Post-birthday stuff
Apr. 9th, 2004 10:23 amYeah, I didn't post on my birthday. I had the opportunity to spend most of the day watching DVDs and playing videogames (I adore Airburst, and cannot wait until Airburst Extreme is finally released). So yeah, took a break from LJ.
Didn't do much in the way of actual celebrating, although I'm planning a lunch next week, depending on scheduling.
Did have one of those things happen to me which no one, ever, should have happen on their birthday. Suffice to say, it won't be happening again.
As for the gifts,
shadesong's parents got me three DVDs: Tokyo Drifter, The Thing, and The Third Man. These were all DVDs that were stolen when we were robbed, and all DVDs that I consider essential to any movie colletion.
Shadesong got me Futurama Vol. 2 (with the Lost City of Atlanta episode!), the third collection of Y the Last Man (
glenn5, was this the one you felt there was a plot hole in?), and an IOU on Sethra Lavode, the final book in Brust's Phoenix Guards saga (it was just released, and shipped the day before my birthday)! Yay! Best. Fiancee. Ever.
Then, at the end of the day, the UPS guy showed up with a package from
morenasangre (well, from Amazon, but you know what I mean), containing Season One of Six Feet Under! Yay! This was one of the single best seasons of TV I've ever seen. It's also got the best packaging I've seen on a DVD set in a long time. This gift just rocks.
Finally,
volta arrived, and gave me Futurama Vol. 3 and Genius: The Best of Warren Zevon. Both essential items in my house.
So, yeah, not much celebrating, per se, but a nice day, with some nice additions to the DVD shelf.
(oh, and Mom sent a check, which will go towards some Amazon buying next week).
