Lachie's birthday list.

People say that I'm hard to buy for. Well, I don't have any trouble buying for my self :)
Here are some things I actually remembered to write down that I like:

Crumpler Satchel or backpack

Very expensive – pretty cool, tho
I think I’d like to get a Salary sacarifice (the bag, not the action), or one of the camera bags
www.crumpler.com.au
these are way too expensive, but its nice to dream
