Some lovely Sennheiser headphones, a camera and some fancy Paco Rabanne aftershave. My aunt is also psychic and somehow knowing i want my own minibar gave some fancy shot glasses and some Absolut. I did well!

My parental units gave me a navigator for my car. Because I always get lost. And my boyfriend gave me a new damper pedal for my electric piano.

Shale at leastt

What? Shale?

Anyway, I have only listened to it until about track 7 so far so I dont have an opinion but I don't think its bad at all. Its yet another album that the anti Brian Johnson crowd won't like yet doesnt differ to a degree that you cant just lump it in with every other AC/DC album. If I didnt know what to expect from it by now I'd be a bit of an idiot really.

Hehe my cousins were joking that we should get a GPS for my mum for that reason.


I didn't ask for anything from my mum so she gave me cash and a few 'safe' presents. My brother didn't have anything for me but that's ok - he's poor and starting uni this year so he needs all the money he can get. I bought a nail kit for my mum and I'm building a new computer for my brother.
