I just got the best present ever. My roommate moved out of the flat we were sharing recently, and I've been shit-scared for weeks about having to pay full rent; landlord turns up today telling me I can stay here for the same price I've been paying, entirely on my own. I LOVE RAISE HOUSE. <3

Turns out the movie I got "Letters from Iwo Jima" is one part of a pair, the other being "Flags of Our Fathers."

The two movies are set from opposing sides of the same battle in World War 2.

Now I have to brave the boxing day sales to try and find the bluray of FoOF to watch them both together

Wow, I've had an awesome Christmas day! I was able to sleep in till 11 and didn't expect any presents at all (because I thought I was just getting money), but I was pleasantly surprised!

I got:

- A new shelf unit. I couldn't fit all of my books/games, etc in my old one, so this was some great sleuthing from my parents as I never recall saying I needed a new one to them.

Closed. Open.

- Dexter Season 2 on DVD, with the evidence bag.


- Dexter: An Omnibus and New Moon (I've been wanting these for a while)


- Chocolate and Queen of the Damned.


- Movie voucher and $25 shopping voucher.


- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 and Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime (I accidentally left these at my nans, thats why I dont have proper pics).


My english teacher sent this in the mail. It arrived yesterday, but I didn't know who it was from at the time, but held off to open it today. I didn't know she liked me


And finally, my mum went the extra mile and, knowing my love of Dexter, made me 3 plaques to do with the show: A blood splatter, barbies head and a blood slide sample.


I also got tons of chocolate that I've already eaten, some really nice clothes and about $600 altogether from family members. I normally wouldn't get this much money, but I really need to get a new computer for school, so I got some extra help

Merry Christmas everyone!

Well it's both Christmas and my birthday today so I thought I'd just combine both lots of presents here:

From my mum:

5 Driving lessons with the RACV
$50 Village Cinemas voucher
$50

Fable 2 CE
Transformers G1 Collection (FUCK YEAH!)
White wireless 360 controller
1 pair of shorts
2 t-shirts
Mars chocolate stocking

From my Girlfriend:

Birthday-
Quicksilver wallet
The Nightmare Before Christmas special edition (The new awesome one)

Christmas-
PS2 console
An extra controller
The Matrix Path of Neo

My girlfriends parents and sister:

Birthday-
$100 JB Hifi Voucher
2 tickets to Village goldclass

Christmas-

From the rest of the relatives:

Birthday-
$70
2 T-shirts

Man I got a **** amazing haul this year. My favourite present is easily the Transformers G1 collection. The Village giftcards and gold class tickets means I can go to the cinemas a heap of times without having to worry about paying for tickets and the money and giftcards mean I can get Burnout Paradise, Mirrors Edge and Dead Space. Whoo!

Good haul! The Pantsu is pleased!

Supernatural S3
The Shield S4

Kirby Super Star Deluxe (DS)
De Blob (Wii)
Sample pack of mini Absolut's
fat candy-cane
Wasabi peas
A stencil of a logo I made for a 'secret project' that might never go anywhere... but it's fucking cool!
Big Black and Red paint markers
Brown spray paint (for the stencil)
The Best Fucking Hat yet. I swear. You just wait for a photo(s)
A wall-mounted clock, made of solid wood, shaped like a cat's head, and painted with black-board paint (so you can draw on it)

Well pleased, to say the very least. Seriously. From the stencil down were totally out of left-field and just about the best things ever.

Not a great haul.

Black DS Lite. Pretty good, but still felt a bit off.
Chaos Marines Codex. Excellent, exactly what i asked for.
Science is Golden. (Karl Kruzenlicki) Sigh. I get one of his books every year.
Spherical Wooden Puzzle. You know, the ones that drive you mad.
Queen : Some album i forget. Sorry, um WTF.

And a little chocolate.

And thats it. Will probably get one more consolation present tomorrow, but 99% chance its a "because we're related to you" present.

Christmas this year was such a non-event. I picked/gave a fair few great presents for other people, and got 1 thing i asked for.

Spare me the "though that counts" stuff. I know.
