Well... My Christmas Die Hard viewing is done with... Now what to do with myself?
Brad Bird should have done Avengers. I still am not fully confident in Whedon.
Yeah, but who could've seen coming that an animated director would have done such a great job on not only his first big budget film, but his first live action film.
There's a big difference between directing live action and directing animated movies, and Bird impressively made the transition
But Bird directed things I enjoyed before without NPH and Nathan Fillion carrying it for him.

I got a bottle of Jack and a 100 bucks.
Christmas was pretty low-key overall this year for me. Usually the immediate family all comes together for a diner at my Grandparent's house, but a lot of them had some expectancies arise, so a lot of them didn't show. Not a big deal, but it made it feel a lot smaller than usual
Gift-wise I mostly got cash and clothes from family, per usual. From friends I got some gift cards, The Beatles' Revolver (I think this is becoming a bit of a running gag), and someone told me they ordered the seasons for a HBO show called Carnivàle, but they didn't get here on time. I didn't know anything about them, but he seems to think it's right up my alley (I wikied it and it does seem interesting). And someone got me a Sailor Moon disguise pen key chain, which I thought was pretty cute, and a new journal.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and my LCS guy let me have a copy of Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes! for free, too. Pretty nice gift.

Or hipster taste in clothesI got a fedora, an argyle pullover, and some new pants. My old man taste in clothes is sufficiently satisfied.

Sounds like what British comedian Russell Kane calls the B*****d audit where you gather up all your swag and lay it before you lording it upSo how did everybody do swag wise? I know I sound like a dick but I'm always slightly disappointed by my gifts. Though it's my fault for wanting expensive things. This year wasn't bad though. A whole bunch of gift cards and the like.
