Wow, I've been a slacker when it comes to using this thing. I'd blame Twitter, but I think this always happens to me over the winter break.
To sum it up so far:
Went to Tahoe for the first week, which was a lot of fun. Me and Erin just chilled, played lots of video games, and went skiing. It was nice to be up in the snow for a while, since it was on the ground the whole time we were there. And I had been looking forward to just playing a ton of games, since I seem to have the hardest time finding a spare moment to play when I'm in school.
After coming back was the pre-Christmas insanity. I wrapped a ridiculous amount of gifts, but it all turned out really well in the end, and the holidays were generally drama-free. Here was my haul:
- 16GB iPod Nano (orange; his name is Gailardia ♥)
- Super Mario Bros. Wii
- Star Ocean: First Departure
- Star Ocean: Second Evolution
- Inglourious Basterds DVD
- Sword and the Stone DVD
- Princess Mononoke DVD
- Kingdom Hearts pin
- $20 LJ gift certificate (from Damned!Santa)
- 3 hats
- 2 pairs of socks
- 1 long-sleeved shirt
- 1 pair of leggings
- 1 coat
- 1 scarf
- CD holder
- $25 Best Buy gift card
- $20 Target gift card
- small box of Lindor chocolates
So yeah, believe it or not, that's my first iPod. I went without one for a while, but... I finally decided it was time. Super Mario Wii has been a lot of fun, especially with the multiplayer. I just ran into Cyuss in First Departure, which I'm happy about 'cause I started liking him before I booted up the game. Ahem. Showed Erin Inglourious Basterds the other night and she enjoyed it, as I imagined she would. Oh, and I got a paid account and extra userpics for my Zack journal with the gift certificate, so that was exciting! I wanted to use the Best Buy gift card to buy a new battery for my computer, but apparently Best Buy doesn't sell batteries. Poo.
Oh, and then the day after Christmas I went with my buds to go see
Sherlock Holmes. It was definitely a fun, enjoyable action flick, but not necessarily anything amazing, in my opinion. I'm glad I saw it, but it didn't get me all obsessive the way
Iron Man and
Star Trek did, for instance. Still, RDJ and Jude Law? Can't go wrong there. I may have flailed in my seat a little when he started grabbing at his pants in that one scene.
One more exciting thing that's going to happen before I go back to school is that
nest will be visiting here for a few days! Me and Erin are going to pick her up from the airport tomorrow, and we're planning to meet up with
famira and
wyna_hiros on Saturday. Will be awesome.
I don't want to go back to school yet, boooo. I'm sure I'll be okay with it once I'm there, but meh. 8(
