So, what did you get?

**Frownland** · 12-25-2014, 10:01 PM

My sister's record came in the mail on Christmas Eve. Before it came, I ran out and picked up some deodorant as an interim present until it came with the pretext of telling her she smelled and not telling her her actual present was actually on its way. But the package was there by the time that I arrived back home, s0 I gave the deodorant to my mom (and explained the situation of course, I'm never rude to my mommy).

Still would have been really funny though. I'm kind of disappointed the USPS tracking was full of **** and said it was in Kentucky.

My mom handed me $50 said, "Merry Xmas". I gave it back and said, "Merry Xmas, this is for you and Bruce".

Bruce is my stepdad.

By the way, I forgot, I got a book on screenwriting and one on general filmmaking, which is pretty cool.

My family's pretty cool; the only clothing I received was a John Lennon T-shirt.

I received three vinyl records

Primus - Frizzle Fry
Beatles - Rubber Soul 2014 mono reissue
Revolver also 2014 mono reissue

Also received the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before you Die" (or something like that)

You really are my kind of guy

I got a huge amount of DVDs, all films I either love or have wanted to see for a long time. Chief among them was a huge Film Noir boxset combined with a book about it that's the heaviest book I have ever held.
Also got a new satchel, which is cool because the one I had before had been going for a long time and was on its last legs.

In terms of records I just got England Keep My Bones by Frank Turner, but it's my favorite album by him, so I'm happy.
I also got a $50 Amazon gift card, so I'm going to use that to order a few more TBD, I'm leaning towards You're Gonna Miss It All by Modern Baseball, A Record by Laura Stevenson and the Cans, War Elephant by Deer Tick or Transgender Dysphoria Blues by Against Me!

I got a little turntable with built-in speakers that's exactly what I wanted. I'm happy I can listen to my vinyl again.

Oh man, I love film noir. I grabbed a set of ten noirs at walmart for $10 a while back. Nothing terribly noteworthy, but all good films.
