I Can't Come Up With A Title (Dragons Ate My Hard Drive Space)


I have a new addition to The List to announce! I have known it for some time, and just yesterday fully realized that I'll need an external hard drive to relieve my computer from some of the stuff that is clogging it up. The important part is that i want the hard drive to be small, handy and portable, it doesn't need to be a five terabyte monster.







----------

The Wishlist (updated!!!):






Essential, serious stuff:



Stick blender
Stavmixer
Sauvasekoitin

Won't need that many of them, I hope.




Crisp rye-bread
Surskorpor
Hapankorppuja

You simply can't find essentials like this in the UK




Money
Pengar
Rahaa

Quite essential.




Bicycle
Cykel
Polkupyörä

Might be best to give me money for this one. Quite difficult to ship.




Can opener
Konservöppnare
Purkinavaaja


The normal, sane, cheap version. I'm sorry Brits, but you've got this all wrong.
Or then I'm just too simple-minded for the fancier versions.






Pot (ha ha, very funny.)
Gryta
Pata

Might once again be better with money, quite heavy to take on the plane.




Cash
Fyrk
Mammonaa

I can't stress this enough.




Money for artist's materials (going to order markers online)
Pengar för konstnärsmaterial (tänker beställa tuscher på nätet)
Raha taiteilijantarvikkeita varten (tilaan netin kautta)

For messing around on paper.




Nice, sharp, big kitchen knife
Trevlig, vass stor kökskniv (eller förskärare)
Mukava, terävä, iso keittiöveitsi


Needn't be that fancy, but preferably one that actually functions properly.
The set of knives we bought isn't the best thing that has happened to us.
The knives are whetted so that the edge is askew, in a way we're not used to have knives,
so we find them really hard to use. What I'm trying to say is that in order to
cut something straight, you have to hold the knife at a strange angle.
We don't like that. The big knife from the set is impossible to cut harder things,
such as potatoes or carrots with.




Small, handy external hard drive
Liten, praktisk extern hårdskiva
Pieni ja näppärä ulkoinen kovalevy


Don't really care about the brand, preferably a quality one though.


Not so essential, but oh so nice stuff:




Bubble bath
Bubbelbad
Kylpykuplia

Because I'm worth it.





Books:





Watership Down
Richard Adams

Cute bunnies hopping around. Nothing more.




Abarat. Absolute Midnight
Clive Barker

Filled with nice illustrations.




The Witches
Roald Dahl

More lovely illustrations.




Fables vol 2. Animal Farm.
Bill Willingham & Mark Buckingham

Because I like Comics.




A Dance With Dragons
George R. R. Martin

I'd really prefer this cover, it would go together with
the rest of my collection. It's a paperback.





Nerdy section:



Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Intense game of investigating and winning legal cases.





The World Ends With You

Heard it's one of the best games for the DS.
Action-packed role playing game with a great story (i heard)





Professor Layton and The Curious Village

Intelligent and unique puzzle-solving game with an outstanding gameplay.




Bastion

Downloadable from Steam.
Beautiful, unique adventure game with flexible gameplay.




Terraria

Downloadable from Steam.
Do what you want; craft items, explore, build, and hunt.






And the most important section - Sweets:

Something I've been longing for, these won't need explanations.




Dumle



Fazerin Sinivalkoinen
Blåvit Fazer


After Eight




Tupla




Angel-chocolate
Änglachoclad
Enkelisuklaa





Mulled wine concentrate
Glöggconcentrat
Glögitiiviste





Would be nice to be able to drink some back in England even after christmas. . .



Last but not least:


Would be nice to get some visiting relatives and family members here
to fill the fridge with nice expensive stuff such as cheese, meat, cake,
chocolate pudding, cheese, meat and pastries.


No pressure.

(Of course it would be nice to show other parts of the house also.
If lucky, I might even show something else than the supermarkets over here!)
