 ====== Celti's Wishlist ======
-===== Specific Items =====
+~~NOTOC~~
-First up, these are individual things that have caught my eye. They are //roughly// sorted in order from “want most” to “want not-quite-as-much” — but that phrasing is deliberate, I would be very happy with any of them, or just anything off the [[#Perennial Favourites]] list.
-  ? A subscription to //Pyramid Magazine//
-  : Or more precisely, a [[http://www.warehouse23.com/products/gift-certificate|gift certificate from Warehouse 23]] in the amount of $20, $40, or $70 so that I can extend my current subscription by 3, 6, or 12 months. The W23 store is the only place to acquire/extend a subscription and they don't allow specific gift purchases, only gift certificates.
-  ? Portable hard drive
-  : A USB 3 external hard drive/backup drive, at least 1 TB (more is obviously nice). USB-C is acceptable but //not// preferred. The [[https://smile.amazon.com/Black-Passport-Portable-External-Drive/dp/B01LQQHI8I/|Western Digital My Passport 1TB]] is cheap and reliable in the category.
-  ? The Black Blood of the Earth
-  : The [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/brands/BBotE.html|Black Blood of the Earth]] is the //best// coffee I have ever tasted, //bar none//. There is their [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/goat-of-science-1000ml-bbote.html|1000ml “large-size” bottle]], a [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ten-50ml-test-tubes.html|modestly-priced sampler pack of their typical varieties]], another [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ii-the-limited-runs.html|identically-priced sampler of their limited runs]], or a [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/blood-of-the-harpy-750ml.html|special edition 750ml bottle]] I'd really enjoy.
-  ? Iced tea jar
-  : A classic sun tea jar (vintage not required). Glass, not plastic please; a spigot would be nice but is not required.
-  ? SodaStream
-  : Either the Fizzi™ or the Source™, plus as many of the bottles, CO2 cylinders, and flavour syrups as you're willing to tack on (for flavours: Cola, “Fountain Mist”, anything citrus or cranberry).
-  ? Cold brew coffee pitcher
-  : Something reasonably large (at least a quart) with a built-in filter basket and decently-sealing lid.
-  ? The DEFCON soundtrack CD
-  : Subtitled “Fear — Madness — Loss”, I'd love to have this soundtrack to the game DEFCON in CD format. I've already got the digital-download version of it, which is somewhat different — I'm now looking for the three-track version, ideally on CD or in FLAC format.
-  ? Shure RMCE accessory cable
-  : It's a spare cable for my earphones that adds a microphone and remote control to them.
-  ? New Nintendo 3DS X
-  : The “new” is part of the model name, not just “I want a new one”. Any colour is fine.

 ===== Perennial Favourites =====
-  ? <span #clothes>Clothing</span>
-  : I'm hard enough on clothes that I'm perpetually in need of new ones.
-    ? Pyjamas
-    : Lounge-and-sleepwear in soft and light fabrics with long pants. Beyond that, I don't care so much about style if they look cute.
-    ? Shirts
-    : Long– or short-sleeved button-ups, dress shirts, blouses, sport shirts, or similar tops (no polos, please!). I prefer fairly loose and flowy garments. Between 2XL and 3XL (size 20 neck), “tall” sizes preferred.
-    ? Trousers
-    : Black or grey slacks; again, loose and flowy garments preferred. 42” waist, 34” inseam (in women's sizing I should be about a 21).
-    ? Socks
-    : These [[https://www.utkilts.com/black-kilt-hose/|knit hose from UT Kilts]] are absolutely the //best socks I have ever worn.// They’re cool in the summer, warm even wading through the snow, have enough padding to prevent blisters and just flat-out //comfortable//. I linked the black ones, but they also have a variety of other colours — I'd be happy with black, grey, cream, or green.
-    ? Underclothes
-    : Soft t-shirts of any variety (pocket Ts, long sleeves, &c.), 3XL or 2XL “Tall”. Knit boxers or boxer-briefs, in sizes matching the trousers above. For either, solid colours or subtle patterns, please; preferably dark.
-    ? Overwear
-    : I'm finding myself in need of a new coat with more elegance than a hoodie. I would //adore// one of these [[http://trove.shop-pro.jp/?pid=108048769|modernised haori in wool and ventile]], but I realise that the cost and shipping probably puts that out of reach. A simple canvas duster would be great as well (wool and leather are unfortunately too hot for our climate).
   ? Drinks
-  : As always, any beverage you think I might find interesting: I like mead, hard cider, whiskey, absinthe, some liqueurs, and exotic teas and coffees.
