    I got a few DVDs: Airplane!, The Emperor's New Groove, and Serenity. We have to take Serenity back, since my dad got it in fullscreen by accident. I also got a new CD player, which I didn't need. It's the thought that counts, though.

    My mom got me a fire extinguisher...

    I had a wierd dream Christmas eve that I got a PSX system (the special PS2 with extra features), since what I plan on buying for myself is a PS2.

    I made out pretty well this year:
    Nintendo 64DD (no games yet)
    Famicom Disk system (+6 games)
    I also had an Atari Jaguar boxed come in on the 24th with 9 boxed games and later that day found an APF TV Fun! (pong clone) at a local chain.

    Yeah, disappointing but I wanted the blue box version instead of the randnet package so it was a little cheaper with nothing but the system and box.

    Yeah I had to really keep on top of ebay. I finally searched one time and it had just been listed about an hour before with a cheap buy it now. At one point I think I was searching multiple times a day.

    My christmas was devoid of games, unfortunately -_-
    I got an i-mode phone, some clothes and junk, a Jeremy Clarkson DVD ^_^, Franz Ferdinand's latest album, and most importantly - a big Toblerone!

    Jeremy Clarkson rules! I can't stop watching Top Gear episodes i downloaded. He's always making fun of Richard "Hamster" Hammond.

    Some of the episodes i got show the "buy a working car for less than 100pounds" and the one that he interviews Simon Cowell

    Yes, at least where I live, because "Japanese people don't sweat as much as foreigners," as they always are happy to tell me. They haven't smelled their adolescent boys, then. :p

    You can buy roll-on deodorant, and even some type that has anti-perspirant in it, but your pits really just end up smelling like alcohol for a few hours, then you need some more. I've gotten used to the western anti-perspirant stick, and it's what I swear by. Smells good all day, and sweat never shows up on my white shirts.

    Besides, since you can't get the western stuff in Japan, it's a new smell to them. I have had 2 girls ask me what kind of cologne I wore, because it smelled so good. They called it "Chris' smell".

    Better than smelling like butter, eh?

    Update: Serenity is awesome and I encourage all of you to buy it. I also bought Depeche Mode's "Devotional" DVD yesterday.

    Is it one of those small safes? I mean what's the point in putting your prized posessions in them if I can just break in, pick it up and take it with me, where I'll eventually break into it.[​IMG]

    Future christmas gifts...

    -A $1600 custom built laptop for college.
    -PSTwo
    -Get the windows to my car tinted.
