Great Swag
As it’s the end of the year and that tends to have some religious significance
for a lot of people they give gifts to celebrate. This year I went along with
it (not in a religious manner mind you, just the gift giving) and gave gifts
to my friends and family, although I am going to change that this next year
(due to issues beyond my control my bank account took a beating this last
month, which would have been lessened had I done gifts during the year. Oh
well, laugh at me if you must). At any rate, I also got good swag this year.
- One Flew Over the Cookoo’s Nest DVD (2 disc edition)
- Brazil DVD (Criterion Collection edition)
- The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes
- Gift Certificates to Amazon.com, Amoeba Music, Land’s End, and Target
By far the oddest thing I got (and not a holiday gift, but swag and a gift
none the less) is one of these:
I’m not sure what to make of it being given to me, but I think it’s cool
regardless. It definitely has great craftsmanship. The engraving on top is
from Evil
Bikes and is a skull with flames and gothic lettering (

That I love. The skull is so perfect (although the skull and flames a bit
larger would have been even better :)
