The Christmas Presents
Well, I promised that I'd update in a timely fashion, but I liiiiiied. So instead, I figured I'd just wait it out and update once the Christmas pressies came in (I know, how greedy of me). Anyway, on another note, I went and saw Casino Royale yesterday, and thought it was FUCKEN AWEEEESOME. I know, I know, blah blah blah, old James Bond is better. I agree and disagree. Daniel Craig did a great job. Sure, he wasn't quite as suave or charming, but he was raw, and he made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, which was just fine for me. Eva Green was hot (duh, Bond girls usually are), and Le Chiffre with his weepy blood eye was sufficiently rad. My conclusion, GO SEE IT! Sean Connery was a great Bond, but I think Danny has done beautifully considering what he had to hold up.
ANYway, onto my gift haul!
+ 30GB video iPod in white --> surprise gift from my mom, because apparently she wanted to give me something nice since this is my last Christmas at home. Awwww.
+ V For Vendetta DVD
+ Tristan + Isolde DVD
+ Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest DVD (funny story, read end of post for it)
+ Josh Groban CD
+ Toblerone chocolate bar
+ Jolly Ranchers
+ New gloves
+ Slippers
+ American Eagle vest & t-shirt
+ Knights of the Old Republic II computer game
+ Star Wars novels (11 of them)
+ Pirates of the Caribbean calendar
+ Blockbuster gift package
+ 5 movie passes
+ Pretty earrings
Hmmm, I THINK that's it. If I remember something, I'll add it at the very bottom. Anyway, onto my Pirates story. RIGHT, so, I received it from my mom's boyfriend's son on Christmas Eve, and it was all 'sweeet, I love this movie'. Good, right? Well, when I went to my dad's apartment in Victoria, he bought it for me too. So I decided I'd take the first copy back, since my dad's was the special edition. Then, I go to my grandparent's house for the big gift exchange. Turns out my cousin Mike got it for me too. Soooo, I wound up selling the third DVD to my uncle for 35 dollars, and returning the first one. I found it funny, though maybe you had to be there??
My sister just bought Dance Dance Revolution, and I'm exhausted from using it for like three hours today. She also got a scanner from my grandpa and a portable DVD player among other things. It's all pretty rad.
HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT HOLIDAY!
Happy New Year in 2 days.
