christmas strikes again!!

so uh, thursday morning i went and swung by the post office before work and picked me up a cd: Liars: It Fit when I Was a Kid single...then i worked...then i got off work...then had christmas with my pals over at Jacques and Amber's place...i got some swell stuff...from Mary Beth: The Burning Library by Edmund White and The Thief's Journal by Jean Genet...from David: Sun Ra: The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra Vol. 2 (with promise of another cd forthcoming...mail delay...it'll be like christmas twice...) from Jacques and Amber: a sack of carrots (in gum form), a Jones Soda holiday pack (turkey & gravy, wild herb stuffing, brussels sprout, cranberry, and pumpkin pie flavors!), a nice brown shirt on which Amber stitched Link (though it's not finished so i gave it back for completion), The Legend of Zelda: the Complete Animated Series (which looks terrible...but in an endearing way...it may border on CD-i territory...we shall see!), Game Machines: the Encyclopedia of Consoles, Handhelds & Home Computers 1972 - 2005...presents are pretty damned sweet...pizza was ordered and eaten...oh speaking of presents, the night before that Dustinh gave me an orange t-shirt with a picture of an ARP 2600 on it that's totally awesome...

anyway, worked some more today...then afterwards David came over and we hung out and eventually ended up at barnes and noble...i picked up some books: Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima, Answered Prayers by Truman Capote, If I Die in a Combat Zone by Tim O'Brien, and Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo (this one was on the "bargain" shelves)...then we came back here and played with my moogerfoogers...the first time i've had 'em all going at once...and we dug up the manual and i learned how to use the modules on the Control Processor that i previously didn't know what to do with! awesome! (well, mostly the mixer...but that's a module with a bunch of different stuff to it...)

it's always good to know i'm a slightly bigger nerd than just days before...hurrah!
