I truly do hope you all had a merry Christmas. I am enjoying mine with a plate full of steak (cooked by yours truly). I have some crappy Christmas music going from a random stream on Winamp. Christmas spirit is abound.

This Christmas was far less magical than it usually is. I remember last year, with everyone going "I don't have that Christmas spirit anymore.", and me going "Woo, Christmas is teh woot!". This year, I suppose, that feeling has struck me. Perhaps it's been the abysmal school year thus far, or the fact that we had school on the 23rd (a sure-fire way to suck the Christmas spirit out of the world).

Anyways, a list. A bulleted list. Or perhaps a numbered list?

1. Gummi Bears, Nerds Rope (i love this stuff), Pez, and Good & Plentys (Stocking)
   
2. Wallet (rents)
3. Ski Goggles (rents)
   
4. The Onion "Fanfare for the Area Man" Day-by-Day Calender (Jonathan)
5. Headphones (previous described, Jonathan)
   
6. Cell Phone (rents)
7. Far Cry: Instincts (Jonathan)
8. Call of Duty 2 (rents)
9. Spartan: Total Warrior (technically this and CoD2 were purchased by me, with money I received, but this is a minute detail)
   
10. Skis (rents)

This post has actually be about half-done, sitting as a draft for about 4 days, but I figured I should post, to maintain these some form of contact with the readership until school starts again. I'll rave about Call of Duty 2 and Far Cry: Instincts later, and complain about Spartan: Total Warrior too. I hope you all had a good Christmas.

Thought this was a really cool quote, albeit random:

It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.
