Nah, you don't geddit. It will be many random objects, not one random object. If I can find a good marble boar figurine, I'll put it there. And candy, probably. Have to find special candy, though.

Exotic marbles. Mechanical puzzles. A small Lego kit. Lots of dice. Book shop voucher. Board game pieces. Watercolors. Tiny empty bottles. Seeds. Origami paper. Tickets for some event.

Those are all pretty good. Of course, I plan to dedicate a day to just wandering about buying stuff, but this helps me get my expectations in order.

I sorta' kinda' collect those... whatchamacallits, death trinket things. Chunk of concrete from an incredibly bad car wreck, necklace from a town that got leveled by a hurricane... s'about it, so far, but as cool baubles go I count those up there a bit.

Maybe not the best thing to give someone as a birthday present, though. Shiny rocks in general I approve of, beyond that. Shiny things period, really. Really old stuff, if you can get it -- I got one of those (several hundred years old) giant ground sloth teeth laying around, and a couple of decade+ old bone die. That sort of junk. Also nice.

Just wandering through a few flea markets or somethin' can turn up lots of neat loot. Same for antique (junk) shops, if there's some in your area (there probably are). I've got a brass owl somewhere around here you could brain someone with. Brass cat with pointy bits, too. Assorted other baubles. Buncha' junk, really. But it's neat junk, and a fair amount of it I could put through a window (or a skull).

Guise guise guise. Tell me a cool small thing you would like to have. Like a watch, jewelry, whatever. A small object. It's just that a very close friend of mine has a birthday soon, and I thought I'd get one really pretty lacquered wooden box I saw earlier, and just fill it with random awesome objects, but I'm a bit short on objects. Tell me.

Rubies are nice, I have quite the collection of them myself,

You should get them a ruby

[Helgoland]

Imperial mints, or a similar British mint-like product.
A tiny screwdriver.
Incense.
A small package of cocaine.
A key with no lock.
A bent coin.
A fulgurite.
Many different beer caps, preferrably from foreign beers.
A small USB stick, containing roguelikes from the years 1993 to 1997.
A human tooth.
A garotte.
A praline, fancy, preferrably Belgian.
A small silver spoon.
A piece of hard cheese, old gouda would be good.
A piece of the eucharist, if you want to get truly weird. Post-transsubstantiation, of course.

[Helgoland]

Yeah, that too.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Maybe an earwax candle?

[Helgoland]

Perfect! Maybe there's some left over from all the smothering that went on a couple of weeks ago.

[Yoink]

Stickers?
A pack of novelty band-aids?
Finger puppets?
A chess piece?
Dice?
A fake moustache?
A pen?
Your credit card
Comic books?
An antique teaspoon?

A shrunken head?

Anyone knows of a good, free visualization engine, for strategies?

Something that lets you make a map with units and arrows, or something else?

Question: If a College music school requires an audition, and the college website describes the audition as "required to perform two selections from the classical repertoire" blah blah blah, would "selection" be referring to two different full pieces of music, or parts taken from either one or different pieces of sheet music? Like, would I need to play an entire piece by Bach or just a couple "parts" of Bach?

Yes. Map with units and arrows sounds perfect.

It would be more than perfect if it also had a zoom option...
