Happy Christmas!
I fell asleep about 9pm last night (my schedule's all messed up) and was startled awake at 11pm by my sister via Skype. Right on time. (I was surprised actually, as my sister had still been awake at 4am Texas time... meaning she didn't sleep at all last night.) I was a little too grumpy maybe, considering that I'd been expecting the call. Guess I hadn't realized how tired I was. Anyway, so as to let me go back to sleep as soon as possible, they opened their presents from me first.
My dad's I ordered and sent via American Amazon. I hope he likes it. I figure it's got a little of everything he likes - action, adventure, lovable characters, heartwarming scenes, wholesome values... *crossing fingers*
My mom's I bought at that kimono store in Harajuku. It was just a swath of dark blue silk with white and lavendar silhouettes of butterflies on it... That is, it was until I stitched the sides together into a scarf. Yappa! Anyway, my sister and I figured it was a serious enough colour and nice enough fabric that she can use it to accessorize at the office even.
Ba had told me about how she and Jonathan are collecting dishes off which to eat their dumplings and sushi. So while in Tsukiji, we picked up four sauce dishes for the two of them. I'd wanted to get Jonathan something Engrish (or fugu even), but we just didn't have time.
And I had no formal present for my sister. :-( (No matter what she says, having her here with me was not a present to her.) I'll have to send her something super-cool for her birthday I guess.
My sister and I bought exotic/gourmet-looking treats for Tigger at that kitty store in Odaiba - lobster, shrimp, and whole fish whose name I did not recognize but they looked exciting so we went for it. While voicechatting with the family last night, they fed Tigger some of the lobster and informed me that he was continuing to "lick his chops" afterward. So I guess the treats were a success. Really, I shouldn't have had doubts. I mean, if anyone is gonna do fish right (for cats even) it would be the Japanese, right? My sister then tried to convince Tigger to purr into the mic. It didn't work, but it was cute of her to try. ^_^
Last but not least I opened my present. Who's a happy camper today? Let me tell you, The Head Set's new song sounds so much better with bass! (Yes, that's the first thing I played on it. And yes, setting up the SoundDock was the first thing I did when I woke up.)
My family really spoils me. I'm kinda glad I wasn't there for Christmas this year, because there's normally such a pile of presents that I feel guilty. (I think it's an extension of my being "the baby" of the family.) Even the SoundDock feels like too much, considering how well they fed and treated me over Fall Break. But this year it's my sister and Jonathan's turn (I hope)! *evil laugh*
Oh! I almost forgot to show you all how glorious the newest addition to my Apple accessory family looks in the morning light.
