Rampant capitalism or Things I aspire to own

1. A bicycle that doesn't have anything wrong with it. (Like having no wheels, for example).
2. A blender or food processor. Or even one of those blender-y soup-pureeing sticks. (One that doesn't explode).
3. A sewing machine.
4. An mp3 player (A little birthday pixie tells me this wish will be fulfilled on Friday).
5. A DSLR camera.

I have come a long way, though. Two years ago my list would have included the above, but also:

1. A toaster.
2. Bookshelves.
3. Somewhere for guests to sleep.

Two years before that it also would have included:

1. A kettle/electric jug.
2. A coffee maker.
3. An alarm clock.
4. A digital camera.

Step by step I am reaching the 21st century.

PS: Things I aspire never to own:

1. A television. (Where would I put it?)
2. A mobile phone. (I am hoping that by the time I get with that trend they will have phased them out entirely and we'll all just have chips implanted in our heads).
