And a Great Christmas to you all!!!
Well!
First off, I'd like to send big, massive Merry Christmas vibes to all my readers. I hope your christmas was indeed jolly and funky.
For the Christmas haul, I ended up getting a new DVD player (one which is actually multiregion and is DivX-capable! Hooray!), which came bundled with a set-top box, as well as getting the Serenity DVD, 3rd Rock From The Sun Season 2, Cake's Fashion Nugget CD, and many other excellent gifts.
It was a very cold day today, hailing multiple times. While many in the Northern Hemisphere will note that cold is christmas, here it was a quite amusing situation, since usually we're dealing with 30C degree heat. Though, personally, I feel that We got all the bad parts of it being cold, without the magical snow thang. Ah well. It was all good.
Other highlights of the day:
Alas, I miss proxyryan a little. I can't wait until I get to see him again...
Edit: proxyryan called me! I'm happy now! Best Present Ever!

Other highlights of the day:
- My younger brother, Nick, scored himself a 30GB iPod for christmas. So, of course, I naturally spent a good chunk of this morning helping him set it up. His iPod now has the entirety of Family Guy on it, thanks to me bringing around some useful software. Also, he now has Pac-Man on his iPod, thanks to moi purchasing an iTunes gift card for his Christmas present...
- My mum brought the Connect-4 board out again, so me and Mat (my older brother) naturally spent a good hour playing against each other. This time it was mildly pleasing for me, mostly because I was actually winning some of the time, unlike normally when Mat is constantly winning. And, as it turns out, he's not the best loser...
- Spent a bit of time ooohing over my family's computer. It's even so spiffy and shiny, far more so than my own box...
- Have now booked the flight to Adelaide to go to my best friend's wedding. I now officially leave on the 5th of January, and will be arriving back here on the 14th. My parents have graciously let me use their frequent flyer points, so I don't have to actually pay to get there. yay! They're also heading down as well, but they'll be leaving a day earlier than I, and leaving after the weekend.
