robotech_masterWell, my family's mini-Christmas celebration is over, and I have given and received.
On the given side, I gave my father the DVD of Rush Hour, my mother a set of two Motorola 2-mile 14-channel walkie-talkies (for use while horseback riding and such), and each brother (& associated wife or fiancee) the DVD of The Matrix Revisited and a CD-ROM I burned of a high-quality DivX :) of a Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind fansub I downloaded via Morpheus.
I received (in addition to whatever Joe's getting me--he said he'd get it tomorrow) a sweater, a small plug-in fluorescent light--essentially a nightlight, which is good because I kind of needed one--a Gerber to replace the one I lost a couple of months ago, a $15 Barnes & Noble gift card, and a total of $75 in Best Buy gift cards. Heh . . . when you have a DVD collection as large as mine, I guess people start getting reluctant to get you anything specific, out of worry that you might already have it. It's just as well, I guess; I think I'll save these for a couple of weeks to get the Buckaroo Banzai DVD, the Legend DVD whenever it comes out, and perhaps even some of the Batman/Batman Beyond collections. The folks suggested I look into getting a printer, but I can't help but think that Christmas presents should be at least somewhat frivolous.
And now to shower, sleep, and work 8 hours. Later!
