What I got for Christmas...

I could have posted this last light,but was sidetracked after reading still-breaking news of the most powerful earthquake to strike anywhere in 40 years and the even deadlier tsunami it triggered.Actually,since I'm not in the business of depressing anyone,here's what I got for Christmas(all from family members):

• A hooded Nintendo sweater
  
• Instant Immersion Japanese Deluxe(5 CD-ROM's and 3 audio CD's)
  
• A Casio e-Data Bank EDB-610 watch that also features a data bank,calculator,World Time,and other features
  
• Another hooded sweater(a grey FILA one)
  
• A new pair of Slacks
  
• A rugged pair of boots/work shoes
  
• A 2005 World Almanac(the most recent edition I had was the 2001 one,and I hadn't even bothered to update because somehting big always seems to happen every year...)
  

Also,since it's already tomorrow(the 27th)in Japan,happy 30th birthday to Fumiko Orikasa who voiced Chise in Saikano...
