Because I have fun wanting stuff.

I've made too many "O: WANT" lists in the past. Sadly, I have nothing else to write about: school stuff is way too long to recount, I'm not feeling particularly emo, and I haven't really done anything fun lately except go to the Eraserheads reunion concert, but I digress.

Excuse the selfishness to come: at least you get to see some pretty cool, erm, items.

Yes, I want an iPod touch. Yes, there are... well, lots of them in school. Yes, it's sort of selling out (I did think about getting a Zune, but I need the screen). Yes, I might lose it. Yes, I might break it.

Who cares, though? I still want one anyway.

I've been needing a new music player for some time now (my aging Nokia N91 has a hard enough time being both a phone and my substitute iPod), and when I got my hands on the touch (I borrowed a lot of the ones I mentioned earlier, the ones owned by my classmates), I pretty much understood why so many people had 'em. It basically did everything you would probably need a portable media player to do (it does music and video damn well, while being pocketable at the same time), and it had GAMES. Er, that's actually just a side bonus, but still. WANT.

Now, to go with the hypothetical iPod touch, I need a good pair of 'phones. The Shure SE110s look pretty good: not saying I've used 'em, but based on what I've read, I should want them (block out noise very well, fantastic sound quality, best perfomace for the price, etc). Especially attractive since my current earphones came free with a bottle of Absolut vodka. Pretty pricey, though.

The other option would be one of these babies, the Panasonic RP-HTX7PP's. Supposedly they also feel and sound excellent, but my main reason for wanting them is the retro look. Don't know why, but when I see a pic of these headphones, I immediately picture myself sitting down and listening to some Eraserheads, which of course is a plus. Cheaper than the Shures too.

I also happen to need some new footwear. Shoes take too long to put on sometimes, I can't always wear sandals, and Crocs are sellout. Therefore I turn to Sanuks, which look cool AND are easy on the feet. This time I have the benefit of first-hand experience (though sadly I didn't have enough money to buy a pair at the time) to want these. I can basically use these wherever I'd normally wear shoes or sandals, and they don't mind water either. Again, WANT.

Lastly, glasses. I'm not saying the ones I have now are crap (they've lasted longer than any of my previous pairs, lol) but I really want those glasses that turn darker depending on how much sunlight is hitting them. It's hard to live without shades sometimes, hahaha.

Meh. Time to think of something else to write about.
