Materialism R' Us!

This is where you tell what you got for your individual holiday, which is, as we all know, the only reason we celebrate.

Fairly light haul for me:

Got a couple of books, Alternate Generals III, by Harry Turtledove, and Postwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus, by Orson Scott Card,

Some dice my friend picked up in Las Vegas,

A change jar (I have a lot of change),

A car adapter for my cell phone,

about $260 dollars in checks from various people,

some assorted magnets for my new house (yes, I finally live in a house now. ),

and last, but certainly not least, my George Foreman Grill! Knock out the fat!!

P.S. Oh yeah, and a 42" flatscreen TV. No real need to mention that.

Among other things, I got a starter set for Warhammer! I've never had a chance to play as I can see it as just another hobby that'll take up all of my non-existant time, but now that I have it, I have to get the most of out it, right? I mean, I don't want to be rude... ;)

Rich? Ha! Just because my dad is Vice Manager at his Intel plant, owns two BMW's, has a boat that's bigger than most people's houses, and owns controlling stakes in three rental properties and two islands on both coasts, doesn't make him rich.

...Come to think of it, I kinda hate myself now... :mrgreen:

How about middle income earners? We drive the administrative world! You can't hate administrators, right?

I got a light haul this year, since I have to drag everything back to the Great White North when I leave this lovely country.

- Inn-Fighting, a D&D stand-alone dice game

- I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, republished with a wonderful minimalistic cover and rounded edges from Orion Books.

- Stripburger, a Slovenian comics magazine that publishes independent and underground artists. It's been a comic book establishment in these parts for years.

- In my stocking I received fancy condiments (chocolate - fig jam!), crackers, cookies, curry powder and hot sauces.

- I'm receiving packages from both sides of the family, but I won't be seeing them until well into the new year.

- Some cash via direct deposit.

We ate an enormous amount of food and drank even more wine, some of which was homemade. There was plenty of snowfall so I was convinced this is actually winter. It was a brilliant Christmas.

I'll just list the things that I put on my Christmas list that I got. I also got a lot of gift cards to bookstores, since I'm a voracious reader.

Bookshelf (which can also hold DVDs)

Nose hair trimmer

Electric toothbrush

Wireless network adapter

I feel pretty lame showing you what was on my list, but I also got some cooler things that I hadn't specifically asked for, such as a book signed by Orson Scott Card, Guitar Hero III, and a variety of chocolate and pretzels in various mixtures.

Guitar Hero III is pretty good. I like the songs from II better, but it's impressive. My favorite so far is the Killers' song, but I haven't gotten up to 'Cult of Personality' yet.
