in addition to super-soft snuggy slippers, other things I got were a cashmere sweater, a nice shirt, an 'afghani' throw, toiletries including Schick 5 razor, magnetic fridge poetry, Anti-Monopoly boardgame that I won in a yankee swap (and that I put into the yankee swap). 72% dark chocolate, some other things I can't think of at the moment. oh yeah, bicycling clothing including three bike shorts and a high-tech windbreaker from my brother('s shop).

A $50 hat from my gf, a relationship book acted out through monkeys with said gf (just saw Rise of Planet of the Apes).
$20 best buy giftcard.
$25 AMC movie theater giftcard

That's it. I think I spent $150+ in gifts.

I bought myself 2 games on Steam for $6.
- Aliens vs Predator 2010 (or as I call it Duke Nukem in Doom 3)
- EYE (or as I call it Daikatana 2K11 with HL2's engine)

Mass Effect 2
The Awesome Indie Bundle (had Jamestown, Eufloria, Binding of Issac and a few others)
A new Pokewalker
$100 Best Buy gift card
$100 Kohl's gift card
The Critic - The Complete Series
Beetlejuice
Pee-wee's Big Adventure
The Legendary Pink Dots - Plutonium Blonde
Radiohead - King of Limbs
Tron Legacy Soundtrack
Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
The Chemical Brothers - Push the Button
Cake - Pressure Chief
Cake - Showroom of Compassion
Spice Rack
A bunch of stocking stuffers from my friends including tiny pocket knives, super glue, and a disc gun.

My friend who works at NoA got me the Pokewalker because I accidentally washed mine. The spice rack was kind of annoyingly filled with spice already (I wanted a place to store all the spices I already have), but oh well - free spice. This is probably the first time I've gotten a bunch of newish CDs only. The oldest is from 2004. Usually I get some classic rock thrown in there as well. I needed more new music anyway.

Sadly, due to my unemployment, all I got anyone was home-baked cookies. Lots and lots of cookies.

We returned a few things today and now I've got a new ring and more clothes. My mom had also tried to order me some MDR-7506 headphones (my favorite type ever), but they were back-ordered and the guy at Sweetwater talked her into some crappy-sounding Shure headphones instead. So now we're waiting to get those swapped out.

Yes, and it's band that you'll likely never hear about ever again for any reason whatsoever. If I were to ever have a conversation with the person responsible for this monstrosity through any medium, I don't know if I'd be able to bite back all of the insults I've prepared to deliver.

Congrads on the New home man.


Not yet but I'm almost there. I have enough money saved up but the realty won't sell me a house unless I establish a good credit score.

Laff, it's one of those montages of people's postings complaining that they didn't get some Apple gadget for Christmas? Listen to us geezers yelling at entitled youngsters. We're getting old. (the people in the image are still dumbshits)

It's saddening that those kind of young people actually exist. I don't even think sending them to Sierra Leone or Ethiopia for a few weeks would make any permanent difference to how ungrateful and spoiled they are.

I asked for a fucking giant meteor to smash into the Earth for Christmas and wipe out humanity, but I didn't get it. Fuck everything, and especially fuck my parents. Bitches can't do shit right.
