I got a worm bin, Eddie Vedder's Into the Wild sound track, and a box of garden seeds.

That's very strong. Really enjoyed it while watching the film.

I got a few gift cards, some slippers and clothes. It was a decent Xmas, though the move and the lack of money and jobs hung over it.

That was a powerful movie. To bad the poor bastard didn't have the soundtrack while he was starving to death.

Surprisingly, I got a lot of cash this year, which I promptly re-gifted to my wife, and father, although I will keep a $200 visa gift card one of my vendors bought me. I gave my mom my computer and got myself a new computer.

I got a Dell Studio XPS 435MT. It has one of the brand new Intel i7 quad-core processors, 6GB of tri-channel ram, 16x DVD burner, etc.

It came with a 23" HD Flat panel monitor, but I paid an extra $50 to get THIS 24" monitor!! This is by far the nicest monitor I've ever had. I like that it has VGA, DVI, and HDMI interfaces.

I also paid a bit extra to get Bose speakers.

I've been in computer nirvana for a week or two. I am not a big gamer, but I want to get some cool games to see how well it performs. It came with a 500GB drive, but I'll be adding a 1TB drive because porn takes up a lot of space.

And bupkis from my wife. I think I may get myself an epson 1400 printer. They are 179. after the rebate until12/31. I'm thinking about it.

Anathem, that cool measuring cup posted here awhile back with random measurements on it (volume of skin cells shedded in a day, etc.,) two new cookbooks, a couple t-shirts, a birdfeeder (with new patented Squirrel Busting Technology!, apparently) and some really inappropriate clothing. Fortunately the in-laws always include gift receipts with the clothing they always buy us. We already made returns to Sears and Target last night, and Wal-mart is coming soon.

Not that kind of inappropriate. As in, not something that anyone who had ever looked at me for two seconds would imagine might be something I would like. And the wrong size, to boot.
