-Playstation 2 (with extra controller, but no memory card)
-2 bags
-2 pairs of thongs (that's flip flops, jandals... whatever you want to call them)
-2 bags
-a book
-a coffee table (still unstained. My sister says she'll do it, but she won't because she's a lazy piece of poo)
-$50 and $30. My uncle and grandpa have increased the value of their gifts by $20 and $10 respectively. That's fine by me because I spent all my money on clothes, opera and anime and I have some clothes on lay-by and I need to get a memory card so I can save the game of Final Fantasy that I started this evening. I still haven't gotten anything from my dad's side of the family yet, so hopefully I'll receive some more funds.

Ah, Christmas, that time of year when you really appreciate having a large and closely knit extended family.

Sadly, I did not get Rome, Total War, but I am nonetheless satisfied with the following:

DVD's
-Gladiator
-Equilibrium
-Life of Brian
-Casablanca
-Maltese Falcon
-The Princess Bride
-Young Frankenstein
-The Complete Indiana Jones Collection (Fullscreen, sadly, but what are you going to do?)
-The Complete Expanded Edition Platinum Super-Dragon Version of Return of the King, With Chrome Wheels

Books
-"Lincoln"
-"A Seperate Peace"
-"The Civil War", by Julius Caesar, which'll go well with my copy of "The Gallic Wars"
-"The Last Legion", which could either be good or absurdly bad
-"The Burglar Who Liked To Quote Kipling"
-"Winston and Roosevelt"
-"The Constant Gardener"
-Some book about the numerical patterns of the universe, which looks interesting

I also managed to snag a Gillette Mach 3 vibrating razor (no idea why it vibrates), along with a plethora of smaller items, and, finally, an MP3 player which holds barely an hour of music, but it's all I really need.

Arrow · Post by **Arrow** » 2004-12-25 09:37am

- $380, cash and check
- $360, BestBuy gift cards (ah, my favor toystore!)
- 2 pimpdaddy dress shirts (orange strips really aren't me)
- 1 dress shirt
- 1 tee shirt
- Stargate SG-1 season 1 and 2 box sets (good timing, I just finished all four Farscape boxsets)
- Band of Brothers
- DVD stand (my other ones were full!)
- New calendar for work
- Misc. items

AND

A fuckload of money, in the form of raises and bonus, from my employer. It's good to be appreciated!!!

I also gave myself the extended edition Return of the King.

RedImperator · Post by **RedImperator** » 2004-12-25 09:38am

Santa Claus brought me so far:

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the PS2

That 70's Show season one DVD set

Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie DVD

A book on the history of the Philadelphia Philies (fun fact: a Phillies pitcher holds the all time MLB record for losses in a season--46, from an era when the season was less than 100 games long. That same pitcher accounted for 75% of the team's wins that season.)

An autographed Brian Westbrook football card, mounted in a frame

A Philadelphia Eagles fleece blanket

A Philadelphia Eagles tee shirt

A box of cigars (Dominican)

A hundred bucks for the Aspen trip

There will be more loot later from the extended family.

Exchange it for a Widescreen edition, as they retail for the same price.
