Merry Christmas!

Well, today has been great so far, although when I woke up my throat was rather sore. But it's okay now, so my Christmas hasn't been ruined. Yet. I made out pretty well this Christmas as far as presents go. Here's a list of what I got:

• DVD - Moulin Rouge
• DVD - Run Lola Run
• CD - The Best of Sun Records
• 2002 Far Side off-the-wall calender
• Boxers
• Cheques totaling $135
• A pasta machine (yay!)
• A book about how to make and cook pasta
• A pasta fork
• Ghirardelli chocolate
• A =huge= tin of Altoids
• Gummi candy
• New Levi's (much needed, might I add)
• Some very nice chopsticks (thanks Morah!)
• The Iron Chef Official Guide (also from Morah)
• The Apocalypse Now Book (very cool, thanks Kris)
• A nice pair of slacks
• A =very= nice Banana Republic shirt

So, all in all I think this Christmas has been pretty good as far as presents go. I've been helping my parents cook Christmas dinner and am learning a lot of the techniques and recipies that I've been eating for years. We made the dressing then stuffed the turkey with it and now it's all in the oven. At about 1p we'll start the basting process (or so I'm told). Another important event happening today is talking to Morah on the phone! I don't know at what time I'm going to call her, but it'll be some time this afternoon. Let's see, anything else? Not that I can think of. I'll be sure to let you know about how the pasta making goes!

Today's forecast: Clear, sunny skies.
