reminded by jonas, here's my christmas wishlist:

5. a guitar amp
4. my guitar action fixed/restrung
3. a kun shoulder rest for my violin
2. a camera
1. teeth whitening treatment

however, if i could ask for anything intangible, i'd ask for a longer attention span, or perhaps love with a sexy ghost (i would've said "poltergeist," but by definition, a poltergeist makes lots of noise and disorder, and in effect that's human love).
