Yes, it's that time of year again. A time for goodwill toward our fellow Flarites and Peace on Earth.
Well, that second part is pretty much a wash but we can still watch Old Star Trek DVD's with friends and family- the true spirit of the holidays are reflected in the glow of every space battle and warp-core breach.
So, what y'all going to be doing this year? I'll be indoors with a drink and the final raymond Chandler Phillip Marlowe novel with the air conditioner crankin (it's gong to be lower 80's here).

Ha. *I* got a bottle opener shaped like the Enterprise. It even says NCC 1701 on it.

It's nice to see that shikaru is alive and well.
I recieved a copy of Call of Duty World at War, for both Wii, and PS2 ( my family got the Wii for Christmas, but I can't stand the controls...too much motion.), and a new bathrobe, among other neat-o things. The bathrobe is amazingly comfortable.

My roomate bought me all 20 parts to Marvel's Anihiliation cosmic storyline (which sees a hell of a lot of Marvel characters get brutally killed).
My pal dave bought me dinner at Outback (Prime Rib moocow and a highball).
My Grandma just sent me $100 with the stipulation that I have to buy something frivolus- no bills or clothes- jsut something I'd like. Gotta love your grandma. Maybe I'll buy a model or three.
My mom sent me a gift card from Dillards department store- what they sell there I have no idea.
Best of all- I spent the holiday reading comics. eating good food and chilling out- no family visits, no stress, no leg pain (as I get my perc scrip filled the day before).

I got a new set of Bridgestone Battlax BT-016's for my baby, and a B&D jumpstarter.
And today I've got the house to myself, and I'm taking the time to enjoy the situation. I got coffee to the left, grass to the right, and a computer screen in front of me. Im set.

Snay - Yeah, I came charging out with it to 'break it in' only to find the beer my friend's brother was holding was a twist-off
And I got a Drinking Bird! 'Twas a very geeky Christmas indeed.

Haha thanks Sean. Basic was tough, but I'm glad that's over with. Probably won't be able to get on as much thanks to the military.
