kooky camouflage (?!) neck-warmer and camo duck-hunting baseball cap (?!!?!)
Jeff Buckley's hauntingly beautiful Grace CD (expanded version w/ 2nd disc of rarities, plus a DVD with all the Grace videos!)!!
Rufus Wainwright's impressive Want Two CD, w/ concert DVD
cool little weird WotW tripod-looking vibrating massager thingy from HoMedics

(gave Kent: The New Yorker complete archive on 8 DVD-roms

from Grandpa:
good cash!

(gave Grandpa: awesome NASCAR book w/ memorabilia in sleeves & much miscellaneous swag, book on art at the Cincy Art Museum, book on something else - i forgot, Seinfeld season 4 (i think?) DVD)

Holly's parent's:
cool blue fleece throw - warm but light as a feather!
one of those massive entertainment coupon books

i am certain i am forgetting a few things
transmothra: (zippo trick)
for X-mas, Holly got me:
  • Run Lola Run
    • a wonderful, stylish German film about parallel time and choices
  • Harold and Maude
    • the greatest love story ever told on film; very offbeat and with masterful editing/pacing
  • Do The Right Thing
    • there is almost no need for any further investigation into morality and the human condition after this film
    • Holly noted that the famous pivotal scene in which Mookie throws the garbage can through Sal's shop window was an act of salvation; in doing so, he may have saved Sal's life
    • RADIO RAHEEM LIVES!!!
three of my favorite films of all time!!!

and gorgeous, sweet little teenytiny Speck, the wonderdog! part Chihuahua, part Jack Russell Terrier, and all playtime fun!

we're going to watch Godzilla: Final Wars in a bit.

it's a wonderful life.
