In which I tell you about the gifts I received.

For Christmas I got a Kindle gift certificate (yay moar ebooks!), a red goblet, candy (some of it filled with tequila, I kid you not!), a hand-made tote bag, cash, and a little herb garden kit.

I really wanna buy myself some sort of shiny new electronic device for Christmas (a new phone, Kindle, or iPod) but I’ll need to buy school books next week. After I’ve done that, I’ll be able to get myself something fun. I think it might have to be a phone, though, since mine now shuts itself off at random.

Last night, my brother and I walked over to Amity’s and stood around the fire on her patio and drank beer and talked to people. It was nice. I love having a friend five blocks away; it makes me feel like I really live here now.

I did a swap with a guy I met on Flickr. I sent him some lenses and bulbs, and he sent me two cameras:

I received them on Christmas eve. They’re both groovy old 35mm rangefinders, and I’m really looking forward to trying them out.

I just ate this bowl of rice & beans and falafel. It was delicious:

I haven’t left the house all day. Hell, I haven’t even gotten dressed. Yay lazy Sunday!

Now: how was your Christmas?
