I offered my girlfriend and myself a trip to London. (had to give 16 maths lessons for it lol)

I received 150 euros, a box of habanos cigars (cohibas), chocolates, a stainless steel flask (for alcohol), and the chance to live a life where survival is not an issue.
I do feel really thankful about a lot of things, christmas is a little reminder ^^.

My mother bought me a book titled Computational Gasdynamics. Anyone up for a spud gun simulation accurate at transonic velocities?

My father bought me two albums by Van Morrison.

I also found a copy of an old out of print book titled "Shape and Flow: The Fluid Dynamics of Drag" for $3 in a used bookstore and bought it for myself. It's apparently a classic introduction to the subject. I think I'll use is a gift in the future.

Red Ryder 200 Shot Carbine Action range-model BB gun with a compass in the stock and a thing which tells time... Legit.

About 200 dollars worth of lowes gift certificates, a hand drill that makes my computer crash if I run it on the same power circuit as the computer (ITS BEASTLY), and a flash drive the size of my thumbnail.... They just keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller....

I got a nerf gun that will be modified into some sort of semi-auto thing. Should be fun.

Most importantly I got my Fridgy working yesterday by a Christmas miracle! Post will come soon. Its my favorite thing EVER. Its so silent it took until today for my parents to know it was working.... and I got it running yesterday and used it almost constantly.

I have a red rider, and I'm convinced it would be safe for airsoft use.
