This is a list of odds and ends I would like to get into my hands. Or at least my Kindle!

Decades before the Asian martial arts boom hit the USA Donn Draeger, a US marine officer and veteran of WWII, studied in Japan and other nations. He documented what he found and brought not just incredible athleticism to his studies, but also a very interesting clinical detachment. In this book he extensively documents what he found in 11 countries around Asia. A fascinating document of it's time and still valid today.
One of my favorite books, this is the story of an old, dying woman of royalty who lived in a gilded cage her whole life in Heian Japan (9th century). She writes about her life and also the story of a cat that can take human form. Kij Johnson's writing style shows the good and tragic sides of life in this time, and you feel like you are there in the world of the main character. I lost this book (and my other Kij Johnson books) several years ago and want them replaced.
I want a nice, classy jacket.
Footy pajamas help me fight off the nightmare monsters!
This looks like a fun read. Warren Ellis is a great author. It would be nice if they had a text version instead of with pictures.
Weight plus the amount of calories to maintain that weight!
I need a cool new camera. Mine has no awesomeness.
