So I hear some holiday thing just happened. Who knew?
Best gift in my opinion, and the only thing I actually asked for:
She plays the flying monkey theme, has her own snowblower so you don't have to shake her, and shouts, "I'll get you, my pretty! And your little dog, too!" Swoon.
In everyone else's opinion, this was the best thing I received:
And it WOULD be, could she hit 1280x1064. I'm slowly adjusting to 1024x768, but I think it's slowly killing me. She's gorgeous anyway, and I almost want to forgive her.
My most practical gift, shown here under my lovely Sivwork:
My family already regrets this daily, as The Phantom of the Opera sings his little heart out to the entire neighborhood while I shower.
This one is likely to bring me the most joy:
You know what that is, don't you? If not, rest easily with the idea that it was created with me in mind, and the fact that I hugged its box for a good twenty minutes after unwrapping it.
Its slightly less logical partner in crime gift makes delightful milkshakes to go with my glorious grilled cheese. My milkshake is indeed better than yours.
You folks DO know that I have an entire Nightmare Before Christmas shrine in my room, thanks to years and years of nothing but NBX-related gifts? I'm not even that huge of a fan... I'm a very small, blonde fan with a great love of Danny Elfman. Sure, I enjoy the movie, but enough is enough! If anyone needs an adorable, if slightly useless desk set and table lamp that I simply have no space for, I'm open to suggestions. Except for the tape dispenser, which is MINE.
As per usual, there were the few completely random gifts I've come to expect from my extended family. This year's theme appeared to be "Who the fuck is Kes, and does she have horribly frightening taste in everything? I think so!" Someday, perhaps, I shall find use for two brightly colored pairs of fingerless Angora gloves. You know, the kind with those little pouch things on the back that pull over and turn into mittens.
To make up for that, I Amazoned myself two previously unowned Strangers in Paradise trades, a Dandy Warhols album blasphemously not in my possession, and the scores to Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, and Hook. Ahh.
I received lovely Christmas cards from PresidentNumber2, ThePirate, and Geraldine (complete with hand-sewn stocking full of candy and a keychain from London!), three of my favorite people in the world. Screw the rest of you. CaseLogic gave me about a week of fun in both Austin and Dallas, and the special edition Phantom of the Opera (the movie) soundtrack, which I have yet to stop blasting. What a cool boy he is.
New Year's? What the hell is that? Ideally, I would go ice skating and hit Grilled Cheese NYC with PresidentNumber2, then sit around in pajamas playing video games with ThePirate. In reality, I plan on blowing off everyone I know and joining the masses of lifeless losers on Battle for Middle Earth. For some reason, this seems like more fun to me.
