EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Well, the most important thing to tell you is that my grandparents gave me a pillow, and I love it to death already. So far, even more than the new Bamboo Tablet I was given. (They also gave me a cute new hat. Mom bought one for herself, wrapped it, Dad put his name on the gift, and by this morning, she had forgotten what it was. That’s okay. I wrote The X-wing Carol for my Dad, and hid it in some California Megascenery for Flight Sim X, and I forgot what it was, too. : P Silly me.) But I haven’t tried the Tablet yet. I’m installing it now. So we’ll see what happens. X D
Good movies this year. I was given My Neighbours the Yamadas (Miyazaki) by my parents, my brother was given The Inspector General (Danny Kaye FTW!!!!!!!), my mom found Winged Migration in her stocking (love the soundtrack), and Snow White, too.
Kevin was given a DS and two games – Battlefront II and Zelda: Spirit Tracks – and they look coooooooool. He was also given some Warhammer seige defense equipment and it looks fabulous – Dad painted it. I think. And he was also given Wii Sports Resort. Oooh, fencing. I wonder how good it is. I’m sure it’s nothing like the real thing. BUT THAT’S OKAY.
My friend left a present in my mailbox the other day – it turned out to be cookies. Thank you, lx-sama!! And my choir gave me chocolates. That’s so nice of them. My brother gave me Over Sea, Under Stone, by Susan Cooper, the first in a set of five novels about Arthurian legend. I really like them.
Mom was given (besides the hat) mitts, three cooking utensils, and a programmable remote specially for her so she will never be confused by our myriads of electronic devices. And bath sponges.
Dad was given a cheese and sausage set that comes with a mini cleaver. It’s cute. He was also given Battlefield 1942 for PC, more Flight Sim scenery than you can shake an P-3 at, (he also got an Orion… disc… thing. I assume it lets you fly a really super-realistic Orion in FS.) and a book about aviation in Victoria. Oooh. He liked the X-wing Carol, and especially the first couplet (X-wings and TIE fighters/make great Christmas light displays / Red and green lasers/make pretty explosive holidays).
We have a fire going. It is excellent. We burned the wrapping paper. No garbage from that, at least!
Mmmm, pillow pillow pillow pillow pilloooooooowwww.
Okay, back to doing things. X D Installing!!
