« Catch 22 : The Bday haul »

Turns out it's my birthday today- yeah, really!

I'm now 22, but i've yet to feel any difference. Okay, so maybe there's some mild fears and apprehensions that i'm a year older and even further removed from being a teenager and more an adult, but these feelings will probably get worse before they get better. I think. But the good news is that with each additional year comes a whole lot of goodies people have kindly bought too celebrate the occasion, undoubtedly, the best thing of any birthday. Here's what I got.

  • Leonardo da Vinci, The Complete Works
  • Father Ted, The Complete Scripts
  • Castles: England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales
  • Radiohead- "Kid A"
  • Radiohead- "Amnesiac" (from the rather awesome Jon- thank you kind sir!)
  • ...Trail of Dead- "Source Tags and Codes"
  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (on DVD- read the books, catching up with the films)
  • That Mitchell & Webb Look, Season 1

...and finally, The Sims 2 'Teen Stuff' expansion pack.

I sent a link of my Amazon Wishlist to my parents before my birthday, so this is all the nice stuff they brought back with them. More than I was expecting, but I wont complain about that. I'm hoping to review some of the stuff for here too, but, well...better not make any promises. The three books are particularly good, and though there may not be any Lego or games -i'm pretty sure I can cover that myself- i'm pretty chuffed.

I still don't feel '22' though...

Cheers! Glad you also got Kid A to complement Amnesiac. No go enjoy them. :)

Hey. Happy Birthday for yesterday - envy you the castles book and the sims stuff pack (although I do hate the whole idea of paying for stuff packs).

OHara, same here generally, but if people go and buy said pack for me then I have a tendency not to mind as much. ;)

Damn, I've been so out of touch!!

Happy belated Birthday Richard! *J offers Richard a birthday cake that he obviously didn't bake himself*
