Why, Disneyland? Why do you have to be fucking incompetent about paperwork?

This is probably the worst time ever for me to not have money.

My girlfriend and I exchanged Christmas gifts early, so now I'm rolling with a Kindle. I'm not a big "physical books only" person, though I do like having them on a shelf after I finish them, very few of my friends are actually readers, so I can't really loan them out or anything. I appreciate the book as a physical artifact, but when I just want to read something, without time limitations, I dont really want to burden my tiny room with more stuff. That said, I wish I'd had this thing years ago. It reads fucking amazingly, and I'm still amazed by how realistic the e-ink looks. It reads as well as a regular book and with the ability to change font sizes and such, in some cases better. The weight of the physical book is gone (provided you're reading something heavier than the Kindle, of course), which is great for extended works (Think Dracula, or The Count of Monte Cristo). So far, favorite feature: Works that are out of copyright are free. As a reader of older literature, classics, epics, poetry, things of that sort, this is huge. Now I can spend the money I ordinarily drop at B&N only more important stuff. Like booze.

Not much to say on this, really.

Got some presents for my family for Christmas! :3

Got a coffee mug for my mom.
Some Microsoft points for my dad.
And Fallout 3 for my brother.

It was hard to choose for my brother since he wasn't being specific when he was asked what he wanted.
