True. We don't bother putting decorations up, but we still do cards.

This year was better than last because more family came over and I cooked Christmas dinner, which was a resounding success, so it was a good day all round. I also learned I'm going to be a (terrible) uncle.

Bought a $175 gift card off of a friend at full value so he'd have some extra cash to spend while his mom was in town visiting. Turned around and used it to fund the bulk of 2x3Tb drives so I could back up my file server in prep to physically rebuild/upgrade it.

Bought same friend the Legend of Zelda manga box set he's been drooling over for a while. Picked up a pair of PowerBags (yay for woot!), gave one to a friend, gave one to myself.

Gave my dad a GPS unit so he'll quit being lost. He'll never use it, I already know.

I think the biggest thing I'm amused by for this holiday season.... I got the Bond 50 collection on Bluray... for $100. 22 Bond movies in HD for about a matinee ticket each.

It still feels strange to me that I have a kid. You'd think that after 15.5 years that realization would get old.

If it makes you feel any better, the console version also has a shit ton of bugs, several of them game-crippling.

It's still a good game.

I received a pair of wireless 7.1 surround sound headphones. Perfect for apartment living and wanting to truly enjoy movies and games late at night so I don't wake up the soon to be mrs. and the neighbors.

A few games and a bunch of booze and microbrews.

YAY CHRISTMAS.

But yeah, I haven't really had "Christmas" for a few years now. It's just another day. My girlfriend and I went to see a movie then ate Chinese food with a friend. Was a fun night.

Karnaj had this to say about dark elf butts:
Did you get into an accident with each other?

No!

My accident was pulling out of a parking lot. Basically, we have two lanes on the road -- one is left turn, one is straight/right turn. I was trying to turn left out of the parking lot, so I had to go across these two lanes.

Thing is, the parking lot sucks shit, and is near impossible to get out of if someone in the straight/right turn lane doesn't stop to let you through. Someone was feeling kind and had stopped to let me through, so I looked and saw nobody in the left lane. I slowly pull out, but evidently someone didn't like this stopped car and whipped around them, nailing my car.

She told the cop she was 'barely moving' when she hit my car. The cop reluctantly gave me a ticket for failure to yield. My insurance company pretty much instantly said that they would try to fight it, but probably not very hard since I got the ticket.

So anyways, I resign myself to a $500 deductible. I take the car in to the repair shop (or, I should say, had it towed since the radiator was busted and other stuff was messed up, so it was undriveable) and get an initial estimate of $7100 for the repair. A few days later, I get an email from my insurance company who said that my car was basically being classified as totaled -- the damage was 73% of the value of the car.

Thankfully they gave me a very solid settlement on the car's value, and I paid off the loan with some to spare. Goodbye, Mercury Montego. We had some bad luck together, but I still liked you.

And now to find a new car in 7 days. At least I got a loan approved through USAA already for it.

Nope I had a pizza delivery guy slam into the back of my car. I lucked out hardcore though, it was when I was still slowing down for the stoplight. If I was completely stopped it may have been a different story.

But seriously, I hope your whiplash wasn't too bad. Also I hope you have unlimited tort on your insurance policy, so you can sue the shit out of him.

No. Jerk.

The guy didn't have personal insurance either, it expired. It was pretty awesome. I got the pizza place to cover it with their insurance, though, so things worked out. My whiplash wasn't too bad.
