Birthday List

My girlfriend asked me earlier today what I wanted for my birthday because a friend of ours had asked what I wanted so I figured I'd brainstorm a list and put it on here. Most of them are pricey so I don't expect to get any of those but hopefully I can think of some with a reasonable price.

• 300 by Frank Miller DVD
• Sin City DVD
  
• Kill Bill Vol. 2 DVD
• Office Space DVD
• The Replacements DVD
  
• The Office Seasons 2 & 3 DVD
• Heroes Season 1 DVD
• The Simpsons DVD (coming soon)
  
• Any Raiders gear (Cap, Jersey, etc... doesn't matter which player)
• Table Tote for my laptop
  
• Gift Card from any electronics store (i.e. Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, etc.)
  
• SAMSUNG 206BW Black 20" or if you are rich then I'd prefer (not that the 20" is cheap by any means :)) SAMSUNG 245BW Black high glossy 24"
• Playstation 3 (again if you are rich)
• Gears of War PC Game (although it's actually not coming out until the holidays according to this article)
• Microsoft's Zune - Had a chance to look at this the other day and I think it's a pretty slick MP3 Player OR iPod Video - More expensive but nice
• iPod Touch - I'm in love... screw the Zune and iPod Video. The best features are:
• WiFi - Watch YouTube videos, browse the web... what more could you ask for?
• Touch screen - Ah... touch screen goodness...
  

Having code design trouble

I've been trying to design a blogging system recently and have been running into some snags on my design. It may be due to the lack of knowledge for PHP development and/or web interface development. I'm attempting to take the MVC pattern and apply it to a simple yet powerful blogging system. I'm trying to design it where it will allow for plugins and themes (or templates) whichever you prefer. While I'm typing this I'm trying to think of how to design this type of system without getting in over my head on this. I'll probably run into some unforeseen issues which I really hate because some issues may require me to recode a lot more than I want. I know I want to stick to the MVC pattern and I see some of the user interactions that may occur but their may be more that I'm not aware. So I guess now the issue is my design good enough to handle such things. I really do hope so. Well... before I start coding again I think I'm going back to the drawing board...
