I hope everyone had a good holiday season; I certainly did. A couple days off from work, time with family & friends...it was bliss. The lack of snow was a bit of a letdown, but hey, that's the wonders of global warming for you.
I got some fun new presents as well. My parents got us a beautiful new dining room table; Jaime bought me a couple Lomography cameras (I'll post some pics after I develop my first reel) and some books, CDs and clothes.
So what did you get? Any cool new music or instruments or other assorted ephemera? Post a comment & a picture if you have one.

I bought myself about 7 new plants for the apartment - i couldn't be more pleased :)
what's lomography?
Wax Poetics looks like a pretty nice magazine; good brother-in-law indeed!
I have a Fuji Finepix myself & I love it. It's one of the easiest cameras to operate, but they're still very versatile.
Lomography is basically just a trend among some amateur photographers of taking cheap 35mm cameras and tricking them out with fisheye lenses, colored flashes, altered shutters, multiple lenses, etc. for weird, unpredictable photos. If you do a Google Image search for "lomography" it should pull up quite a few examples.
I'm planning on bringing my new lomo cameras to your party so you can play with them then! :)
my mom got me an orange county choppers shirt. I was like 'huh?' also, 'love' by the beatles...thats a little more up my alley...all in all a great holiday!
