Toys2Wow. It’s been a little while, hasn’t it? As of now, I am savoring the two more free days before I must go back to school. Until then, I will continue to just eat, sleep, and sit here on my butt while browsing the interwebs.

In a way, it’s also quite amazing how much time I’ve wasted. With all these days off, I could’ve made a movie. I could’ve built something. I could’ve done something totally awesome and productive that would have given me a feeling of satisfaction and maybe even some profit. But I haven’t.

I blame it squarely on the Nintendo DS.

I suppose this is where I’ll start introducing some of the things I received for both my birthday and Christmas - they’re both in December - so if it seems like a pretty dang good list to you, keep in mind this is for more than one occasion. My family is actually not that rich. Really.

  1. Onyx Black Nintendo DS Lite (It’s about time. Before this, my only handheld was a Gameboy Color.)
  2. Planet Puzzle League (Very addictive.)
  3. Transformers: Autobots (Not bad for a licensed game.)
  4. Western Digital 120GB external hard drive (One of the newer, smaller ones that can slide right into your pocket. Very nice.)
  5. New camera tripod (Very nice as well! It’s much more robust and sturdy than the crappy tripod I was using before, and it even has built in remote-controls on the handle if you have a Sony camera. Bada-bing.)
  6. America: A Citizen’s Guide to Democracy Inaction (No comment here. If you want some good humor, check this one out.)
  7. Numerous small toys, candy, money, and other things that you probably don’t care about.

So there you have it. Of course, I realize that Christmas isn’t about getting free stuff. With that, I hope that everyone had an opportunity to relax and be with their families. Have a happy new year.
