acquisitions.

i need a new messenger bag. well. i guess i don't need one, i just want one. the one i have falls down on one major feature (no pocked in the flap) and one minor feature (no pocket for my ipod).

unfortunately, my real problem is that i have a pretty strict feature list when i look for a bag, and i don't think anyone makes one that i want *sniffle* the ideal bag would have/be the following:

- just big enough to carry an 8 1/2 x 11 notebook
- a cellphone pocket
- an ipod pocket
- a pocket in the flap
- a detachable key clip
- clip fasteners... no magnets. and definitely no velcro!
- a zippered pocket for holding pocketknife/zippo
- pockets for pens

i think that's it.

*sigh* still searching...
