I suppose I'm about the only person I know that hasn't seen The Two Towers at least once. Leave me alone, I'm getting around to it.
I'm trying to think of what to get my wife for Christmas. She's talked about some wacky floor cleaner (the Floormate, y'know, the one with the sexy Australian man in the commercial), but I don't have a good vibe about that. I think I'll get her set up with a website for one; that'll give her a place to write stuff and put pictures up of her art. Big brownie points...
She wants a circular saw. (Yes, my wife is not your run-of-the-mill girlie girl.) But she's already getting a gift certificate to Home Depot, from which she can buy her belovéd saw.
This brings up the subject of Christmas. I hate the Americanized concept of Christmas. I love the idea of remembering Jesus' birth, of remembering (more importantly!) His life, death, and resurrection... but I just hate the requisite warm fuzzies that go along with buying retarded fad gifts and generally spending a bunch of money. I've figured that between the $100 worth of gifts I get and the $100 worth of gifts I give, it's a push. So why bother?

We obviously have differing standards when it comes to this sort of thing.
