I Did Good, or Something

The title of the post doesn’t relate to my Happy Jesus Day gifts, but what I did today. Regardless, I’m sure you guys would like to know what I got for Jesus Day, so here’s a quick list… (Unless otherwise noted, all are from my mother). (Oh, and I really need to set up lists in my style sheet, Jesus.)

Canon Powershot A95 + Rechargable Batteries

The Donnie Darko Book
Hamlet (Mel Gibson’s version)
Christmas Vacation
American Wedding (Unrated)
The Japanese import of The Polyphonic Spree – Together We’re Heavy (Which kicks major ass, three extra tracks.)
A Sandwich Maker thingie, can’t find the brand online (from Jenni)
Slaughterhouse-five by Kurt Vonnegut (from Greg)
A grip of CDRs in a case (from Sandey, my former supervisor)
A Etch-a-Sketch pen (from ??? Tina, I think)
A brown guitar strap for my acoustic, very nice (from Raffi)


Want to know what I got for everyone else? Of course you do… Might be spoilers for anyone who hasn’t gotten their presents from me yet. I wont bother linking to the pages for this stuff either as it’s all books.
