I hope everyone had a good Christmas.  So did you score anything cool?

I spent Christmas Eve feeling nauseous...until I finally got sick at about 10:00PM, and the rest of my holiday vacation with a sinus infection.  I had just made friends with our elliptical runner again and I've been looking forward to a bit of festive drinking as well.  I hope this goes away soon.

Having a dysfunctional and expansive family has its merits at Christmas time.  I've always received way more gifts than any one person should.  Here's a partial list of material gains:

Colts Hoodie
Dean Guitars t-shirt
Jedi Luke Skywalker Unleashed maquette
Darth Vader Cinemascape maquette
Choke by Chuck Palahniuk
Star Wars: Path of Destruction by Drew Karpyshyn
A porch swing
Philips portable dvd player
Dolce y Gabana cologne
Star Wars Lego II for PC
RC airplane
Star Wars Christmas ornaments
Turkey Deep Fryer
Olive Garden Gift Card
Wal-Mart Gift Card

The time off has been nice even if I've spent it lying around.  I watched Descent last night....very open to interpretation and very recommended.  I also finally caught Talladega Nights, which I just couldn't find at all funny other than the quotable Walker and Texas Ranger. 

Have a good and safe time celebrating New Year's Eve.  Happy New Year.
