Once you've tasted it, that's all you want to drink.

I don't feel that I'm very materialistic usually, but oh boy are there times when my desire for stuff spikes into the stratosphere. I just wish it was a little more spread out, because this fall there are so many things I want and nowhere near enough funds to pay for them all. Usually when the holidays roll around my folks ask what I'd like and I have absolutely no idea. This time around...I think I'm all set. But this blog isn't really just about strategies for acquiring all the phat lewts I want; more just about all the cool little things that are going to excite me this fall.

• Son of a Witch: Volume 2. A big thank you to Heather for telling me about this one. Wicked and Son of a Witch are two of my favorite novels, so this one is a no-brainer. Comes out Tuesday, which means another week of not doing my readings for class. Awesome.
  
• Fallout 3. It's been a long time since I've really been interested in a console game and If I had a Wii I probably would have gotten into Mario Kart all summer, but alas, I went the PS3 route. Now, I'm glad for it. Fallout 3 looks amazing. Post-apocalyptic world. Completely choose your own morality. I mean really, you can do whatever you want to achieve your goals.
• Wrath of the Lich King. I don't even know where to start with this one. Arthas, the Lich King. Tons and tons of material for lore nerds. Northrend. November 13th. Midnight release.
  
• Quantum of Solace. The day after WoW's upcoming expansion drops, the new Bond flick hits theaters. I know some of you disagree, but Casino Royale is my favorite Bond movie ever. I keep hearing that it just ripped off the Bourne films and I don't really know about that, but I do know that I found Jason Bourne to be a pretty bland character. One of my favorite scenes from Casino was the shower scene where James just sits with Vesper and comforts her as she falls apart. This is a new, deeper and more emotional Bond. "I have no armour left. You've stripped it from me. Whatever is left of me - whatever is left of me - whatever I am - I'm yours." I'm sorry, but Craig > Connery, Moore and Brosnan. I try not to think about Dalton and Lazenby.
• JCrew. Seriously. I'm into clothes on and off, but right now the interest is definitely on and I love JCrew. I really, insanely like sweaters, hoodies and jackets. Oh and its quickly becoming the time of year for them. Honestly, I want this entire look. Gah I want new clothes.
