Christmas came and went. I surprisingly made a really good haul. Lots of DVDs. Starwars Trilogy from the wife, Shrek 2 from the inlaws, Rudy and Napolean Dynamite from Hunt and I gave the Indiana Jones Trilogy to the wife. So we got a ton of movies.
We had the Roes up last night and watched Napolean Dynamite, it was hilarious. By far the funniest movie I've seen in a long while, also one of the cleanest movies I've seen in a while. It has to be one of my favorites for the year, it was stinking funny. "I GOT NO SKILLS."
One of the funniest lines in the movie was edited out and is in the extras. "Yeah, well I bet you don't know the secret government illegal ninja moves." Or something like that.
Hunt also got me the new Bond Goldeneye game. Its pretty cool though hard to play. I was playing this afternoon for a few minutes and it was impossible to tell friend from foe because of the glare... so i shot everyone. I played more tonight after the sun went down and it was better. Problem is you don't have a sight you have this tiny laser dot that's hard to see. Though the guns are pretty cool and the game's got good movies and what not and a decent story that keeps things rolling. I like the double weapons feature too, its no Halo 2 but I'll enjoy it.
The best gift has to be the wifey getting me the Civ3 expansion pack, because not only is it cool, but it shows her love for me as she hates that game and she went out and bought me an expansion for the game.
I also got a leaf blower from the inlaws which I used this afternoon on my lawn. Leaf blowers are great, but what stinks is you still need to rake, no matter how powerful the leaf blower eventually you get a pile you just need to rake, so it still took a dang long time to rake/blow today.
My inlaw grandparents got me a really cool paper shreader that eats up anything, its great I've been throwing all sorts of things down it.
I got a few other ins and outs, not a lot of clothes which was cool. Mostly pratical stuff.
Wifey got a chandileer for the dining room which is cool. I got her a ton of clothes, jewelry and a harrod and funk cd.
TOmorrow I'll start work up again for three days. Should be boring, but oh well.
