I don't see iTunes gift cards as being incompatible with eMusic.  I've got a good half-dozen albums I'm interested in that aren't on eMusic--either major-label stuff, or some indie label that just doesn't have a deal with eMusic.

I just don't like the DRM'd files or the weird file type. So if it's not on eMusic I'd rather have a real CD. It just doesn't seem worth it to burn the CD then re-rip it into a good format. Plus I have relatives and friends who like iTunes so I give the cards to them.

It's just pulling up to the 25th around here! I'll doubtlessly awake to the screaming of three younger brothers and a cacophony of electronic beeps in a few hours. Hope you all have an awesome day.

Merry Christmas East Coast and England.  55 Minutes away here.  However, I am playing me 8gb iPod Nano now (this thing is awesome-8gb flash drive :o ridiculously tiny :)).  Have a great Christmas everybody, enjoy your loved ones.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Whatever you believe about Jesus, it's hard to argue that the basic ethics he taught, "Love your neighbor as yourself" wouldn't make for a happier world.  Here's hoping we all try to live with love.

Peace.

I have been hella sick, so I just woke up to gargle some salt water and drink some vitamin C bev.  It sure is sad without Kellichou and the rest of my family here. I hate being stuck in Alaska for the holidays! Oh well, it's a beautiful place and I shouldn't complain.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Merriest of Christmases! I only gave one present that someone already had (at least, that I could tell). I also felt like a straight-up grownup, because I went to get myself some coffee and take out the dog before I opened anything.

Also: I guess it makes you a grownup when people feel OK telling you "man, I know this is a good present... but you should have seen what we almost got you! It sucks that it was sold out, huh?" I have not yet given my Special Lady her present, and so I am basically jumping up and down waiting for her to wake up... she doesn't have any younger siblings, so I'm sure she's going to take a while. Tonight, I subject multiple members of my family to either Rushmore or Royal Tenenbaums.

Happy Santaday! I feel bad because I totally missed Candleweek, and some of my best friends light candles.

Merry Jesus Day, everybody.

May peace reign and may you not hear today whichever Christmas song you hate the most.

Some years, that can be the greatest Christmas gift of all.

(I've only heard "Christmas Wrapping" once this December and I consider myself blessed.)

I vote for the Royal Tenenbaums. Arguably one of my favorite movies ever.

yeah, people seem to be leaning towards that one. It was super awesome when the first thing I opened was a Thelonious Monk CD from "Santa" (you know, to throw my younger cousins off the scent)... all sitting there, sipping coffee, grooving to thelonious, my uncle being all "wow, is this Thelonious Monk? I love this guy!"
And then my other uncle made Breakfast Burritos, the Ultimate holiday tradition in our family. The day is not complete until we all eat a big ol' burrito with eggs, cheese, sausage, and potato.

We ate hella cinnamon rolls, and it was rad.

Anyway, the big thing I got for Christmas this year was a shiny new Nintendo DS and several import games for it, which has led to an engaging morning of trying to figure out game manuals in a language I'm not really all that literate in. ("So... to save... I have to talk to a frog? ... Oh, here is a helpful diagram about the various consequences of a cowboy and a pig getting into a fight. God bless you, Japan.") There have also been some books and CDs and, bizarrely, an array of foot-care items from my mother, who may be trying to send me some kind of Message.

Another sign that you're becoming an adult:
ME: (going through my stocking) Oh, neat, an index-card file! It's got compartments so I can keep notes and recipes and stuff in!
MY MOTHER: Um... (V), your gift is in the index-card file.
(It turned out to be "surprise! We paid your credit-card and cell phone bills for December, plus here's some money!", which is also a thoroughly semi-adult kind of gift, but I'm still juiced about the file. I'm gonna hold so much stuff in it...)
