I dunno, I fucking hate christmas shopping and all that it entails… Anyhow, since I’m lazy about buying Winter Solstice gifts here’s a few stupid gifts I bought people…

Macademia nuts. My grandma is often mistaken as a U-haul and loves food. She’ll love this gift.

Queen of the Damned. My GF actually asked for it making her like one of 38 people who liked the movie. She seems to like cheesy vampire stuff although strangely does not like Buffy the vampire slayer TV show. I’m not sure which is worse, Queen of the Damned or my bro’s GF liking the movie “Honey”.

Queen of the Damned is definitely worse.  At least with Honey you get Jessica Alba… it’s like choosing between a horrible movie vs. a horrible movie with her.  Definitely the lesser of two evils.

In a bizarre book gift exchange I’m giving “Fred Savage: Totally Awesome”.  That is by far, the worst gift I’ve ever given.

I’m giving Hairspray to my dad. A man with only 3 more hairs than Homer Simpson. Proberbly due to all the hairspray we’ve bought him over the years, thinking about it.

bah humbug, I hate x-mas.

She asked for ‘cheap headphones’ to go with new Yamaha keyboard, I just bought some Sennheisers for £75, so it was ‘kind of’ stupid….

I bought my GF a toaster. She’s never let me live that one down. raspberry

In fact, sometimes I think she married me just so she could bug me about it for the rest of my life… rolleyes

A toaster doesn’t strike me as a bad gift if you have a really shoddy one like mine or a non-functional one like my parents. Its not like buying a B-Rate MTVish Vampire movie….

Bought my mum a copy of Annie Hall and she burst into tears… I had no idea she had all these emotions about a film. Apparently she used to dress like the female character in the film and this brought back loads of memories.
