back in boston
i'm home. christmas was good. gift highlights included the battlestar galactica original series on dvd (in an attractive collector's edition ceylon head case), the pirate movie on dvd (yum), several sweaters (because my mom's worried about me being warm enough in boston), shamu-shaped bedroom slippers, and... the voltron castle. this is one of the most awesome things my mom's come up with yet. see, when i was little i had the voltron castle (voltron being an awesome japanese cartoon, if you haven't heard of it), and i had all the robot lions and figures and everything, and i was keeping it in pristine condition till mom decided we were selling it at the yard sale. i was heartbroken. years and years later, i looked it up on ebay and saw that a mint condition voltron castle could go for over a hundred dollars, and i was still wishing i had mine, and i started guilting/teasing my mom about it. i even wrote a poem about this and put it in my thesis. so she went on ebay and got me my own voltron castle. it even has quite a few of the original pieces. she also got me all the lions and all the little figures, plus two videos and a t-shirt. the t-shirt is all worn and soft and wonderful. it was the sweetest gift ever.
also, at one point in the weekend we went shopping and mom & dad bought me a new interview suit. a really nice one, from casual corner. it's gorgeous. the woman who sold it to us told me, "this is a lucky interview suit--everyone who wears it gets the job." she had bought one for her daughter too. and aunt carole gave me a really pretty, really classy silver necklace which will be perfect with the suit. so i am excited about the second interview i have next week (harvard law school--they want to talk to me again!!!). but now i'm off to bed, because i've got to be at PSG tomorrow morning at 8am. yay for actual work.
oh, and my parents gave me mad gift certificates. after jorn and i exchange gifts, i've going to spend $25 on amazon (probably to preorder my angel season 3 dvds), and i've got over $50 to borders, since i never spent my borders gift card from last year. i am so psyched. also, i have $25 to spend at victoria's, which will be exciting. which pair of panties will i get?? oh the suspense. yay for free shopping.
