Merry Christmas!!
I hope everyone's had as good of a Christmas as I have. After some extreme last
minute shopping yesterday (which backfired on me for one gift since I have to
special order it now), I made the turkey and pies, and then opened presents late
last night after midnight mass. I got pretty much everything I wanted, with
enough gift certificates to get the things I didn't. Here's the rundown, not
just for your information since you probably don't care much, but looking back
on this years from now I'll be interested in what I got:
Back to the Future Trilogy on DVD
Orange UF Gators shirt (needed an orange one, all my UF shirts are blue)
Gift Certificate to Bennigans
Gift Certificate to Pizza Hut
Gift Certificate to Best Buy
Gift Certificate to Wally World (Florida Gator themed as well)
Gift Certificate to Blockbuster
Chocolate Mint girl scout cookies
A Mozart CD
A roll of quarters for laundry money
and finally a BNS DX Dance Dance Revolution Pad to match the one I already
bought. Bring on doubles!
I plan on using the Best Buy certificates to get some videogames coming out
later in the spring, and maybe get a webcam. Because if there's one thing the
internet really needs, it's me on video :)
My brother also got an XBox for Christmas, so now we own (get ready): Super
NES, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Playstation, Playstation 2, Xbox, Gameboy Color,
and a Gameboy Advance. Yeah, I think we like videogames just a bit. Still
kicking myself for selling our old NES though.
What happens when Santa turns corporate? Bad Things. Really good short story (that used to exist)
about what would happen if Santa ran his elvish workshop like a modern
corporation. Let's just say Rudolf's nose would fall under EPA radiation
warnings.
And speaking of Santa, here's the infamous "Physics of Santa
page. A holiday tradition in many an email inbox.
Here's also another neat page on How Christmas Works.
Everything you ever wanted to know about Christmas but were afraid to ask. Like
where exactly did Rudolf come from anyway?
