• The Spoils of Jesus' Birth

  

  Ah... Christmas. The perfect time for friends and family to gather around to loot and pillage for treasures conveniently located in a little town called Underthetree. After eating a hearty bowl of Frosted Flakes for Christmas breakfast, I proceeded to do several subtly loud morning activities, such as sing in the shower and "trip" on the stairs. Once everyone was awake at a reasonable hour (0600), we proceeded to, as I said, loot and pillage. My haul, while not large in quantity, was high quality. First and foremost was the gift that I had actually asked for: an iPod. I must say that after having an entire afternoon to play with it, I love my new toy. It combines two of my favorite activities: listening to music and making lists. The only real problem is that it is an 80GB model, and I am having great difficulty filling that thing to capacity. I already put almost my entire CD collection onto it, which amounted to about 841 songs and only a measly 3GB. I also downloaded some episodes of MythBusters and the third Blue Collar Comedy Tour, but that only took up another 3-ishGB. I hope to try and get some anime on there if possible. I also got some new clothes for work, which amounted to a new tie, two shirt, and two pairs of pants. Other than the tie, none of them fit, which makes for another holiday tradition of going back to many of the stores and making returns. I also got some myrrh, but I don't really need it. I would return it, but it seems Balthasar didn't leave a receipt. I think he meant it as a gag gift. What a wise guy.
