The Whole Xmas Bundle!

So before getting through all the other posts I promised, this one will be about all the cool neato thangs I gots this year. So here goes the list of things:

First I'll mention the sticking stuffers, one of which I spend way too much time with. So got two classic card games; Uno and Phase 10. Played uno a lot as a child so I expect to play it more with roommates and friends. Phase 10 is more of a rummy-type game. For the most part you get the same card set as one would get with uno, but you have to get a certain list of cards for each "phase". That's the main gist of it.

Along with the cards I got a new fidget... These darn toys always get me hooked so easily. All you do with them, is well... fidget, but you can do some really cool things with them. This one is merely a set of 216 magnetic balls. OH THE MADNESS! Because you can separate them all you can make some fun structures, which to describe would be way to difficult due to the dimensionality of them. When I get back to the dorms I'll take some pictures of things I've made. DONT YOU SEE THE POSSIBILITY FOR MADNESS!!



ON TO THE GIFTS:

16 TOOL MULTI-TOOL!!! THAT'S RIGHT 16!!! A mini saw, good knife, multiple screwdrivers, pliers, scissors, and a filer. But seriously, A SAW! Clearly it's not gonna be big enough to like cut a tree down, but that doesn't stop me from considering it, just for the hell of it. So much fun to just flip through.

STOMP ROCKETS! These aren't you're silly kiddy stomp rockets either. No no no, these have FLAMES ON THEM. That alone makes these for ages 16 and up. A few flames made a 10 year old toy become a 16 year old toy, hells yeah. I have yet to try them, but the claim is that they can reach 40 stories.... haha so silly.

<-No those are the wimpy rockets..YES THOSE ONES, WITH THE FLAMES!->

Not much for gaming this year, only got GOLDENEYE for the Wii. The remake of a classic game for N64 that practically created the first person shooter genre of gaming. I'm still going through the original, but in regards to that finally got through Control in 7:04, which means I got INFINITE AMMO CHEAT. AHHH SO DIFFICULT. STUPID NATALIA KEPT DYING! STOP STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM, IT'S NOT HARD!

MOVIE!! What movie you ask? Only INCEPTION, in BLU-RAY and dvd, but BLU-RAY! I did see it before, but seriously it's INCEPTION, GOOD MOVIE!!

....

I knew I was forgetting something, had to go get it out from after the cleaning. SPHERE CHAIR!! Not quite a papasan chair, still damn comfy. It's like a perfect college chair; easy to move, really soft, rather large (all the better to sleep in), and has a good head rest! I saw the small version and it had NO HEAD SUPPORT. Sitting in the small one I felt like an infant that can't hold it's head up. Sitting in a lounge chair you want to rest your head. NO, YOU DON'T GET TO. HOLD YOU'RE HEAD UP WHILE YOU LOUNGE. Stupid small chair...

Yes that thing on the left. It is amazing. Won't go to school this year, next year though in an apartment. OMFG ITS GETTING FOGGY OUTSIDE! I CAN'T SEE MY NEIGHBORS!

Now to books. TWO OF THEM. NOT ONE, NOT THREE, TWO!! Lowly Origins by Jonathon Kingdon.. hehe Kingdon like kingdom, but with an n... So it sets itself up as a book exploring the "When, Where, and Why our ancestors first stood up." I'm really slow at reading, so still working on Bill Bryson.... I'll get there... eventually... maybe... next year.

Ah yes the other book. This is will be a lot o fun given my past experience with putting the opossum skeleton together. What you didn't hear about that? WELL I'LL GET TO IT SOME OTHER TIME! Besides, it keeps falling apart, making me mad. It wants to be set up, but gravity says NO, THOSE LEGS WANT OFF!! So gravity rips of it's legs, and then gives it scoliosis, and rips the pelvis in half. I'ts not a pretty sight. I never thought an untenable force could make something look like road kill... ANYWAYS BACK TO THE POINT! I want to do more of these skeletons, but I have to go out and find them IN THE WILD OOO YEAH! TOTALLY HARD CORE THAT WAY. The book will help in identification of them, at least when I find just bones.

Finally, SUGAR. Yes sugar. That magical substance that can make anyone seem like they're on crack or speed, and still be legal. Classic Lindt chocolate, some sugared popcorn (?), and Moose Munch.... Yes that's right pieces of moose with sugar on it... wellll ok, more like some chocolate snacks that look more like reese's cups. But they have popcorn, caramel, and nuts instead of peanut butter. Kinda strange, but that's what crazy grandma is like.

AND SOCKS. NICE BIG WOOL SOCKS! SO COMFY, SO WARM, SO WOOLY, SO SOCKY. THE LABEL HAS YOSEMITE ON IT, THEY JUST GOT EVEN BETTER!

I FORGOT ABOUT MY MOCCASINS. Been wearing them all day, I forgot I had them on. But nice cozy innards for warmth and utter softness.
