Title says it all. I know some of our users may not celebrate Christmas, and they can find another thread to comfort themselves in lol.

 

So far, I've gotten nothing but cash and gift cards. I was gonna go to the christmas bash my family's having out of state, but got kinda strongarmed into staying home. We don't plan on having anyone over or going anywhere so it's time for a very scroogey christmas

Fuzzbutt! Where have you been? 

 

I got a rather nice legend of zelda backpack, a new keyboard, a small tablet and a few small things from various people. 


First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

I don't get gifts.


My gift this year was not having to see my whore of a sister.


And really, that's the gift that keeps on giving.

This year was a pretty filmy year. I got:

Ran by Akira Kurosawa on Blu Ray

The Criterion Collection Blu Ray of Kubrick's Paths of Glory

Kubrick's Spartacus on Blu Ray

The old Janis Films release of Kurosawa's Throne of Blood

Better Call Saul Season 1 on Blu Ray

An el-cheapo Pop Flix box set of six spaghetti westerns called "A Fistfull of Westerns" including "They Call Me Hallelujah", "I Am Sartana, Trade Your Guns for a Coffin", "Blindman" (with Ring Starr), "And God Said to Cain", "The Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe" and "White Comanche" (With Captain Kirk).

Some of that is gifts to myself, but good haul.
I'm fearful, I'm fearful, I'm fearful of flying, and flying is fearful of me.

I got some money, some gift cards, I got Lego Jurassic World and a Justice League banner (Courtesy of my AWESOME brother), I got a book about making comics, and that's about all the stuff of note. This Christmas was a success.

Haha yeah sorry for disappearing. I got super busy working two jobs and got really antisocial online. 

 

I'm not sure yet. It came with a book of projects so I'll probably go through those. I'd like to build my way to a kick ass biped that I could be proud of but that's years away, ha.

No worries, sounds like you've been very busy.

I still need a nifty arduino navigation system, just throwing that out there. >.>

From my girlfriend I got:

 

League of Legends t-shirt and mouse pad.

Star Wars plush w/ throw blanket

A couple Blu-ray

A few new tabletop games. Exploding Kittens, Chocolate Monopoly, and Arena of the Planeswalkers (Magic the Gathering).

Electric shaver.

 

I think there was something else but can't remember.

 

From my parents:

 

Soundbar for my bedroom TV.

 

From her parents:

 

Ice-cream maker.

Every year they traditional buy me a fun sheet of Rice Krispies Treats.

 

I'm more excited about the gifts I get other people. I have a bad habit of spoiling loved ones.

Was trying to get people over last night for it. Everyone was busy </3 hoping to try it out soon.

 

You know what board game is fun? Never heard of it before Christmas night but I'm pretty sure this is going to be our go-to game for when we're stuck at her family's house for holiday junk. Telestrations. It was a riot. Basically you get your own flip pad with a dry erase marker. You draw a card and roll a dice, put the word down you got. You start a sketch and flip it to the next page. The next person guesses and puts the word in and passes. The next guy has to draw that word and continue on until it gets back to you. It was a lot more fun than I imagined it would be.
