- A vegetarian cookbook.
- An iPod Touch.
- A new cellphone, don't know which model but most of the extras are made useless thanks to the aforementioned iPod.
- A towel. (It's a really nice towel!)
- A grocery basket full of neat stuff like olive oil, chocolate and condiments.
- Vitamins.
The iPod Touch is really neat, but I have one problem with it: it's got a bunch of features I'll probably never use! I mean, having wireless internet connection in my pocket at the touch of a button is a nice concept, but it makes me wonder why I'd ever use it. Oh well, I guess I'll have to take that connection out for a test drive the next time I'm at the university. That place is one big wireless hotspot.
As I said, most of the features on my new cellphone are pretty much useless due to my iPod, but at least it's got the coolest mobile game ever: City Bloxx! I'm already hooked on it. Little pixel people beware.
As for the cookbook, it's pretty much the coolest ever. Most of the recipes just scream "Prepare me so you may eat me!" The next time she comes over I'll have to use one of these recipes.
Okay, so how was my Christmas without taking into account all the awesome loot? It was alright. I stuffed myself full (my aunt had prepared some vegetarian food just for me) and spent some quality time with the family and by "quality time" I mean my parents pestering me about everything from my haircut to the fact that I'm now a vegetarian. I haven't felt this alienated from them in years, which could be considered a good thing if it weren't for their insistence on still trying to maintain speaking relations with me. Mom, dad, this "talking" thing you're trying to do with me? It's just not working any more.
Using this Christmas as a precedent, I'll most likely be spending the holidays alone from here on. It'll be much less grating on my nerves and probably better for my psychological growth and by "psychological growth" I mean "not going crazy due to my mom's constant nagging."
With all that out of the way, I'm off to continue what I've been doing all day: a hell of a lot of nothing.
