I already have your Christmas gift. Sadly, it is not on your list. Happily, it is something you could (and I suspect would) buy with something on your list. So maybe it will all work out! :) I don't have your b-day gift yet, though, so I will take these lists to heart.
I got dad's stuff at the same time I was getting yours and before I got mom's email about just not doing gifts this year unless percap is huge. So, you're getting yours, and I'm still doing something for Mom. I'm at a loss on her, though, because I know she doesn't read the books or watch the things I've gotten her in the past. What I would really like to do is try to get some of the stuff she's pawned out of hock, but I don't know how, where, or even if that's possible (let alone what it would cost). Any thoughts on the best way to do that?
I've been looking forward to the 20th anniversary edition of Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire since I heard about it. There are a lot of Star Wars books I'd be perfectly happy to e-book someday, or even just get from the library, but this is one of my favorite trilogies, and the anniversary edition has annotations and whatnot, so I think I must have it. I hope they do special releases for the other two in the series

Went to the mall yesterday as part of our massive (It's Dad's payday and PerCap day, must spend money) day. We're not even finished yet, because by the time we made it to Hy-Vee, I was too exhausted to do much, so we have to go back to buy human food today, and I also think we're going to make a run at Target today

How did mom manage to drive into a hole? Anyway, I guess for her, I'll probably go the department store giftcard, to help with clothes for work. Now I just have to pick the one that is the most likely to have stuff she'll like in sizes that fit.
I got dad a "grow your own coffee!" kit. Apparently it takes forever to get actual beans good for coffee-making, but in the meantime the plant itself is really pretty.
I think I heard that either the Deadpool or the Wolverine movie (or both, idk) were going to completely disregard the first Wolverine movie. Seriously, not since Hulk have I scene a studio so quick to say "Wow, we screwed that up.Do-over!" Well, I guess there's also the First Class, rumor, which is that it essentially considers itself part of the movie!canon through X2 only, and is also disregarding not only Wolverine but also X3.
I love Marvel, but this stuff with the films, is pretty much how they run their comics too, which is exactly why I cry foul at all the people bitching about continuity and canon. Marvel is a multiverse, and while there is a kind of main canon (officially Earth-616 designated such by some aliens that can move between dimensions), there are also a ton of canon AUs including worlds where most people are mutants and it's the regular old humans who are in the minority, and ones where Erik runs the school because Charles is dead (one of my favorite canon AUs. Erik is married to Rogue in it), and the one where it's Toni Stark not Tony Stark, and she ends up marrying Steve Rogers. All sorts of fun crack in the Marvel AUs and that doesn't get into the vast runs that are more or less erased because some powerful mind wiped out and/or changed the memories of pretty much everyone on the planet. For instance in recent Avengers canon, Spiderman was an avenger. He announced his identity to the world, married Mary Jane, and then left Shield to join
