So, I'm sufficiently stuffed. I had a really nice Christmas.

Slept-in until 11 (for once!) and then had Christmas with my family - Jake went crazy with the wrapping paper, until about halfway through when I gave him his gift (he tore the paper off himself), which he then carried around for a little while - I gave him a Jumbone, one of this MASSIVE treatsnackish things for him to chew on - he immediately stopped tearing up every scrap of wrapping paper and attacked the bone until it was gone! O.O It was completely oblitherated in the expanse of an hour. XD

Anyhow, I didn't ask for much this year - My "big gift" this year was actually asking for money for TK. Since he was a big purchase, I felt (although I probably should have mentioned it sooner to other family members and cousins :P) that if they gave me money instead of gifts, they would be contributing towards something I've been wanting for a long time. In any case, Mom and Dad gave me money to cover TK's "head operation". I also got a wonderful set of four bamboo chopsticks (incredibly light, and so beautiful!), a couple of car accessories (maplight and compass - blue plastic, of course), a decorating "icing syringe" (so I guess I'll be baking cakes soon enough and practicing my handiwork LOL), chocolate coins, and a Far Side Calendar.

Seanna got me the first season of The Simpsons on DVD! Wow! :D I was talking with her on Christmas Eve about Box Sets... heehee ^_^

We visited our cousins out in Newmarket today, and had a blast. Their house is large enough to actually seperate the young cousins from the adults, and they have a large enough dining room to actually have everyone at one table! It was a very nice evening, and I think almost everyone overstuffed themselves with all the food we had... particularily the chocolates... *burp* there was this Chocolate Pizza that had soft nuts and marshmallows in it, that was incredible, and unexpectedly chewy. I thought it was going to be a heavy nut-filled chocolate, but I was wrong.

Anyhow, I ate way too much turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes...

I'm turning in since everyone else here is dead-tired, and I'm planning to try to win a $500 Gift Certificate at a Best Buy "Boxing Day" deal tomorrow (@ 7 in the morning), I need to get some sleep, even if I don't buy anything, it's just worth a chance.

I can't remember what it was that Best Buy did last time that pissed me off, but obviously this time has got me annoyed yet again.

Went and lined up in the freezing cold at 6:30. Around 8:00 I finally bothered to go around and ask if they were still handing out tickets for the shopping spree - well, apparently tickets were limited. It doesn't say that on the flyer.

Not that I needed anything from them, anyways. Staples seems to have better service, and can match prices, too.

Oh yeah, now I remember. The Customer Service fiasco with another one of their stores.

Ah well. "Bein' human, havin' your health, that's what's important."

Awww... inspirational text with cute/funny pet pictures. Check out the picture at the bottom of the first page. :)

Here's a really nice Chise figurine. Guhhhh....

This sounds like some of my posts sometimes! XD

Hm. Angelic Layer precedes Chobits in the CLAMP timeline. I wonder where all the other series (including Clamp School - not Clamp School Detectives, and Dukylon Defenders or something like that) are factored into the system...
