More Amazon wishlist shtuff
Alan Kistler now has a wish list but for some reason it isn’t search-able in their system the way mine is. Odd. Alan’s trying to fix that. It appears that Amazon has just restructured their Wish List system this weekend, with a new look and better functionality. If you don’t have a wish list, just…

New Enya album!
It’s been almost half a decade since her last album, so it’s about time! And yes, I like Enya. I know plenty of people like to sneer her name with the same loathing they reserve for Wal-Mart. I don’t care. I have never courted popularity.

Oh, Sulu’s gay? Now the Jedi are coming out!
First, there was the touching romantic comedy “Shining.” Then, the zombie virus movie “West Side Story.” And let’s not forget the horror blockbuster “Titanic.” Now view the trailer for the first gay sci fi (okay, second after “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century”).

Amazon wishlists (Part 1, I’m sure)
I think it’s always enlightening to peruse the wishlists of people you know. You learn a lot. Mine (though my wife has some items on it; all the psychology and decorating books are hers!) My art partner on Metro Med, Phil Meadows. Chris Arndt’s list. Alan Kistler doesn’t have one. Yet. I’ll post more as…
