Sketchbook
Tablet (Wacom Bamboo, Create)
new Sansa
a Blender book (the 3d modeling software)

and uh... a Captain Kirk plush and a children's Star Trek book, the kind of children's book with the cardboard pages and everything.

This is serving as a lesson to never notify people of my nerdy interests, heh

...Tablet (Wacom Bamboo, Create)...

Lucky.  ::)

Let's see here...in no particular order...

-"Darkwing Duck" Volume 2 on DVD
-A Planet Descent t-shirt (courtesy of Techpro)
-"The House of Silk," a new Sherlock Holmes novel written by Anthony Horowitz, done in the spirit of the original Arthur Conan Doyle style (otherwise I wouldn't want it)
-"The Great Redwall Feast," and "A Redwall Winter's Tale"
-New umbrella (as the old one, while still operable, had clearly seen better days)
-A Hot Wheels model of the Back To The Future DeLorean
-Earmuffs, with the idea that I could use them to keep my ears warm and still be able to wear my favorite hat in the wintertime :D
-Two pewter pins, one in the shape of an otter (my favorite animal), the other in the shape of a fox (my other favorite animal)
-Mint-flavored chocolate orange
-Legos, one a set called "Scorpion," the other is miscellaneous pieces from the old Aquanauts sets they sold when I was a kid and was real big on (seeing them brought back good memories)
-Ear-clip style headphones, the only kind of headphones I'll willingly wear these days (wasn't in need of a new pair, but as they're apparently getting harder to find good pairs (for reasonable prices) I won't object to having spares

...annnnnnd I think that's everything. :)

space is a bit large to give as a gift, though. How the heck did they wrap it up for you?

How do you have me beat? The only way you could have me beat is to get less than nothing....which is...impossible. The fact you got SOMETHING means you haven't beat me. :P

i see your point. I got more than you  :P

It hasn't been the best Christmas. It was nice, had a fun time with my uncle and his family, my mom, sister and niece. We saw a very funny show and it was great.
Lack of the usual gifts don't bother me too much. I understand we can be a tad broke, or very broke. I got one thing for my friend, my mom and sister.
We didn't wrap anything up. I think that was part of it. My ex brother in law died on the 6th of this month. There wasn't really any snow.

It was still nice. We saw some people and watched a funny show.

Here's some stuff... Not that much, really.

Franken-RP-HTX7: RP-HTX7 recabled and with Sennheiser diaphragms+extra isolation. Didn't turn out to be that bad (original RP-HTX7 drivers are ha-a-arsh).
Roland UA-1G (cheers for this masterpiece of Japanese engineering).
A new Sony notebook (gift, hence it's a Sony notebook...).

There was some other stuff, but that's the most important.

A box of MTG cards, about 425$ in cash and gift cards, Metal Gear Solid and Medal of Honor for PSP, and a Leatherman Micra. That's all the important stuff anyways.

On the other end of it I've got enough Pie to last a week, and my boss gave me a DQ cake so that'll last me another week or 2 after that. Because I don't eat enough junk already :P

Four GameStop gift cards and a wooden airplane puzzle.

We were doing a secret Santa thing and Skyrim was the primary thing on my list, but I had GameStop listed as a secondary and everyone went for that secondary. So I just downloaded Skyrim from steam later that day.

I should have added the Samarui Jack and Star Wars Clone Wars DVDs.

Hey another MTG player. Woohoo!

I just got another 120$ from my grandparents on top of what they already gave me, so I've got almost enough to build a new computer to my satisfaction now. Happy day! Then I can fix this POS and either use it as a server/secondary desktop or sell it. It's still fairly new so I may just sell it, I bet I can get $300 easy, maybe $400 if I'm patient.

She had one before, but it was breaking down. So we got her a new one, better than the one she had. More features, drawing space, ect.

But she no longer had a use for her old one, so she handed it down to me. :V
