Bras
pants
undershirt
sweater
Milk DVD
and a couple books (the fifth book in the Mercy Thompson series, and a book on brain gender differences)

Most excited about the bras (OMG, I have bras that fit!) and the books.  (Although these are all pretty good presents, to be honest).

Coat
Shoes (well, money for shoes)
A hand mixer (yay, I can make cookies!)
A pair of snow boots

Some game called Munchkin

Still waiting for one present from someone extra special. ^_^

Forgot to mention my sister got an Indiana Jones hat this year, so I think she won as far as presents go.

Munchkin is alot of fun if you get a bunch of loons to play it with you. So...grab Excal and Magey and you should be set.

Zilch, counting things I bought for myself which doesn't really count. Unless you count the following:

- Mini-meet expenses paid by parents
- Passing my accounting exams with some coaching from my sister.

So yeah, productive Christmas this year was.

Munchkin is, a good game so long as you don't overdo it.  Lots of expansions too.

Not sure what's gonna be going on for me, since travel logistics means that there will be a ten minute window on Monday in which the family will celebrate Christmas.  Which meant that I spent the 25th with my dad, having a wonderful breakfast, and then watching a Big Bang Theory marathon before crashing early so that I could open the store on Boxing Day.

We'll just have to make sure we get everything done during that ten-minute window. It'll be easy, right? Right?

Munchkin is a silly game.  I'd actually generally prefer to play any of a number of games with a standard 52 card deck than play Munchkin.  But if you just want to play an easy-to-learn game, laugh at some very silly cards, and have plenty of opportunities to screw your friends, then Munchkin is perfect for the job.

-A badass new bike jacket
-Really nice new shirts (silk. tailored. Wearing that shit out for New Years'.)
-Civilization V
-Collection of international hot sauces

Really, though, more pleased with myself for what I picked out for others.

Mostly money, clothes and gift cards here, which I'm never gonna complain about. Also a few DVDs, some I care about, some I don't (Frankie Boyle/South Park), generic stuff (socks/deodorant/chocolates), Gamer's Guinness World Records, Clockwork Orange (the book), bottle of JD, a Pacman alarm clock and tickets to see Distant Worlds in London. Also bought myself an Iron Maiden CD. All in all, really can't complain. :) (Especially given the presence of Distant Worlds in that list <3)

I'm wondering if Clockwork Orange is more fucked up than the movie.
