What Gifts Did You Receive?

I got everything I asked for, and more!
Well all I asked for was a Konica Minolta digital camera, which I got.
But I also got Elf, Napoleon Dynomite, and Jaws on DVD, and the new U2 CD, pajama pants, and some candy. Oh and I got the Daily Show's America: The Book. ^_^

My mom actually forgot to take Elf out of her trunk when her and my dad were wrapping presents...she tried to sneak it in but didn't do a very good job of it.

I got pretty much everything I wanted, except one thing (Red vs Blue Season 1, which I'm going to buy soon), but I got so many gift cards it's insane. Here's the entire list:

$500! from grandmother

With that kind of money, I could by a PG Zeta AND Mk.II! Ah...

Anyway, I got a lost of discs.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam: Rounds 7-9
I'm definitely gonna buy the last set. It's such a shame that ep. 45 isn't on the same disc as the rest of the Lantao Island arc.

Rurouni Kenshin: Volumes 1-6 - Woot! This'll keep me and my dad occupied.

MST3K Collection Volume 5 - Just watched the Touch of Satan. Kind of a downer how he won in the end.

1776 - Excellant. A new 4th of July tradition.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - As soon as I post this message, that's what I'm playing.

My Loot:

A digital camera, w00t! It's a Kodak Easy Share, 5.0 megapixels. I've been taking pictures of all kinds of stupid stuff today in my excitement.
Nifty printer/scanner/copier that'll hopefully print out my digital pictures really well (I haven't gotten a chance to install it yet)
Carrying case for the camera
512 MB memory card for the camera
The Art of the Incredibles book (gorgeous concept art in there!)
A calendar of 'The Incredibles'
An Alfonse Mucha calendar (dunno what I'll do with two calendars, but they both rock)
The Princess Bride DVD
The Iron Giant DVD
The Marx Brothers movie collection-- has the only five movies that all four brothers were in (I'm going to force the family to watch 'Duck Soup' later! )
Bobby Darren 'Greatest Hits' CD
Some very soft black leather gloves
A cute pink purse
A little sampler of Victoria's Secret perfume (it has these pretty little bottles of eight different scents-- It'll take me forever to use them all up!)
