Upside down, you've got it, Tsucchan. I meant to say the wiki view is fix'd now. No worries there.

'-'
There you go.

I have to say one thing, and that is this:

I HATE CHRISTMAS.
Because of all that damn sucky music.
THAT I HAVE TO SING.
Stuck in my throat, bleh.
So with that said, I won't be seen for the rest of the day, since it's concert day, yan.~

I just do what Kenneth Ã...lborg does.   It gets you through.  ;P

Hey, it may be the commercialized bastard child of two very different religions, but I happen to think Christmas is pretty great.

Yet having spent nigh the entirety of my time in high school in chorus, I feel your pain Nejin-san.  I can only imagine what it would be like for me now as compared to then.

Only two?
Christmas is a lot bigger mix of different mid-winter festives, ranging from old roman, turkish/greek and some other I cant remember.

Nowadays it's just mostly known for its cocacola santa and "must buy presents" capitalism propaganda.

And never forget, Lucia!

Although that's not much elsewhere, is it...

How quickly I forget, thank you VonDaab.  I was mainly thinking of the festivity and feasting during the holiday (Saturnalia/Roman) and the Christian aspect as indicated by the name.  Of course, the various imagery associated with Christmas has roots in many different religious celebrations.  In any case, it has very much indeed become an engine for capitalism, but I still love it despite any religious or commercial overtones.

I love Christmas...the music can get a bit annoying, and the commercial aspects I kinda hate...

...though it really doesn't feel like Christmastime for some reason. It's like Outer Mongolia in January outside right now-- cold, dry, and it gets dark at 4:20 in the afternoon. I can't get used to that last one, especially. TT

Hey, don't fret, you still get your hours of sunlight. I've got a brief moment of relative brightness between, say, 9:30 and 3 in the afternoon, and it's not even midwinter yet. Winter Depression is a very regional affect.

[Alex S]

With any luck, I'll get Pokémon Diamond/Pearl.

[NejinOniwa]

Really, I don't know shit. ^^

A watercooling package for DELTA would be one hell of a treat, though ^^

[IanDanKilmaster]

Well, it's funny how I'm finally at the age where I appreciate the gift of knowledge, that being said, I could really use a book on Python - hopefully there's already a book for version 3.0 (I'd like to learn both the current/old version and v3.0).  I'd be lying if I said there weren't any video games I wanted, though.  Really I should be begging folks for new computer components more than anything else.

I normaly dont get anything, least for the last 8 years.  Tho this year a coworker friend threatened to get my a Glock and holster... only because he knows I hate them -_-
