Because my friendslist really does know 42: I need some random recommendations.

First of all, I'm looking for interesting podcasts. I presume you know me well enough to know what I'm interested in, but I'm mostly looking for ... I dunno, discussion-y ones? Feminist and generally political podcasts and knitting ones, and interesting personal ones and stuff like that, rather than music-centered ones.

Secondly, in light of my impending birthday (and more on that later), Christmas, and New Year's, any recommendations on a printer/scanner(/fax/copier) combo? I'm looking for something that's available from Amazon UK, ideally in the £40-60 price range, so I can put it on my wish list and get it from my dad or something, and ideally ideally something with not-costing-an-arm-and-a-leg ink cartridges, although I'm perfectly willing to get down and dirty with those ink refulling kits if necessary, so yeah.

(Dear internet: please deliver my flight booking confirmation for Christmas already so I can stop wigging?)

So, my birthday. Considering my current mental state (which has stabilised at least, which is good, but isn't really consistently improving, and isn't likely to until after Christmas at least), I was thinking it's probably better for me to not throw a big party, and instead just have a few people over for food and drinks and general hanging out. There will be chocolate mousse, of course, and I will be sending out invite e-mails ... soon. Ish.

This one, by chance? :D That's the one I'm looking at right now.

Yes, it was either that one or the 180. And I think they're pretty much the same, except that the later model is a bit more expensive and maybe copies another couple of papers in the same time as the previous model. I think £44.99 is a really good price for it. :)

Yeah, I don't care that much about printing speeds as long as it's not insanely slow, really. Good to know this is a decent model! :)

I think most printers today are fairly quick. And you can even speed them up a little if it's something that doesn't require perfect printing by going for a lesse quality option. I do that if I'm printing tons of fic for reading. :)
