all i want for christmas is...

1. a right cross that's as strong as my left jab
2. a professional reliable -- and ultracool -- internationally based booking agent
3. a residency somewhere in the city that will force me to play out every week
   
4. a lost weekend with my permanent boyfriend
   
5. a great recipe for chai tea
6. waaaaay more upper body strength, so i can stop struggling to do push-ups
   
7. to be a practice body again, for another pilates instructor-in-training
   
8. to refine the rough mixes for the black country rock album
9. to get these brand new batch of songs out of my head and onto garageband
10. to be able to run a mile in less than 9 minutes -- comfortably
