Wishy washy wishing

Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
– Washington Irving

Skrymta challenges me to write a wishlist. With nothing less than 7 wishes.

Reading his nicely written list I feel inadequate (in short: patience, friends, sleep, debate, a new kitchen, tech that Just Works (TM) and a cool haircut). Sigh. Though I do have a cool haircut. But still.

Ok, so here goes. In no particular order.

• Invest more in my hobbies. And I don’t mean more money, no. I mean more time (and effort?). This means take more photos, read more, possibly blog more. (And maybe code more. Or maybe code less. Dunno.) And strive to do these things better, which hopefully will lead to more satisfaction (and fame and money, of course).
• More time. If only there were more hours in the day to invest in the above stuff. For example, it would be useful to not need sleep. Alternatively, a guaranteed lifespan of at least 3000 years might work (yes, my to-read pile is that big).
• Own my own company. Probably something related to the internet. Maybe a nice cafe with free wifi. Or both.
• An Eames lounge chair.
• Learn German. For all the obvious reasons. See above on having more time.
• Speak and write better English. See above on blogging more. Not forgetting my Spanish would be nice, too.
• Remember to recharge my cell phone. Given that this is the only phone I have, it would be really useful if it actually was on most of the time.

And now, the dreaded nomination moment. Because no blog meme is complete if you don’t inflict it on your favorite bloggers, I’d like to read wish lists from: RinzeWind, Su, Helga (see above on learning German) and dalr. Thanks in advance.

A list by Warren Ellis would be a wish come true, but I don’t think he is reading this. Oh well.
