Been a good Christmas,yep

A Tivo, which is all I wanted. I love it.

Also, my little brothers got a Wii and wow, it's so cool. I didnt think it would be any good, but boy was I wrong.

Well there's a gift you don't find under the tree every Christmas. Maybe a piano from 1922, but no way from 03', that's quite a gift I say.

As for me I got some tinker toys.

I got a rock.

And Having my family with me!

From what ive heard of the Cd so far,im impressed good mixing of the songs,up to track 11..

Beth, I LOVE Season 2! That was the best. In the Shadow of Two Gunmen (Part 1 and 2), 17 People, Josh getting PTSD, meeting Ainsley Hayes, oh, that was the best season! I miss WW!!!

Ton of shit. First time in two years that I didn't just one highly expensive present.

-Creative Zen:M 30 GB (I had wanted a 60 GB, but my mother was told it "makes noise"... what ever the hell that means... She offered to send it back in exchange for the 60, but I don't know if I will. I'm far too lazy)

-The remastered edition CD of RHCP's "Freaky Styley"... I couldn't find it anywhere here in the 'burbs. I finally own real, non-pirated copies of all their albums. Hoo-rah!

-RHCP's Off the Map, live DVD

-You know those Vans checker-pattern slip-on shoes? I got a pair with white and lime green checks on them. I love them... They're so obnoxiously bright, loud, and funky. Lime green is the best color in the history of the world.

-Quite a few kick'n t-shirts... About four or five. One Radiohead shirt, one RHCP shirt, one Sublime shirt, two Pink Floyd shirts... And I may be forgetting one.

-Two pairs of pajama bottoms. Good thing, I only owned one pair previously that fit me. They hadn't been washed in months. What can I say? I'm nasty, and I'm not one to spend money on clothes unless I see something completely goofy and abstract, or it's totally necessary.

-A paperback copy of A Clockwork Orange... One of the best books ever written, in my opinion.

-A paperback copy of Deadeye Dick by Kurt Vonnegut

-A ridiculously large, yet very cool book titled 1001 Movies to See Before You Die. Not only can I use this book to kill and skin a wild animal (it's huge), I can use it to find some great reccomendations.

-Uncensored Director's cut of Spun.

-Additional stocking stuffers/gift cars/money that I am forgetting.

Yeah, with the ending of season 1 and then watching the first show this is the show at it's best. The scenes where Toby finds Josh, and the secret service come in and which Hoines away I rewinded and watched over and over again.

Another great episode...
"Sam's getting his ass kicked by a girl."

"Ginger, get the popcorn".

Re: "West Wing"

At the risk of hijacking this thread, I'd like to add a few comments on the early seasons of this show. They rate, IMHO, with the best that television EVER produced.

I think it was the first show (in which President Bartlett throws the religious zealots out of the White House) that I fell in love with this series. There were SO many powerful moments!!

Two come immediately to mind:

1. Bartlett "taking on" God after his secretary was killed. Sheen was absolutely AWESOME in that church scene.

2. The funeral of the homeless soldier (who ended up with Toby Ziegler's coat). It always chokes me up when I see that.

SC...this has to be the best show of all 8 seasons I think. It's so out of character for Toby. And Mrs. Landingham talking about her dead sons, then wanting to go pay her respects with Toby. The final scene with the children's choir singing and then the gun salute at the funeral, it does get you choked up.

Mrs. Landingham's funeral is even more gut wrenching. Bartlett stomping his cigarett out and telling God, "You get Hoines". Loved it!

I got plenty but highlights are,
Band of Brothers DVD box set (been after this for years)
New trainers
A book "Next Man Up" by John Feinstein
A bottle of Jack Daniels
Black Label Society's new CD

I always do well

Each year I look forward to my most useless gift. In the past,it was a pair of flannel pajamas (I don't wear pajamas); a winter hat with ear flaps (I'm not Elmer Fudd); a necktie with a picture of a naked woman (I'm not exactly Bob Crane either); and a picture of Shaquille O'Neal (I'm not a big fan of professional basketball).

This year the honor goes to a heated travel mug that plugs into the car lighter. While I spend a lot of time on the road, I don't drink coffee, nor do I usually allow myself time in the morning to make a cup of tea. In the rare event that I bring a cup of tea, I pretty much drink it before it can get cold.

Anyway, I'm grateful for the gift. The person, who bought it, put some thought into the gift, knowing that I travel and such. But as a firm believer in re-gifting, I will likely find a good home for this mug, which is actually pretty nice.

A Pearl Rhythm Traveler, a cool funky little kit I might say,

and some Ray Bans Wayfarers.

I didn't get any gifts like that this year,that honour normally goes to my Auntie we didn't bother buying eachother gifts this year..

I got a Zune mp3 player, a couple pairs of shoes, and a bunch of kitchen stuff for my new apartment in May.

No drum set Or bass.

Yesterday when I was granted the power to shop for myself once again, I made a few purchases at the local Sam Goody. Bought the Billy Joel My Lives and the Oliver Stone Collector's Edition Box Set. Also ordered a new coat from JcPenney. Afterwards I bought The Good German on paperback.

Let me know how The Audacity of Hope is. I've been wanting to read it. Somebody gave me a B&N gift card, so maybe I'll pick it up.
