocal: Joousama; Album: Joousama Monogatari I haven't been able to find out anything else about it.
Fanart, especially of Death Note (Raito, L, Matsuda), Inu-Yasha (Sesshoumaru, Miroku), the Saiyuki boyz, Yu Yu Hakusho (Hiei, Kurama), or, hell, anyone you like from anything you like.
Art or fanart I can print out at a decent resolution and hang up in my office cube.
The first Revolutionary Girl Utena OST to replace mine, which went walkabout.
Doujinshi with good art, or links to same. Preferably of my current favorite manga/anime series (Death Note, Yu Yu Hakusho, Saiyuki, Inu-Yasha, erg ... lots of current manga, actually. Just ask if you're unsure. :)
A link to a Venture Brothers torrent that is currently being seeded (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chibipoe gave me one earlier, but the three seeds stopped after I got about 20% of it downloaded. Arg.), or copies on CD/DVD (*looks significantly at mundeemo).
Notification as soon as someone sees a torrent for Howl's Moving Castle.
This CD. (Heather Alexander, Uffington Horse)
Acouple lot more hours in the day.
Books:
Interesting nonfiction books. I have wide-ranging interests, so I can't really pin down any particular subject. Books on animal and human behavior interest me, as well as anthropology and archaeology, and popular psychology and neurology books (as opposed to the heavily scholarly ones, not in the sense of self-help, which tends to make my eye twitch :). But just about any subject, actually.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. Mystery, with the main character being a 15-year-old autistic boy. (Mom heard about this and recommended it to me, thinking I might like it.)
Nonfiction books on autism and Asperger's Syndrome, actually. I've read American Normal and a couple of biographies here and there, but interesting ones (or even recommendations for interesting ones) would be good. This seems to be one of the centers of coincidence in my life at the moment - an online friend has been officialy diagnosed as being on the spectrum, I'm working on a doujinshi with a couple of others that has a character that has traits associated with Asperger's, and I found out this weekend that my 5- or 6-year old cousin has just been diagnosed as being somewhere on the spectrum, but nobody's going to say where until he's older and his brain has stopped developing quite so fast. (He wasn't any different from any kid until about 18 months, when his verbal development stopped in its tracks. From what I understand, and I could be wrong, he's picked it up again and is continuing to develop, but is still not age-normal for whatever value of "normal" you have.) So life has been throwing this at me from three different directions, and I'm therefore even more intrigued by it than usual at the moment. My cousin might be diagnosed as something else later, since he's been diagnosed with a million other things, but in my non-expert opinion, I think this one might stick.
Books in which a fantasy strand is woven into and alongside non-magical life. I usually see these in books set in China, like Jeanne Larsen's Bronze Mirror, Manchu Palaces, and Silk Road. I've read a lot, though, so you'll want to doublecheck if I've read something first. :)
A copy of Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth and its follow-up, Testament of Friendship. I think they also come in an omnibus edition, but I'm iffy on the title.

What's most interesting about it is that after a while, the relentlessly mundane life of the housewife heroine starts seeming more magical than that of the fantasy princess she's imagining/creating/communicating with,

There does seem to be a lot of it around.

This is completely apropos of nothing, but I'm watchng the BBC program "Vets in Practice" on PBS as I'm checking my email and LJ and the vets are removing a small fish stuck in the throat of a koi, and they have to anesthetize it. They do so by bubbling anesthetic gas through the water, but the concept of anesthetizing a fish is just sort of mind-boggling. (They have to do so to keep it from thrashing as they pick out the smaller fish from its throat.)
The patient recovered with no ill effects.

I found out I was lactose intolerant shortly before lactose intolerance became the sexy diagnosis and for a few years there, every time I was in a discussion on Usenet and said that I was lactose intolerant, someone would earnestly explain to me that I probably wasn't, because nowhere near as many people had it as thought they had it, and link to various studies about it. I'd have to explain that I had an official diagnosis from an actual doctor about it and I was well aware of the true symptoms of lactose intolerance I've run into people who think that the sinus problems milk can produce is a symptom of lactose intolerance, and I have to gently break it to them that no, that isn't it, but I'm enough of a wimp that instead of telling them that it's a normal reaction to milk, I tell them they could have a milk protein allergy. :) People are so adamant about their self-diagnoses...
Time to stop babbling...this Goku icon really is appropriate, isn't it?
