Thought I'd try to get back on track with this in 2007, especially now that I can post from work:

This one is a 4-parter, please check your work before handing in your papers. Eyes on your own answers, please! can you tell I have spent the last few days holed up with a teacher?

1. DVDs: AbFab (seasons 1-5) & Valley of the Dolls!

2. Nitrous oxide.

3. Like you, I'm rather amazed that no one bought me any books. But it's not like I need 'em anyway.

4. Chocolate! I'm all chocolated out from various holiday feeding frenzies. However, I strongly suspect this will pass.

i love me some Calamity Jane. Just ran through season one in a day, am itching for S2.

You won't be disappointed--I think s2 is even better than s1. I love Deadwood so fucking much it's scary!

I got a ton of books this year! Somewhere between 25 and 35, I'm not completely sure. It was pretty awesome.

Holy shit. The fates decided you needed to read! It'll keep you busy on your commute, I daresay.

Well, to be fair my wishlist was something like 80% books. And for my "big gift" of the year T's Mom bought me John Sandford's Prey series in paperback, so that was 15-16 books right there. I need train reading, and those books are *perfect*. They are great for crime/cop type books, and I can't read anything too involved when I'm paying attention to train stops and there is a lot of noise around and such.

AB Fab!! I bet you two had a great NYE. And dude, nitrous oxide?! Care to explain.

My stepmom always buys me books, but gave me cooking stuff this year. All I really wanted was the new Alex Cross book and the local grocery had it for 25% off. Too bad I was too into fanfic this weekend to read it.

AbFab is a great way to bring in the New Year.

The nitrous oxide was a gift from a friend of my sister's. I don't really get any kind of...er, um, enjoyment from them, so I gave 'em to my sister.

But I have to say, your sister wins the Lame Gift Award: PIZZA CRUST MIX? Duh.
