Christmas Loot
Another Christmas come and gone, and now I have a lot of cool new stuff. I guess I’ll run down the list of loot in approximate chronological order. First, my mom and Ralph gave me money to but a new TV with a couple weeks ago. I plan to do that this week. Last week, Jason and Stacey gave me a GameShark for PS2. On Sunday, my dad and Mary, my step-mother, gave me a set of dishes, a gift card to Best Buy, and a cool kit of stuff for my car (flashlight, emergency water, shovel, stuff like that.) They also brought me a new bed and some pots, pans, towels and an entertainment center. Christmas morning I went over to my mom’s house for breakfast. She gave me a new shirt, and some random stocking stuff, and I got my presents from my grandparents in Ohio. They sent me a Far Side calendar, a Star Wars ornament, and a Panama Canal t-shirt. I hung out there for a bit, then wandered over to Andrea’s house in the afternoon.
Andrea gave me a set of Outlaw Star DVD’s, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 for PS2, Fight Club, Army of Darkness (spiffy director’s cut bootleg edition), the Final Fantasy: TSW Soundtrack, a cover for my cell phone, a CD of PalmOS games, a gift card for Barnes and Noble’s, another for Best Buy, and 3 tubes of dice. I’m probably forgetting something, I’m sure she’ll let me know what it is. Her parents got me the new Terry Pratchett novel, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, as well as Good Omens, one of his earlier books. They also got me two posters, a Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust poster, and a Mallrats poster. They’re nice posters, and I think I need to find a better way to hang them than just putting thumbtacks through them. Any ideas? Framing seems a bit overboard…
Anyway, I’m off to bed now. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