+  : As always, any beverage you think i might find interesting will be appreciated. In general, i like teas and coffees (both exotic and ordinary); ciders, ginger beers, and root beers (both hard and soft); whisk(e)y, rum, mead, gin, absinthe, and a variety of other spirits, liqueurs, and cordials.
+  : Some specifics include:
+    ? The Black Blood of the Earth
+    : The [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/brands/BBotE.html|Black Blood of the Earth]] is the //best// coffee i have ever tasted. There is their [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/goat-of-science-1000ml-bbote.html|1000ml “large-size” bottle]], a [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ten-50ml-test-tubes.html|modestly-priced sampler pack of their typical varieties]], another [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ii-the-limited-runs.html|identically-priced sampler of their limited runs]], or a [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/blood-of-the-harpy-750ml.html|special edition 750ml bottle]] I'd really enjoy.
     ? Mead
-    : Honestly, a lot of commercial mead is crap — all of my particular favourites are home-brewed. If you happen to have some, or you think you've found something commercial that's good, though... I'm always up for a pleasant surprise!
+    : In the interests of honesty, all of my particular favourites are home-brewed. If you think you've found something to match, though, I'm always up for a pleasant surprise!
     ? Whiskey
-    : I'm mostly fond of Irish whiskey, although my favourite is Penderyn Welsh Whiskey. Scotch is good if it's not too peaty.
+    : I'm mostly fond of Irish whiskeys, although my ultimate favourite is [[http://penderyn.wales/|Penderyn Welsh whisky]]. Scotch is good if it's not too peaty (definitely no Islay malts, please!).
     ? Liqueurs
-    : Irish Mist is always a solid standby; Drambuie is fine; Bushmills Irish Honey is pretty good; Ballotin chocolate bourbon is strangely incredible. I like a //very// wide variety, though — feel free to surprise me!
+    : Irish Mist is always a solid standby; Drambuie is fine; Bushmills Irish Honey is pretty good; Ballotin chocolate bourbon is strangely incredible. Baileys will be used in coffee in place of cream and sugar, and be gone within days. I like a //very// wide variety, though — feel free to surprise me!
     ? Absinthe
-    : I'm a sucker for good absinthe. I'd particularly like to try [[http://pacificdistillery.com/index.php/our-spirits/pacifique-absinthe|Pacifique Absinthe Verte Supérieure]], made and bottled in Washington.
+    : I'm a sucker for good absinthe. Currently, i'd particularly like to try [[http://pacificdistillery.com/index.php/our-spirits/pacifique-absinthe|Pacifique Absinthe Verte Supérieure]], made and bottled in Washington.
     ? Hard cider
     : I'm fond of both Woodchuck and Angry Orchard, especially their seasonal or special varietals — I'd be especially grateful for a bottle of each (or just any!) cider in their [[http://www.angryorchard.com/our-ciders#Cider-House-Collection|“Cider House Collection”]].
   ? Gift cards
-  : If nothing else gift cards and cash will always be spent, particularly [[https://secure.newegg.com/GiftCard/EntryScreen.aspx|Newegg]], [[https://play.google.com/intl/en_us/about/giftcards/|Google Play]], [[https://www.amazon.com/gift-cards/|Amazon]], [[https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/gift-cards/|Barnes & Noble]], [[http://www.warehouse23.com/products/gift-certificate|Warehouse 23]], or Fry's Electronics[(frys>In-store only, alas. You'd think the premier electronics store would join the digital age already!)] — or just [[https://giftcards.frysfood.com/|Fry's grocery]], as the car is always hungry for gas.
+  : Gift cards will //always// get spent, of course. If you want something you know i'll particularly enjoy, consider:
+    * [[http://www.warehouse23.com/products/gift-certificate|Warehouse 23]] (gaming books and games!)
+    * Fry's Electronics (in-store only[(Alas, you'd think the premier electronics store would join the digital age already!)]) or [[https://secure.newegg.com/GiftCard/EntryScreen.aspx|Newegg]] (electronics and other goodies!)
+    * [[https://play.google.com/intl/en_us/about/giftcards/|Google Play]] (books and music!)
+    * [[https://www.nintendo.com/giftcards|Nintendo]] or [[https://store.steampowered.com/digitalgiftcards/|Steam]] (video games!)
+    * [[https://www.worldmarket.com/product/gift-card.do|World Market]] (all sorts of fascinating foods, drinks, and various tchotchkes!)
+    * Or even just Amazon, a Visa card, or simply cash, as I am //perpetually// broke.
