List

Cindy thought it would be nice if I made a list of all the stuff that I still need to get so that if by some chance it might magically appear. So, here goes:

• Fleece- Apparently good fleece is hard to come by in India and it will be greatly appreciated since the only heat in the winter is a wood burning stove or space heaters.
• Headlamp- Flashlight that straps to your head. Said to be great to have.
• Long Underwear- Cindy suggested Underarmor brand. It keeps you warm and helps wick away moisture.
• Scarf- One is supposed to be in the works. A fluffy sheep as payment.
• Sheets- The bed kind. Fit for a king.
• Electric Blanket- So I don't have to jump into a cold bed on frigid winter nights (with fuse)
• Moccasins- Mostly for lounging and keeping the feet warm. However, a nice pair with soles would be good so that I don't wear them out like I have with previous pairs when going on hikes outside. Sized 10, 10.5
  
• Backpacking Stove- I've been meaning to email the school about this one. I have a sterno stove but I'm not sure how readily available sterno is over there. Ideally I would get a single burner propane stove but need to ask if that size propane tank (with the right fittings) would be available. What we need is a store that sells propane and propane related accessories.
• Computer Bag- For toting my swag new laptop around (and probably lots of papers too).
• T-shirts- Plain, white. Like how I like my bread (not really).
• Socks- The regular kind for daily school use (dark) and thick, warm wooly ones for winter time.
• Down Vest
• Comic Books- A (not so) secret love of mine. The Marvel Essentials are pretty swag.
  
• DVDs- Because there's not a lot to do in Mussoorie they say and having some favorites (like SCRUBS or the pre-Special Edition Star Wars original trilogy) would be nice for days when you need it to feel like home.

OK OK... no more shameless begging.
