Hello all my Blogger friends, and a Happy 2010!
It's been an exciting and fun Christmas/New Year's Week for me. I am honestly an extremely lucky person around Christmas time, because I get almost everything on my list every year. So while I won't bore all of you with everything i got, I will mention my favorites.
My wife got me:
This awesome Darth Vader USB hub, which was much needed as I had run out of ports.

Which allowed me to hook up my new gaming Keyboard and Mouse from my Parents.
The three gifts combined to allow me to get another lvl 80 in World of Warcraft over the vacation which I was very happy about.
The best present from my in-laws was definitely Optimus Prime:

I haven't opened him yet, but I am going to tonight. Yes I'm aware that he is ages 3 and up, but I am "up", and I like transformer toys, :).
The best present of all though was a complete surprise!
My best friend Darque combined my birthday, the Mrs. Graduation, which was the week before Christmas, and both our Christmas presents to give us:
A 5-disc DVD changer Surround sound system. This literally gave new life to over 500 DVDs that I have, and showed me for the first time what all the "fuss" was about. I had heard surround sound before, but never with weather effects or maybe on underpowered systems. This baby however CRANKS! When Iron Man blasts off, the room shakes slightly. The explosions in The Bourne Identity scared me, along with the lightning in the 13th warrior and Twister. It sounds like a mini-thunderstorm is right there in my room. I had wanted a SS system for years too, so this was such a welcome and unexpected surprise. It took me a few days of research and a trip to the store, but I got my DVDs and Blu-Rays to play through Surround Sound without issue. I can't help but think that everything from the TV to the PS3 being Sony had something to do with the relative ease of set-up.
As for New Year's, my wife and I watched movies, played WoW, watched Dick Clark, repeated the earlier activities, and just had a nice day.
New Years Resolution: none
Goals for 2010: Move to Colorado, get Jobs, Lose some amount of weight, and live happily ever after.
Maybe not that last one just yet, but definitely a place of our own. Here's to the start of a new decade, new year, and new futures!
I hope all of my readers had a Very Happy Holidays, and a wonderful new year.
