1) Socks. Really. My gym socks all have holes in the toes and droopy-ass elastic around the tops. And as my office gets less and less business casual and more and more plain-old casual, I find I need more dark cottony socks that look good with jeans and funky shoes. Aren't you glad you know this?
2) A new frying pan. I'm nobody's cook, but I make lots of egg-white omelets—and I've managed to scrape off the vast majority of the non-stick stuff in my only pan. So I need a new one.
3) A new cake pan. Not that I make cakes much at all, but the pan I have—a metal one that my grandmother had filled with baked goodness almost weekly from the 1950s until she died in the 1980s—is starting to leech off a metallic taste into everything baked in it. The thing is 50 years old. It's time.
4) A bigger condo with a washer and dryer and a second bedroom and a balcony. But I want to pick it out, so don't get me one.
5) A boyfriend. I'm partial to blonds, but that's not a requirement. Again, I'd rather pick mine out—if you don't mind—so don't get me one.
And that's about it. Except for one more thing. I want to make sure each and every one of you, my beloved readers, takes a moment to enjoy this:

I wonder what KITT would have to say about that pic.
Socks and kitchenware? Those are gifts you give your brother and your mother. Babe, you gotta think big and expensive! That's what brings the boyfriends!
Why resist it any longer, Jake? Love you. Love your work. Keep making me laugh outta my asshole!
My holiday season is complete now that I've been greeted by the Hoff.
I hear Sears has a special on for the holidays: Buy any of their name brand 2 or 3 bedroom condos, and they'll throw in a boyfriend for free. PLUS, if you use your Sears card, you don't pay until 2006.
socks are # 1? lol......
you are a dork jake, but so am i, and i'm blond.
Jake, I'm in the hair-color aisle at CVS (my usual colorist has already left town). Do you prefer an ash-blond or more of a reddish blond?
Oh, and do you mind if I bring along my current bf? He's already blond, if that helps.
:-)
Merry Christmas!
And a Scary Christmas to you too, Jake.
