* Shirt, pants and boxers - very nice, since I desperately needed some new pants.
* Lava lamp - Always wanted one. :D
* Wii Nunchuk - Needed an extra one, so :cool:
* Gamecube memory card - Now I can play all these Cube games. :)

On the flip side, the other thing I got for Christmas is a really sore back and shoulders from shovelling all the snow we got in Colorado. As if the 3 feet we got last week wasn't enough - last night we got another three inches... :)

Cosmos - A Field Guide by Giles Sparrow (biggest book I own, with some truly magnificent photographs)

New earphones for my mp3 player,
Suede gloves, t'shirt, jeans and a jacket.
A cord-ish green coat, assorted boxer shorts and socks.
X-Men Trilogy DVD

Got a cool comic free with the X-Men Trilogy.

Well, since I had my b-day my graduation (no celebration or party, just finished with a degree) and x-mas all within a week period, I sorta got everything lumped together.

B-day's gift was a set of free weights and two nike shirts (one long sleeved, one short sleeved)
graduation/x-mas - a Digi cam, 2 shirt/tie sets, a new huge pillow, a button down black shirt, a Barnes and Noble's gift card, and a crap load of money ($500+)

Not much else to report, really. I got some more cash, chocolate, socks, etc. Barring one more gift from my best friend, I think that is everything I'm going to get this year! Being older sucks... I have nothing to play with :( I snapped one of the strings on my guitar, and don't have any spares here, so I can't even mess about with that.

Just bought myself I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. Thought I might as well get started on spending the cash!

... chocolate, socks, etc....

Don't you wish those were chocolate socks? Wouldn't that be great!

Mmm... chocolate. Yaaaay, socks. W00t! Chocolate socks!

My brother and sister both got stomach viruses from my uncle on xmas eve. Ah, the joy of giving.

Thankfully, I have college immunity (knock on wood). Being around a bunch of people living like pigs has its advantages.

In that same vein, I treated myself to a christmas present by buying Rocky soundtracks on iTunes :D Scientifically proven to compel you to work out just by listening.
