(no subject)
Alrighty, let's wrap the Christmas festivities up (at least until the Family Christmas Get-Together, which I believe is at the end of the week).
-Captain Jack Harkness action figure (from Ari)
-$25 general gift card (from dad's mum)
-$50 general gift card
-$50 Borders gift card
-volumes 1 and 2 of Yami no Matsuei/Descendents of Darkness
-The Complete Guide to Manga (which amusingly enough rates YnM 1 star out of 4)
-a complete and unabridged collection of Edgar Allan Poe's works (by far my heaviest gift)
-jklfja4ojt89au; BLACK TRENCHCOAT~~~~~~
-Dog Fancy desk calender
-Fox Trot book, "Houston, You Have a Problem" (the latest one, I think)
-Doctor Who DVD--"City of Death"
-Live Free or Die Hard DVD (unrated, ha)
-John Barrowman, Aspects of Lloyd Webber
-t.A.T.u., 200kp/h in the Wrong Lane
-Linkin Park, Minutes to Midnight (which is awesome, I don't care what anyone thinks)
Shadow has declared that my LP CD is his. <<; >>;
I woke up yesterday morning very NOT in the Christmas spirit. I hadn't gotten much sleep, was starving, and after I ate (most of a blueberry danish and a few sips of some blah-tasting hot chocolate), I felt even more tired and even sick.
:P And then presents, which only got better as the morning went on. Go fig.
The above list will be adjusted if I get any worth-mentioning gifts from other family.
Oh, and from my bro to the family? A box set DVD collection of all three Jurassic Park movies. BAD. FUCKING. ASS. I've been wanting to see JPIII again for ages. Lost World kinda sucks, and the first two movies in comparison to the books, well. :| But isn't that always the case? XD (Srsly, I love the first JP movie, but after I read the book, it just wasn't as spectacular anymore--probably most of all because of the drastic changes in characterization. BUT IT'S STILL AN AWESOME MOVIE.) And I liked the 3rd one, damn it. ;;
The manga guide is, of course, not complete--it basically gives a summary of the plots and then a rating from 0 to 4 stars (srsly, there was at least one series that got a 0), but obviously there's more manga coming out all the time; like it doesn't have Lovers in the Night or Truly Kindly, because those two came to the US just this year, same as this guide.
Note to self: playing t.A.T.u. while playing Shadow is amusing. Playing LP while playing Shadow actually at least makes sense.
Also, one of these JB songs should not be on here, because he has only like two lines. >> Oh well.
Also reserved a character on Econtra for two weeks. I started the app. And have come to realize that, while a certain character may be insumountably important to certain pivotal plot points in multiple stories, that does not me we know shit about them. OH WELL. I'm doing my best. :| I may chat with one of the fellow players in the sane fandom as this character. Or wait until the one whose character most affects mine comes back from hiatus. Bah, we'll see how it goes.
And I don't care what that manga guide says, that YnM's only got its pretty pretty art going for it. I loved the anime, therefore I want the manga. And so far, it's actually really good! Not that I've even finished the first volume yet--I didn't do much reading yesterday. XD
...Except more American Gods, if only to finally get to the end of this one section, and it made me dklfjaio;wehjfoafu;iothuio NOOOOOO
So. Yeah.
Gonna go vacuum downstairs now.
