For Here or To Go?

 
 
So, I finally got the Desmond hoodie I've been wanting!   You can also see next to it the awesome Star Wars blanket my mom made for me.  It's soft and big and warm and yeah.
 
Since I was late getting into the whole 3DS thing, I chose Christmas to catch up haha.  I've only played MK7 so far, but I'm loving it so far.
 
Also got a new Xbox controller.  My first since getting a 360.  And it's the super cool Halo 4 one! Can't wait to break that thing in.  And of course there's my first Halo book.  Looking forward to reading that.
 
Finally, there's SHF Wild Tiger.  I passed on all the Tiger & Bunny guys before, but after watching the show I knew I needed at least Kotetsu.  And Amazon had some amaazing sales on them... My mom said she'd be willing to get me something like that for Christmas, so I took a chance and she pulled through.  Came as a pleasant surprise to me, even if I do find it a little weird for her to still support my collecting as an adult now.
 
EDIT:  And theeeen I'm putting everything away after taking the pictures and I think to myself... "What is in this gift bag here...?" as I glance at said bag at my feet.  Lo and behold, t'was a present to me.  I must assume my family assumed I left the one piece of tissue paper in their on purpose, masking its contents.  But I had indeed overlooked this precious bag.  And inside it laid 6 Star Wars novels for me to enjoy.  And oh I shall.  (I'll also feel like a fool for a little longer for not noticing it there... *sigh*)

Not pictured:

• 5 shirts
• Body Wash & Body Spray
• New razor
• Case of root beer :3
• Bunch o' cash

Hope everyone had a safe and happy holidays to.

Eh, didn't get much (in) this month.  Which is fine given the amount of school-related expenditures I had...

Pretty solid flying theme in this month's purchases.

Few days late, but couldn't really help that.

Not pictured for obvious reasons is also the XBox Arcade game Trials Evolution.

Probably not gonna get much this month of May, but I think April makes up for that.

Just finished reading the last book of The Corellian Trilogy.  I was not expecting the ending at all and was actually a little saddened by it.

This even after having read the entire New Jedi Order series some time ago, where some of the last books make references to this trilogy.  Granted I hadn't even read Truce at Bakura then, so not a lot of them made sense and frankly I hardly remember those books.  But that's what happens when one particular series is twenty books long.  It's probably a good thing I'm trying to read a lot of the older books in chronological order now.   In a universe as large as the Star Wars one, it really is fascinating how authors years down the line can tie in characters and plotlines left forgotten.

I mentioned in Valenti's blog that I'd like to see the Vuuzhan Vong some more.  But now that I'm thinking about it, the Ssi-ruuk wouldn't be bad either.

I, too, have just recently purchased Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  And the first thing I did was read the last page.  Not because I'm one of those nuts who wants to know the ending before all else - quite the contrary, actually - but because I wished to check on the accuracy of the leaked information which I was so unfortunate to see.

I'm greatly upset right now.
