Christmas 2006
For some reason, I never made a list of the shit I got last year for Christmas. I'm pretty sure I have every other year. I'm sure it's of little or no interest to anyone else, but I like to keep the list so at least I can remember what I got.
The big gift I got this year was a Wii, with various accouterment, including ExciteTruck. Seriously, this thing is fun as hell. I busted it out Christmas Day and even my sister Megan who was never into video games got into it. Wii Sports bowling is a killer app...it makes everyone want to grab the controller and take a spin.
The rest, in list form:
DVD:
How I Met Your Mother Season 1
King Kong (2005) Extended Cut
Once Upon a Time in the West
Pirates of Silicon Valley
Birth
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Mitchell
CD:
David Cross - Shut Up You Fucking Baby
Books:
Desolation Jones - Warren Ellis
MOME vols. 3-5 - various
New X-Men Omnibus - Grant Morrison
Areas of My Expertise - John Hodgman
No Logo - Naomi Klein
McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories - ed. by Michael Chabon
Full Metal Jacket Diary - Matthew Modine
America (The Book) Teacher's Edition - The Daily Show Cast
Cooking Mama for Nintendo DS
Coffee Table from IKEA
Audrey Hepburn print on canvas from IKEA
I also received a bunch of smaller knick-knacks, including a hand-made glass dish my mother bought on her trip to Italy, as well various gift cards and cash.
That may be it. It's all I can think of at 3:30 AM at any rate.
