So, x-mas has come and gone, and I received lots of great gifts (thank you to everyone!!!)...
I got some DVDs (LOTR, Extended Edition) which we watched yesterday and today (added a lot, but I still find myself disappointed with PJ's direction... more on that another day), Halo 2 (which my brother and I tried to beat on Christmas day... got within a level or two of the end before we had to pack it in), LOTS of books (more than I can remember right now, but the count ended somewhere at 35...)

Seriously, 35... mostly because my darling wife gave me all of the Terry Pratchett's Discworld books she could find... I think I own all of the series but two now (which says a lot, since I only had one before)... Could be the best present I received... It's certainly the nicest present anyone thought of...

But I am now completely behind on my reading... I was before, but now I have had any illusion of being caught up destroyed...

But I will do my best to catch up...

I love my pile of stuff... just love it... I got some awesome sweaters (as always... I wear sweaters like most people where t-shirts... I love new sweaters).. And we just had a blast... Got to see my mom, which was great, 'cause she and my sister are having a rough time of it... So she got to relax a little, and read through a baby-name book, and just chill, which is awesome...

(Listen to me... I sound like I'm half my age)

Anyways, not to belittle any of the other presents I got, but the one that takes the cake as far as strangest and just plain cool-facter ranked neatness (Yes, I use the "word" neatness) is this one from Angie's mom:

Powers of 2 Binary Clock (Home & Garden)

Mines black... it's on my night stand... It's in BCD mode, but I am thinking of switching to true binary, because using place values is cheating...
But it is cool; however it is set up... And I had never seen one before....
