Me and Willie gave eachother a Nintendo DSlite with homebrew cards, few weeks ago, with christmas in mind. She has a cute pink one and I a cool business red one. This means we can finally have our virtual gf/bf on love plus and solve arguments over a wifi game of mortal kombat (she wins usually). Mine runs nitrotracker for the making of the music and MSDOS to boot, so I can play skyroads, old adventure games and commander keen (hoorah)!

Merry xmas.

A nice warm ski jacket
Wine... like eight bottles of wine :)

But the best is:
My friend is an ace cook and she's going away for eight months, I eat dinner with her almost every week so she wrote all of her recipes down and gave it to me for Christmas.

My GF got me a private flying lesson in a cessna--I had like ~15hrs against a private license in my late teens. She also signed me up for an intro to scuba diving course. It's being held in that cool cave from the movie "127 hours" with James Franco.

Damn, this movie is so dumb, and they cut from the falling down the crack in the desert to where the water actually is up north, but here it is:



It's actually a really awesome hot-spring cave pool thing that's about 50 feet across and 80 feet deep! Kinda scared, but at least there are no sharks!
