I got..um...stranded. Fucking snow.
I know that's strange to hear from me. But I'm supposed to be in Connecticut right now. All I wanted was to see my sister & brother-in-law (who sent me an Official New York Yankees Xmas card, by the way) & to give my father a gift of understanding in the form of 3 books...but NO. Instead, we're getting HAMMERED by snow. And no Lindsey to even help me enjoy it.
There's no one in town--State College dies during break--& the few people that stay here are working or off for the day. So it's been an Epsilon Eridani Xmas at Casa Shikenstein--hours upon hours of Babylon 5. Finish out S2 & get well into S3.

I got a DVD player and some headphones, but I got both of those as "early" Xmas gifts (I got them, my parents paid for them, and I simply get less stuff on Xmas). Actually, I guess I'm not getting any "stuff" other than that. Just cash.

I got to see my sister and her boyfriend. I got to spend time with the family, and I got a very nice dinner out of it all. As far as material things go, I got a CD case and a new network card. All in all, is was a pretty good Christmas.

An assload of chocolate (as defined by the ISO "ass-load" standard. I think my parents want to fatten me up from 135 pounds/6 feet) A bunch of books, with a noticeable focus on alcoholic drinks A new watch that syncs itself to some transmission from Bolder, Colorado (which still works in Toronto, Canada...eh) A UPS with a USB port (I must have sounded a bit paranoid about my friends monitor's blowing up....) An LCD monitor, really snazzy, perfect except for a damn bright blue pixel almost smack dab in the middle of screen. It sits there, mocking me, staring at me. I'll never forgive it, for the death of my boy. (Yeah, its going back....restocking fee or no restocking fee. I paid for part of it anyways. Figures. I worked all term surrounded by literally dozens of perfect LCD monitors, first one I buy *crunch* Luck != my friend)
Not a bad Christmas in total, although not too lively either. Nice meals, damn cold snow.

And I'm sure you demanded unused notes, too. You crazy little shit.
I got a DVD player too. A multi-region one, which interests none of you American lot. Except you can't watch Spaced. Which you also don't care about. Even though you should. Ha ha ha!
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
