I had a wonderful Christmas. My grandmother and my uncle came over for a while, we had a leisurely day, opening presents at a rather slow rate, as is our custom - lots of time to play with toys/set up gadgets/etc as we go. Getting ready for dinner now...

The list of stuff:

  • Wooden practice chanter (for practicing bagpipe fingerings) - I intend to get the pipes eventually...

  • Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit - looking forward to playing this one...

  • Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk

  • The Once and Future King by T.H. White

  • Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

  • Sandman: The Doll House by Neil Gaiman et al.

  • Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

  • New top hat - my old one is pretty torn up

  • A rather warm-looking flannel

  • Button-collar sweater/sweatshirt (not sure what to call it - the knit is finer than a sweater usually is...)

  • 2112 CD by Rush

  • Pirates of the Caribbean DVD

  • Geomag set (magnetic rod-and-ball constructions)

  • Brain teaser book

  • Soul Calibur II for XBox

  • Requisite candy/etc in my stocking

  • Tickets to the Red Wings/San Jose Sharks game - my girlfriend is awesome. Though she was disappointed there weren't more fights... the game was so very very cool.



I don't think I've forgotten anything - will amend if I have.

    I've been in pretty heavy lurker-mode lately, but November does strange things. That's right - it's National Novel Writing Month! I'm working on a…
