So...so far my wife is the only one who has given me a present. Since we're opening presents tomrrow with the boys and my family and then not until January with her family.

Beer ;D (Beck's, if you must know)
A Homer Simpson talking bottle opener

All in all, not too bad at all. Also got the go ahead for an Ipod, but wondering about the new Dell beast that's out there?

It was a pretty Techno X-Mas for me this year. I got:
iPod (40 GB) with Remote
Tivo (40 Hrs)
Nintendo DS with Mario 64 DS
Oregon Scientific Atomic Projection Clock
a few DVD's that I picked up before leaving work on Friday (Anchorman 2pk, RE:Apocalypse, Open Water)
Some Hallmark SW Ornaments
Seahawks jersey
All in all, not bad ;D
-
Not as good a haul as last year or the preceeding year, but the promise of a good wad of cash for C3 and April 2nd helps to ease the blow.
Thus far:
Qui-Gon (Naboo)
OOM-9
OOM-9
Rune Haako
Chancellor Valorum
Senator Palpatine
Grand Admiral Thrawn
Han Solo Bespin Capture (POTJ)
Arrested Development 1st Season DVD
Couple of Star Wars Calendars
$250
+ Various articles of clothing
So overall not to bad at all, I really can't complain, as I got pretty much everything I wanted. Except for a new Air Soft Gun, but now I have the money for one...so...yeah.
The only problem I've had is that one of my pacages looks like it will arrive tommorow as opposed to yesterday, so that's a bummer.
-
Sony Network HD Walkman 20 GB
(Because all my music is on CD so I can use Sony's ATRAC format to store my stuff, which sounds amazing bitrate for bitrate compared to mp3. If you are happy with mp3 or already have lots of them, the iPod is the better option, but if you will only be recording from CD, want top quality at high compression and you want the smallest HDD player out there at the moment, then go for the Sony).
Socks
Sean Astin's LOTR book
-
I got myself a new cell phone. If any of you folks want to call me for some obscure need, let me know. :P
Also got some really nice clothes, a Gallaleo thermometer, a new aquarium, The Trilogy Collection, Call of Duty, Jeremy Shockey Jersey, new wallet and wallet chain, some freakin' cool Spider-Man fleece scarf, driving shades, a talking teddy bear, some cash, oh, and a certain Helper of a Mr.Clause provided me with a Stealth Scar Predator *DROOL*. ;D ;D ;DEver thankful ;)!
I got the box and opened it up and looked around cause I wasnt sure it was for me or not. :P
Good haul. A Merry Christmas.
Kevin
EDIT:
OH YEAH!
I got 2 4' speakers, a center speaker, and two rear wall surround speakers, a receiver and a 100 disc CD changer.
Home theater here I come.
-
I got the POTC Naboo and Coruscant figures... All caught up till preview wave, yay.
I got some nice shirts, couple pairs of pants... I got some DVD's of Hammer Horror films (First Cushing/Lee Dracular), and the Vincent Price classic, "Wax Works".
Hmmm, Mostly was clothes for me this year... I was told I'd get some much needed customizing supplies bought for me as soon as I decided to put an order in (I wanna buy some myself too), so that's cool. Gotta get on the ball with some things.
That's about it on this end. Another grand Christmas for me, for which I'm happy and thankful. Not much running around is what I"m most thankful for, haha.

Yes.
My mother bought me vacation home in Deer Valley, Utah. It's a drag to have to drive up 20 minutes before being able to ski. She also "bought out" the resort for the month of January so I could ski without all the awful snowboarders around. Although, I'll probably only be able to ski 20 of the 31 days because my sister gave my wife and I a cruise.
The sister gave us a cruise through the Carribean. That should be nice. She even paid for our dog to go to the Westchester Estates, and exclusive kennel where she won't have to deal with other dogs barking 24/7. It's a high end B&B for dogs, and they give daily baths there.
My old man paid off our 3 million dollar summer home, and bought me an oil company, but I really wanted a Major League ball team... He also gave me 2 of his used Porsches, a 1968 convertible and a 1964 normal one. But I don't like the color of the convertible, so I'll most likely give it to the Kidney Foundation for the write off.
My wife picked up a custom 320GB iPod signed "Think Different" by Steve Jobs, and a C3-PO costume used in the original 1977 Star Wars - even though she said she would *never* buy me any Star Wars toys...
My 4 year old daughter gave me a Vintage Sandcrawler, but I threw it away when she wasn't looking because it wasn't c-10.
Christmas sucked. What I really wanted was a puppy.

eh!? ???

Why doesn't anyone recognize good sarcasm anymore...all that to waste Deanpaul. By the way if you wanted to impress it owuld have been a home in squaw valley anything less is just so burgeoise ;)

Thank you.
And I forgot the small 800 acre private island my Grammy gave me. It's right next to the one Mel Gibson bought to get away from all the Jews. But it's like I don't even have it, what with all the tropical hardwoods and rainforest that she's having cleared so my pilot Edward can land the plane there... Maybe by the time construction is complete in October 2005 it will feel like I own a piece of the South Pacific, but for now I'm still a strictly Northern Hemisphere Burgeoise.
-
Oh yeah?
Well I got a country... Yes a country! And not a 3rd world one either, but one with a relatively stable economy... or it was till I got it anyway. I've already increased unemployment by 50%.
I make the minions of my land dance every day, twice a day, at the 11 o'clock's for my own amusement. I wear a big pope hat too, and my soldiers wear 18th century uniforms because we're flashy.

Kick ass. Are they more British or Prussian?
-
Oh yeah?

Did you know that the miter originated in the Philistine’s Church of Dagon? Indeed, as they worshiped an aquatic god and their priests wore a hat in the shape of a fish head. Christians later adopted this style of headdress.

Much more Prussian, due to the frillyness.
And no I did not know that about their hats, but did YOU know that Neimodians apparantly had similar backgrounds then? :)

But I still haven't gotten my muffler replaced yet, it fell off about a month ago. Oh well. Maybe next weekend :P
-
Dave,
Where'd you find the AOD figures? I gotta get at least some of the ones with the regular Skeletons in them... Custom fodder an'at.
-
My buddy at the comic shop ordered them for me. Not sure where they will be available at "regular" retail, but you might want to try a few comic shops and such. They are very cool.
-
Damn... The Comic Shops around me are all but gone actually. Very few still open in this area.

At least you have some in your area... I have to travel at least 30 miles for even a bad one. But been going to Seattle a lot lately to the comic shops there so its all good in za end.
