The time is here once again where we all roll percentile dice for the great randomized loot drop that is Christmas Morning!  Here's hoping you're lucky enough to have DMs family who use wish lists!  So here's the place to boast or bawl; did you get what you wanted this Christmas?  Let's see!

I got:


An ASUS EEE netbook!

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. on DVD!


The complete series of Faerie Tale Theatre!


Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead!


Inglourious Basterds!


Men With Brooms!

The first book of the Prism Pentad!

The first two books of the Thorn of Breland trilogy!



And a mini-recorder thingy for lectures and notes!


     And that's just from my immediate household!  I'll update the list once I get back from my parents' and exchange gifts with my best friend and favourite player.

     So!  What'd you get?

The only thing I got for christmas was a knife from a friend. Oh, and a card to go along with it.

EDIT:

It also I got another thing. Another friend burned the first and second seasons of Ghost in the Shell for me.

Viking Sushi? Neat! I have some sushi cookbooks but no metal sushi for me so far Undecided

Oh and I got a smoothie-recipe book and a bunch of movies. Which is cool, because we never actually celebrate christmas; it's just that my little sister decided it'd be nice to have presents this year and decided to buy stuff for the whole household.

I was actually trying to make a point that most people that I know are *****, with a dash of humor tossed in. And I refuse to grow up till I'm 18. I know how to act like an adult, but I choose not to (unless it's mega-serious, and this is not), until I actually AM one.

Then try using a every once in a while. They help. Also, something you might find funny might make someone else uncomfortable. Of which if your audience doesn't find it funny then you weren't funny. This seems more of a case of failed delivery.

And yes Exo Squad pwns mightily. I watched disc one last night. I was honestly expecting my Nostalgia glasses to have colored it because there was no way it could be as awesome as it was when I was a kid right?

It's actually better. I like it now more than I did back then and it also shows just how good cartoons were in the 90s. It's very adult in the issues it deals with and in the way it handles them. The animation quality is good for the most part. Though I do remember the Eframes looking better than that in the show. Maybe they will look better in Season 2.

*Hell my Eframe toys and yes I still have them look better than they do in the first season by quite abit. Particularly JT Marsh's and Takagi's.*
