Christmas 2009

Well, I just spent Christmas completely alone for the first time ever. Not nearly as depressing as I thought it would be. Still pretty depressing though...
 
All great(except the ninja turtle one....:??), but Four Calling Birds is brilliant.

Yeah...the turtle one is weird. The Bella Swans one is actually pretty brilliant.

It gets easier. I've done the holidays alone thing before. I celebrate by watching a marathon of movies and my holiday feast is a Slider Crave Case from White Castle.
 
Merry Christmas, etc.

Highlights of mine included getting the special edition Miracle on 34th Street DVD (which has the b&w version and the colourised version and the 1994 remake); getting a new netbook and external hard-drive (hello future!), and a smattering of other fun things, including a lovely new leather jacket I bought myself in the sales at work, today. Christmas dinner was epic and the first time in a while where I've actually been really full and satisfied with a meal.

Downside was, I had to be up at 6.30am to go to work today, for the first day of the sales. :( Obviously that's lightyears away from what Doom is going through (who I really felt sorry for, yesterday), so best wishes to you, bud.

Still haven't watched Wonderful Life. Might do it, today.
 
I had a Christmas.

Sexynurse had to work, so I went to my parent's house, and helped them get dinner ready. We opened gifts, which I did get some useful/fun ones, but my brother, in is infinite wisdom, managed to give me a gift that I got the previous year, and a gift I got him, a few years back. He really does suck at gift giving.

Won some money, played some games, ate more food, and went home.

Fun time.
 
I went to church yesterday morning, family cooked, and spent a few hours playing Band Hero and Super Mario Bros. Wii with some friends.


Good times.
 
My favorite day of the year. Boxing day. Day after christmas. Home from mom's annual xmas party and can relax with leftovers and toys.

A decidedly Nintendo xmas this year.

Super Mario Bros Wii
Boom Blox
Boy and his Blob
Rabbids go Home
Zelda Spirit Tracks
Professor Layton 2
Elite Beat Agents.

Plus Muppet Show season 3 and Freakazoid season 1!!! And some cool sweatpants and shirts that I desperately needed.

Good times.
