Great present!

Nope, I had not! This is my first one. I've already flown a few hours in FSX and it's a wonderful experience. About to boot up IL-2 and DCS Warthog to see how those go down. Should be a wonderful experience. :yeah:

My sister, brother-in-law, and I do our Christmas on Christmas Eve... I got him a big bottle of Crown Royal Black which he loves and of course he opened it to have a wee drinkie. Then he wanted me to try it. Which I did, and he kept refilling our glasses and I kept saying that I wasn't feeling any buzz.

Then it hit me like the proverbial Mack truck. I ended up staying the night - just got home and OY MY HEAD.

This morning when we got up we discovered that we'd gone through almost the whole bottle.

Anyway, my prezzies this year:

A 2010 kitteh ornament
Some cute "peace sign" earrings
The obligatory pecan log
A tin of homemade shortbread (pecan & almond)
This:

Two books:

Sledgehammer427 12-26-10 07:02 AM

got to spend Christmas with my mom, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. That was definitely a plus. that and it looks like I may be staying on the east coast. It's hard to say I belong here (hayseed country boy, chiming in) but midwestern charm (and the fact that I have an accentless voice) means more job opportunities.
lets see. material gifts.

Cold is the Sea and Around the World Submerged, by Edward Beach
The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Monsarrat
A new phone with touch screen (I just put the protective film on it) and instant access to my social networks, all 2 of them X_X
217 dollars, sure to go towards a new flat cap (all I have is a wool one)
a pair of mario and yoshi pajama pants.
t shirt and zippered hoodie.
some sweet Skullcandy earbuds (dubstep-genre certified)
THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD
Pirates! Beyond Charted Waters card strategy game (hard to explain beyond that)
some other little trinkets, mostly involving playing cards and other tabletop games for when we (stepbrother and I) get bored. :up:

a surprisingly good christmas with thee family.
went through with the italian tradition of eating 5 courses of seafood on christmas eve. I actually ate willingly for the first time since then about 4 hours ago.

best part is, I'll be joining fellow SUBSIM member Ivank for a watching of TRON, some SH4 mod work, and new years in Times Square. :D

antikristuseke 12-26-10 08:23 AM

Got new headphones and a pair of socks. On top of that got sent home from work on the 24th because I hadnt sobered up from the party the night before.:oops:

Factor 12-26-10 10:22 AM

I got a counter top wine opener, a 2 1/2 foot glass graffix, some 'good' product for the graffix, :D.

Also got a steering wheel for the xbox so now I can finally play F1 2010. Could not come to grips with a handheld controller, after playing rFactor and GTR2 for so long with a wheel.
