long-awaited loot post

• Bookends! I need about a dozen. The kind that I want are not the standard (i.e. institutional) version, like these:
  'cause they take up more space than I can afford to use.
  These are rather fancy, having come from Jefferson's personal library. But they are the right shape...
  Which is reflected in these, more modern (and obviously inexpensive) bookends:
  
• Earplugs! Something like this:
  ...is a bit more fancy than I was thinking. But perhaps there is something designed for noise-dampening, which would also be wearable by a side-sleeper (that's me!).
  
• A Waring blender.
  Nothing better to beat the fuck out of food. Preferably silver, but, hey - whatever!
• Paddywax candles:
  scented with limoncello. Which I would think would be uncontrollably flammable, but what do I know?
• Little white socks. The kind that you wear when running, that don't slip down your calves or make a tight ring around under your knee. The brand doesn't matter, as long as the logo doesn't overwhelm the socks. They're just, you know, little white socks. Like these:
  or these (Asics):
  or these (Nike):
  or these (REI):
  
• Monk, the television series, on DVD - season 4:
  and season 5:
  and season 6:
  
• Earrings. Funky silver hoops, garnet (or ruby) studs in white gold, oblong black pearls - anything!
• Glove Me Tender hand lotion from Bath & Body Works:
  'cause it feels like heaven on dry hands.
• Headphones. Something that doesn't feel like a pinecone stuck in my ears. I'd love Bose, but I'm also not delusional.
• Awesome bedsheets. High enough thread-count that they feel fantastic, but not so ridiculously high that they're slippery and borderline slimy. Queen-sized, with an extra pair of extra-large pillow cases. Some kind of fantastic, not Amyish color. C06? 90F? 000? [hee hee] (Those colors are here.)
• A date for NYE. The real deal.
• A Pittsburgh Steelers t-shirt. Preferably long-sleeved. I like this one, maybe in a large? I like 'em bulky:
  
• a decent cell phone & carrier. Ha! Like such a thing exists.
