…OVER!
I went out today and finished the shopping. With the exception of some stocking stufferish items, I think we’re done for the year. By the end of this week (or early next) most items will be wrapped and the Australian packages will have been mailed.
It’s good to have it done, and I think we’ve gotten some good swag this year 🙂
What we don’t yet have is easily the #1 item this Christmas – a Nintendo Wii. Although I’m not going out of my way to find one (I still expect they will become common in a month or so) I am asking at the stores when I am there. I was about an hour too late at Toys’R’Us this morning (they put 53 out at 10am), which is about the closest I have been to finding them in stock. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find one before Christmas…who knows.
I rarely post youtube links, but here’s one for the upcoming Sims game for the Wii. Notable because it is being made by EA Japan and looks *nothing* like previous Sims games. In fact it looks quite fabulous: Wii Sims
My FF12 save file is just shy of 100 hours…and I barely played it this past week. I have to spend some ‘quality time’ with it after this final week of school is over…
