Merry Christmas!
« on: December 25, 2007, 05:09:34 AM »
Ho ho ho.  What are ya'll doing for the holidays and what'd Santa get you? *Eyes Ciato* Though some people haven't been good and only deserve coal in their stocking!

Seriously, happy holidays etc etc. I'm feeling much better today. Yay! What I've gotten so far-

-A trip to the doctor's. A big deal, since I don't have insurance and was very sick from the flu.

- 25 dollars in cash.

-5 dollars to McDonalds, 20 to Best Buy, 20 to Barnes and Nobles.

- A shirt

- Razors/toothpaste/toothbrush for the minimeet

-Candycane

-Dragon Quest Monsters

-An Alma SCC LP, courtesy of OK.

I still have christmas morning stuff as well. I'm excited!

Merry Christmas!

Basically all of my Christmas loot was gotten early December, but I'll list what I got through the course of the month.

- A Samsung cellphone

- A watch

- An alarm clock/pencil and pen holder (yes, it does both)

- A new shirt

- Culture and Psychanalysis, by Herbert Marcuse

- A new wallet

Yet to come, albeit through my pockets:

- A PS2

So, yeah. Plentiful and cool Christmas loot overall.

- A lack of need to do work, yay
- A brand new 27 inch television from my dad to replace the old one that stopped working. Counted as Christmas and Birthday present
- FFT Figurines from my sister for a Christmas present.

And I wanted to get myself a Wii for FE10 and a TV tuner. But the latter I got jipped on ._.
Ah well, still decent otherwise.

100 bucks, 2 gift cards, a new printer, some chocolate, and a new watch....after I bought one a month ago. Other than that, things are good.
Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Both volumes of R.R. Martin's Dreamsong (Score)
The Orange Box (score)
Money (Score)
Furniture for the house I'm moving into (Score).

Needless to say I'm exceedingly happy right now.  Not having to pay for a bed (and not just one I found at the dump or on the curb, either.  Ha-ha, take that!) = exceedingly badass.

Happy Holidays to everyone.  I'm going to go play Portal.  >_>

Quite a bit of loot this year. Let's see....

PSP w/ Star Wars bundle[I'd have been fine with just the PSP...]
Sonic Rivals[don't ask, I didn't even really want it]
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles[This wins, however]
Some shirts and sweaters and other articles of clothing.
A new toothbrush + dental equipment. I've actually been meaning to ask my parents about this for a while, so it works out.
A new mouse, wireless one.
Several dummy USB linkups. Dunno if I'll ever need them.
This really neat chinese-style document holder.
Several DVD-R's.
Several jewel cases to go with them.
Some spray shit that supposedly cleans out dust from keyboards. I don't trust it.
A hairbrush. Actually wanted this for a while.
A fat pack of Future Sight M:tG boosters.
Lots of candy that I probably won't eat.
A $10 gift card to the local video rental outlet

But the last present is the biggest of them all!

An all expenses paid trip to San Fransisco for DLCon3 ^_^

Overall a fairly badass Xmas this year.

Yay! More PSP owners is always good. Renegade Squadron is an alright game. Kinda easy, but fun enough for what it is.

150$~ cash(Actually I'm not sure how much right now, since most of it's not actually here yet. Since I'm saving for DLCon 3, I don't care really.), couple of nice sweaters and a coat, and finally a new ergonomic split keyboard to replace this one.

^_^ Works for me. I've got so much piracy going right now that I couldn't actually think of anything I wanted(Well, casually I'd like a PSP or a Wii, but...eh. No real drive there, and they'll always be cheaper later. ESPECIALLY the Wii.).

- A nice new shirt, a nice new sweater, a nice new scarf knitted by my mother in my school's colors (hoorah for the red and black, et cetera).
- A new wallet. Mine was falling apart.
- A few chocolates and candies.
- A daily calendar of cartoons from the New Yorker.
- Season 4 DVD of Homicide: Life on the Street. YES.
- Original cast recording of Spamalot. Should be fun, I've never heard it.
- A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Hosseini.
- A Library of America collection of writing by Saul Bellow (Herzog, Seize the Day, Henderson the Rain King).
- The Best American Nonrequired Reading of 2007. This is a great annual anthology of fiction and creative nonfiction. I love it.
- Dreamsongs Volume I, by George R. R. Martin. Woot!
- Art Out of Time, a collection of comics by virtually unknown authors from 1900-1969. So cool. My girlfriend gets so many points for this.

A wonderful assortment of gifts, all very much appreciated. I also took particular pride in what I gave to people this year. Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore and the new Ween CD for my brother, the first three volumes of the Suikoden III manga for my sister (she's just gotten into anime, and I'm trying to gently nudge her towards something of a bit higher quality than Naruto; of course, she already loves Avatar, and that's a great show, so she's hardly hopeless), C.S. Lewis's The Four Loves for my mother, and an up-to-date and illustrated edition of The Elements of Style for my dad. Sent my girlfriend a necklace: pale green amethyst on the end of a very fine silver chain. Hopefully she likes it as much as I like the book she got me.

Happy Christmas, all.

Wish list was fairly short this year - House of Leaves, since I've never read it and should, Song of Ice and Fire series, ditto, and Orange Box.

Scored 2.5/3, good stuff, but...   They got me A Clash of Kings.  And ONLY A Clash of Kings.  Yes, just the second book in the series.  No, I don't know either.  Yes, you may catcall for my not having read the series yet.

$70 worth of gift vouchers at JB Hifi (good store for music, movies and oddly games these days).  Probably get CDs.

Robot Chicken season 2 (little brother got season1)

Rogue Galaxy.  Cause I may as well ask for a game of some kind and the book I really wanted was not locatable (Palace by Katherine Kerr, probably out of print).

Assorted other stuff.  Scratch Lottery tickets that I continue to never win.

No problem with not having read ASoIaF yet Alex.  In a world with so much good things to read and a predaliction for picking up shitty books sometimes no one is ever going to have read everything that is alright.
