What XOJane Editors Want for Christmas -- Julieanne's Favorites for Drunks and Geeks

I used to complain about the fact that a lot of Continental flights don't have wifi, and then I realized I should be glad. Because one of my favorite pastimes on long trips is drinking vodka and catalog window shopping, from the likes of Wired and Movieline and The New York Review of Books and of course, Skymall. Were I able to access the Internet on my airline of choice, I would probably have been evicted from my apartment by now, as my rent money would be in the pockets of Ma and Pa Criterion Collection.

One of the hardest parts about writing about entertainment for XOJane is that I love EVERYTHING. Sure, I like Antonioni and Chopin and stuff but I also saw "Zookeeper" in theaters (and paid for it a second time, on hotel pay-per-view). I think that Cher album with all the autotune is so good and I am the kind of sci fi enthusiast that fantasizes about having an entire room in my house dedicated to memorabilia like Guillermo del Toro and GRRM. See? Problems.

Please consider this, my wishlist, as the condensed version of my geeky, grain-alcohol fueled airplane catalog shopping.

  • A Super Nintendo and Vintage Games -- $49

    Shockingly, you can still buy these on Amazon. I know, I know, we all hate Amazon, but it's still a convenient place to buy used stuff. I love video games, obviously, and I have a mile-wide soft spot for the vieux jeux of my youth: Donkey Kong Country, Mortal Kombat, and of course, Battletoads (if it's in stock -- call and ask).

  • The Time Life Teen Years CD Superset -- $287

    I'm sort of obsessed with motown and doo-wop music. I know it's RIDICULOUS to spend this much money on a CD collection when CDs are Old and Busted and I could very easily steal it, but I'm an insomniac and I've officially been Stockholmed by the infomercial.

  • Dalek Projector Clock -- $40

    DUH. Duh of course I want this. If you need me I'll be outside, waiting for a shooting star to wish on so that I may lose my virginity in 2012.

  • Power Monkey -- $69

    The last time I was stranded in an airport, I realized that I am a dumb stupid idiot and forgot to bring any chargers or power cords, because I am basically the Mr. Bean of business travel. Luckily, the guy next to me at the bar let me use his Power Monkey, which looks and sounds filthy (right?) but is actually a portable electronics charger that hold up to 96 hours of charge. INSANE, right? Good to have on you if you travel and or are dumb.

  • Criterion Collection: Gojira -- $32

    Of course I want this. OF COURSE. I am a huge Kaiju fan and I love the Criterion Collection because I am an incorrigible film penis. There are so many new movies in the collection that I would buy if I didn't blow all my money on brass monkey and scratchers. Hitchcock! Lubitsch! "Fanny and Alexander!" "Rushmore!" PLEASE TAKE AWAY MY CREDIT CARDS.

  • Shark and Dinosaur Action Hoodies -- $42

    You bet your mature, grownup ass these come in adult sizes. RAWRRRR!

  • B&N Leatherbound Classics -- $20 Each

    Okay, again -- I am a huge supporter of INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORES where I shop with considerable spendy aplomb, but Barnes and Noble has done kind of a cool thing with these lovely anthologies. There's Dickens, Austen, C.S. Lewis, Bronte, Poe, Lovecraft… I love the design (gold and leathery! Because I secretly would dress like a mafia wife given my druthers) and they're so cheap and good looking. Just like you!

  • Moscot Theroux Glasses -- $225

    Someday someone will love me enough to buy me these. Or I will get drunk and buy them. Whichever comes first.

  • Polish Movie Posters -  $10

    These are so cool and cheap. (Are you noticing a theme here?) I'm moving to a new place, and I'm thinking of shellack-papering my bathroom with this one from "Aliens," because I am very weird. And Polish.

  • Classic Barware -- $19

    Sometimes I feel like XOJane's dedicated lush, but you can also serve Diet Cream Soda out of these. Incidentally, Diet Cream Soda is delicious. Some of the coolest looking whiskey sets are also very cheap; you can put them on a tin vanity tray on top of a credenza with a bunch of cool Italian aperitif bottles and it looks super chic. Yes, I said credenza, blow me.

  • A Case of Diet Cream Soda - $9

    What? I'm a simple girl.
