Missed me? Sorry, I’ve been sick. Well, that, and busy with the holidays. Coming home exhausted after dealing with all sorts of family over the holidays doesn’t lend itself very well to blogging. Couple that with the fact that I’ve spent the last 3 days or so with the Cold To End All Colds, and you can see why I haven’t been around too much. My apologies.

Anyway, getting back on track, I bet you’re all just itching to know what goodies I got for Agnostica (X-mas to you poor superstitious fools), aren’t you? Well, here goes:

• SanDisk 512MB SD card for GlitchX (I had to hard-reset Glitch and rebuild it, so it earned the X after the name) - This is actually the present I got for myself, and I bought it a few days before the 25th, but who cares, I’ve gotten so much use out of it since then that it’s become one of my favorite presents. I have to post an updated GlitchX profile with all the new stuff that having 512MB of storage on it allows me to do…
• Kingdom Heart: Chain of Memories (plus hintbook) - Natalie was kind enough to get me this one, and it rocks. I’m a huge Kingdom Hearts fan, it’s one of those games that just completely devoured my soul back in the day, and I’d been lusting after this one and the upcoming PS2 sequel ever sicne I finished the first one. I’m having a blast with it so far, and the storyline on this one picks up exactly where the first one left off, and from what I gather, the storyline for the next one will pick up where this one leaves off, so it’s sort of Kingdom Hearts 1.5. The card combat system is surprisingly good, and I love revisiting the worlds from the first one (it’s been long enough since I played the first one that they feel fresh again, plus building the worlds as I go along with the Map Cards makes it interesting as well). Oh, and for those of you who will undoubtedly bitch about having to revisit all the old worlds and how it’s just a rehashed version of the first one, shut the fuck up. The line to suck my dick starts here.
• Green ‘Hug a Pug’ shirt - Another gift from Natalie, this is a big green shirt with a picture of a pug and the caption ‘Hug a Pug’. Pugs are, of course, the epitome of all that is dog-like in the universe, and are to be worshiped and revered as uberdogs, ergo, this shirt rules all.
• White long-sleeved t-shirt - Natalie’s grandparents actually sent me this one, and it’s a good fit, looks nice. I’ll use it for special occasions, methinks.
• New Shoes - Mom got me a pair of new brown leather shoes, just in time too, as my old pair was starting to fall apart. Of course, I always do that: wear a pair of shoes until they fall apart, then buy a new one, and wear that pair until they disintegrate, ad infinitum. The concept of having multiple pairs of shoes is lost on me. Brown leather shoes go with everything, anyway.
• SpiderMan 2 DVD - BEST. SUPERHERO. MOVIE. EVAR. ‘Nuff said.
• Lord of the Rings - Return of the King: Extended Edition - Actually, this one was a gift to Natalie from her dad, but I’m gonna go ahead and claim it as my own. 4 hours of movie and like a bazillion hours of special features. All I need is a colostomy bag and I’ll be set to watch the Extended Editions of all three in one sitting.

That’s pretty much it, methinks. So, what did y’all get for Agnostica/X-mas?
