Merry Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas Day to all!

We haven't formally exchanged gifts yet. This year it's going to be Christmas Day when my brother gets into town.

However, I did get a surprise gift from my boss in the mail...a Best Buy gift card! 8)

It's now Christmas!

The weather forecast all week was for cloud and rain today, but it's actually clear blue skies. I would say it's about 5*C, but I haven't checked. :D

We aren't doing anything until my gran and aunt come over at 1pm (Hour and a half away). But then we probably aren't opening presents until after we have dinner at 4:30pm. :(

The Santa Clause is on TV now. It was also on last night. :-\ How rubbish. The only TV I know of that's worth looking forward to is a new Wallace and Gromit. They've been in some idents for BBC but they were computerised, which worried me because using clay was what's so special about it. BBC finally showed an advert for the new episode last night and it's still done with clay. :)

Wallace and Gromit are hilarious! I loved Curse of the Wererabbit. The same guy did Chicken Run as well if I'm not mistaken ("Chickens is organized!").

I agree that they should always be done in claymation.

It's really called "claymation"?

But I agree, movies like Chicken Run are great.

I didn't provide a list this year because no one ever gets me much of what's on it...In return I didn't really get much of anything. I think this is the first year I spent more on things than the value of what I received, and it feels just fine.

Got some books, a CD, Fear and Loathing Criterion Edition, Pajama pants and slippers. They also got me a plug-in radiator for my room, but I already had one and it shorts out the fuse...so that may be a hundred-ish bucks to put towards something, either a gun or a new external hard drive.

My mom and I went out at 8am this morning and she bought me a bunch of new pants and a pair of shoes. First real new clothes I've gotten in about three years, she kept complaining about the invincible stains and patched holes on my old stufff...

Some good deals out there purportedly, hell if I know what clothes should cost; all too much in my opinion.

Alright, I thought so but I wanted to make sure.

Question: is there anything special about the deck that makes it "good" to perform tricks with?

I haven't even tested it out, but it probably has clipped corners and such. ;)
