Bubble Bobble *hears song in head*
I got Metroid Prime 2: Echoes! This one is already much harder than Prime based on the little time I've spent with it this morning. Besides that, I got Return of the King EE, some cool clothes, ink/pens/drawing stuff, and cash! I'll probably buy Super Mario 64 DS tomorrow with said cash! =)

~Shiny new PC, got this early though.
~Lots of random clothing, mostly from no taste friends, ah well.
~Some actual good DVD's this year, Wyatt Earp, Tombstone, Collateral & Seinfeld 1-3.
(of course, I also got some stupid anime shit, which a friend chooses to give every year, sorry, I simply cannot stand any form of anime nowadays)
~Few random games I didn't want (KH:CoM...ugh, EQII...wtf? Half-Life 2...is this honestly any good? Worst demo ever, sleep inducing.)
~Random little bits of junk no one wants to hear about.
A fun Christmas, as usual, but I need to find some new friends, I buy them nice shit and get snubbed with whatever tacky form of nonsense they can pick out in 2 minutes.

keep your strippers out of my American football
Not much so far. My gf gave me some cologne and a charcoal grill yesterday. I was so sick today, I didn't make it to the Christmas party where my family gave out gifts. So not sure what else I got. I should know in a few hours though.
-5.1 home theatre system from my roomate/best friend
-coffee maker from his girlfriend
-Randy Moss 2 figure and Kotor 2 from my Assistant manager
-Viewtiful Joe 2, a Vikings Zippo, MGS3 Limited Brady guide, Fossil Watch, and assorted liquors, boxers from my girlfriend
-khakis, sweater, and cash from my grandma

I got a bunch of great stuff, but notably a Nokia 3220 (<3), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metal Gear Solid 3.
I played the pinball game on my phone, and I racked about 12,600 at best. I let my brother try once, and he got 32,000 after losing two balls. I must really suck at games now.

my dad surprised the hell out of me with a copy of technic beat. i guess he knew about it because i asked him to look for a copy at costco about a month ago, though he didn't find it then. uncharacteristically thoughtful of him, really.
and of course i bought myself a lovely psp via tetsuo, and that came just yesterday. lovely lovely psp.

From Immediate Family:
----------------------------
*My best piece of artwork from my high school AP art class finally got framed (This was probably my best gift, since the gesture meant a lot to me. My older brother had much of his framed by my parents long ago because it was just plain great. In fact, his has already been RE-framed in a better frame by his girlfiend. Now I finally have one framed.
)
*iRiver H-320
*Seiko SKA234 watch (I love finally having a REAL watch! My old $30 Casio, complete with fabric strap and blue/green reflective surface, was at its end.)
*Azzaro's cologne 'Chrome'
*Spider-Man 2
*Candy
From Relatives:
------------------
*$110 (As my Grandma said, the extra $10 is to cover tax so that I really have $100 to spend)
*$100
*$30
Future Gifts via Purchases with 'Relatives' section:
----------------------------------------------------------
Canon Word Tank, model XXXX (I'll be in Japan for all of next year as part of an engineering abroad program in either Sendai or Tokyo. Any advice on which ones to look into and whether to buy them here online or in Japan?)
I hope everyone had a great holiday. I know I got a lot compared to some, but I hope people can appreciate the holiday for its ability to bring people together. There's been years when I've asked for nothing because I KNOW I get more than any kid deserves. Enjoy the break before work/school starts back up, everyone.

Heh, me too! I had asked for it last year, but I didn't get it. This year my wife got it for me, remembering last year's request. Huge, awesome surprise.
An 18 pound one at that.
Combine it with the Prehistory of the Far Side and you have every single comic.
I love the rejected snake in the play pen in Prehistory and Larson's comment is "You didn't see this. Move along." :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
From my cousin: $6, Elf DVD, clothes, candy $25 gift card (Best Buy), wallet, Far Side calendar
From my grandma: $50, tiny stocking (which had the money in it), and gingerbread cookies.
That about wraps it up for today. Tomorrow I go to my dad's cousins to finish up the whole Christmas bash. My grandma gave my sister and I presents last year because we're the ones who regularly visit her and say hi, and I guess this made one of my cousins upset (but she's like.. 32). My grandma gave us our bags in quiet and told us to open them at home.

Got a drilling machine to work inside my new house and some tools to go with it.
As for gaming, I got Mario Tennis. It was in a list with Metroid Prime 2 Echoes but my gf bought MT because she wanted to play it with me so it's a fine gift.
Except that I passed most of my free time on the 25th in WoW

haha...
I wasn't expecting the X800, or Carnivale both too expensive so Carnivale was a suprise. My mom came over last night and told me they didn't know which card to get so she orded it when she got here. I told her the 9800 is fine then I got "Do you want the X800 or not!"
so...why the hell not...lol I feel bad thought I onlu visit her once at year if that.
I dunno what the monkey ornament was about...kinda confused me :lol
