The Christmas Rake-in

Post by |darc| »

From sister and brother-in-law...
  • Pink Floyd pajamas
  • A travel bag
  • A picture of the three of us at their wedding, in a frame
From the parents...
  • Pink Floyd sweatshirt
  • "Ain't got no time for jibba jabba" T-shirt
  • South Park: The Complete Second Season
  • Futurama Season 2
  • Futurama Season 3
  • Live 8 DVD
  • A benny
Evidently they thought "Jeeba Jabba" is Jibba Jabba, like many others seem to think...

I'm pretty happy, considering the financial circumstances right now. Actually, I'm mad, I wish my parents hadn't gotten me that much.
It's thinking...

The traditional eve-opening: I got a copy of Distorted Morality, a DVD of a Noam Chomsky lecture about post-911 things.

I got a couch at the beginning of the month from my dad, and $25 last week from my fiancee's grandma. As for the rest, I'll find out tomorrow, although I know I'm getting Dragon Quest VIII from my fiancee and a roll-away island for the kitchen from my mom.

Well I just got back from a Christmas Eve party. I got presents from cousins, aunts, uncles, the works.

Queen - Live At Wembley DVD
CKY - Infiltrate-Destroy-Rebuild
HIM - Dark Light

2 Best Buy gift cards, 2 Walmart gift cards

10 pack of CDRWs

A Kiss t-shirt (I hate kiss, I might take it back), a Washburn university t-shirt, a Rolling Stones hoodie, and a Napoleon Dynamite "You gonna eat your tator tots?" shirt, which I may be taking back as well. Napoleon Dynamite is just beyond annoying to me now.

  • A fake gun that shoots fake darts
  • A bouncy ball thing with little rubber tentacle wierd things, bouncy?
  • Peanut Brittle
  • A nice button down shirt with t-shirt
  • 3x Chapstick
  • A t-Shirt that says "I [heart] Hot Moms"
  • A nice Cherokee brand sleeppants
  • A nice Joe Boxer brand sleeppants
  • A thing of black socks
  • A nice backpack
  • 0.5 oz of Gravity after shave
  • Beck-Guero CD
  • SOAD-Toxicity CD
  • Aspen cologne
  • Some types of coffees
  • $85 in cash from family
Well, that is the ones I can remember...

Going to my Aunt's on 01/01/06 for Christmas there. Well, toodaloo.

here we celebrate Dec 6th as well as three wise man's day. i'm sure it's the same thing as it's the last day of the 12 days of christmas. The way my family does it is that the 25th we get the solid or big presents, then on the 6th we get all little bits and bobs and whatnot. havn't checked out the swag yet.

Game-wise I got:

FF8 (PS), FFX (PS2), Mario Kart DS (DS), Castlevania: DoS (DS) and Mario Golf (GC).

I tried Mario Kart online and it worked right away. I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 router.

It finds the router sometimes (one time in four?), if I'm sitting right next to the thing. Otherwise it doesn't find it at all. It thinks the connection is WEP-encrypted, even though it isn't. When I try to connect, it just fails after anywhere between two and five seconds (approx.)

I got a new set of speakers/woofer for my PC, the usual socks, etc.. Starfox Assault (GC), Metal Gear Solid (GC), $100 from my grandmother, and the usual assortment of chocolate.. ;) I'll most likely be putting that $100 toward a DS+Mario Kart.
