Mon 29 August 2005 - The birthday haul
Not a single dud:
- Many nice cards
- The new Ocean Colour Scene and Missy Higgins CDs
- One of those super great and almost scarily sharp Yoshikin Global knives — seems to cut through stuff super smoothly… I’ll be sure to keep it out of the way of my fingers
- Michael Farr’s book about Tintin
- All three Matrix movies — must schedule a marathon at some stage
- The last Lord Of The Rings movie (thus completing my set) — ditto, but it’s a daunting prospect
- A very cool scarf
- Robert Cringely’s book Accidental Empires — I re-watched the TV show recently, so this should be a good read
- Really interesting book called Freakonomics
- 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die — I’ve got a lot of catching up to do
- A very nice looking bottle of wine
- Groovy t-shirt — like the scarf, from the very cool Village Idiom shop in Yarraville
- Some money, which I’ve put towards a pair of new shoes
- The company of some friends and family accompanied by fine food and drink
Thank you to all who contributed to a great birthday.
