What You'll Be Getting Me For Christmas-The TCM Blanket

TCM has fantastic programming themes every day & night. Tonight they're celebrating the films of Claude Rains, which means I won't be moving off my couch for a couple of hours (<---So this TCM Fleece Blanket would totally come in handy!). Claude Rains was a frequent co-star of Pop Colony ICON Bette Davis. Every picture they did was melodramatic gold! My personal favorite being Now, Voyager since make-overs always make for a good movie (unless Julia Roberts is in it). And the whole month of December is dedicated to Irene Dunne whose films with Cary Grant (My Favorite Wife & The Awful Truth-particularly) are among the greatest screwball comedies ever made. Not to mention that they'll be showing Holiday programming such as Christmas in Connecticut (Barbara Stanwyck), White Christmas (Bing Crosby & Danny Kaye), Holiday Affair (Robert Mitchum- it's so much fun to see a film noir icon in a holiday rom-com!), & The Bishop's Wife (Cary Grant being as charming as ever!). Did I mention that a nice TCM Fleece blanket would come in handy right now since it's 30F/-1C ?

What You'll Be Getting Me For Christmas-Gilmore Girls: The Complete Series

I really miss this show a lot. I miss the whip-lash inducing dialogue and the mother-daughter camaraderie that makes you want to call your mom. But I especially miss this show every time I see a promo for Heroes. Oh Milo how far you've fallen! You used to be on a show with something more important than characters with phenomenal powers and that's PHENOMENAL WRITING! Let's not also forget that this show also gave us Texan hottie, Jared Padalecki! Needless to say GG's contributions to the world have been numerous.

Unlike Buffy, I really don't see GG Season 8 coming to a comic shop near-you anytime soon. Though if it ever did happen I would look forward to reading a comic book the size of a phone book every month since that's how big the book would have to be to get all the Gilmorian dialogue that we know and love. A girl can dream, can't she?

What You'll Be Getting Me For Christmas-A Sequential Tart Tote Bag

I'll be the first to admit that I love me a good tote bag. They're easy to carry, spacious, machine washable, and look better than a backpack. So when I saw that Sequential Tart had some tote bags with art work done by some of my favorite artists I knew that I'd be adding them to my Christmas list. It's really hard to pick my fave but I think I've got to go with Cameron Stewart's because he's captured pretty much exactly the way I read comics. Oh and it's very pretty.

What You'll Be Getting Me for Christmas! *Updated*

The only good thing about Canadian Thanksgiving is that it means that I can start whoring my Christmas List in October.

When it comes to the Dr. I only do NEW WHO. And while I enjoy giving into my Anglophilia, I'm not that big of a fan of the show (please don't shoot me). But I do love it when fandom and home decor ingeniously collide (says the owner of a Yoda pillow). So when I went to my local comic book store, on a Sunday, and saw The Doctor Who Talking TARDIS Cookie Jar I immediately fell in love (Cue-'Love at First Sight').

Update- Kylie's going to be on the Doctor Who Christmas Special (Oh how POMEs love their X-Mas specials) !!! So i'll finally have a Kylie/Geek connection that doesn't involve the Locomotion. Yay!
