First off, a friendly reminder that I'm now on Twitter. So stop by and say hey! I tend to update that more often these days since I'm able to post to it on the go. Can't promise it'll always be interesting, but I figure once I get more followers I'll be able to use it more for sharing ideas than the current brain dump it is.

 

That said..it's the post-Holiday season, a time of exchanges, returns, and assessing the damage to your pocketbook. In the meantime, here's the pile of goodies that I recieved this season.

• Cash
• Best Buy gift cards
• Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
• Dress shirt/argyle sweater combo
• atomic clock w/ temp sensor
• veggie chopper
• new picture frame for 5 5x7 photos
• The Smurf's DVD (white elephant)
• Hand flexers (stress grips)
• Vikings t-shirt
• centerpiece for coffee table + candle

This year's overall theme was "class it up". The clock, frame, and centerpiece were inteded to add some style to my place. They go with the new furniture I brought in over the course of the year really well. I quickly used part of the BB cards on Inception. So that means I now own my two favorite movies of 2010 (Scott Pilgrim and Inception). I also used some of the cash to pick up some games at a B2G1 sale (Guitar HeroL Warriors of Rock, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and Dante's Inferno).

 

Looking forward to cracking open the book as well, as I've read the author's other work "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" and loved it. Will probably grab "Earth: The Book" this week as well.

 

I teamed up with my sister this year to get our parents and grandma a nice set of professional portraits. I've been doing giftcards and such a lot the past few years so this time I figured it was time for something different.
