December 26, 2001 (idea)

Gains:

• LOTR (although not hardback)
• Catch-22 (in hardback)
• One scanner/printer contraption (yesssss!)
• One awesome set of crystal glass fountain pens with a silver inkwell (!!!)
• One leather-bound journal
• Socks and underwear (yay.)
• 50 dollars from various sources
• Corduroy pants
• Some other stuff, probably.

• 20 bucks for St. Germain's CD
• 30 dollars and about eight darkroom hours for presents for my family
• One girlfriend (which went over with her miraculously well)
• One oil painting by me (for my new ex-girlfriend)

So Christmas worked out pretty well this year. Nobody died. That's a relief. (whew!) Happy Holidays to ALL!
