I bought my first brand new car the other day.
2016 Kia Sportage Ex Luxury. Leather interior, heated and cooled seats, panoramic sun roof, reverse camera, satellite radio, folding mirrors, all wheel drive and a glove box that can become a drink cooler.
I feel so successful and adultish.
Bonus points for the fact that I'll be using it to pick up a nice lady for date number 4.

Also I have cupcakes.

Matching red lightsabres for my boy and I. Thanks Santa!

Among other things which I will list later.

Now having pancakes with 100% gen-you-wine Canadian Maple Surple! The good stuff! Yum!

Grade A or Grade B syrup?

The distinction between the two is very real.

I wonder who will have the nerdiest Christmas haul this year. That's already a strong contender.

[LinearPhilosopher]

very happy with the gifts this year. Tons of clothes, some nice cologne and BOOKS

-Tractatus Logico Philosophicus by Wittgenstein
-What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets- Michael Sandel
-First as tragedy, then as farce- Zizek
-French Philosophy book from an unknown author, good find.

Time to bury myself in my books.

Finally saw The Force Awakens!! First Day, First Show!

[Maark Abbott]

Well yesterday's Christmas dinner was my best yet. Really happy with how it turned out. Also found a copy of King's Dragon and the single-book 1400 page version of Way of Kings for a combined total of £8. Wheyyy.

The sweet raclette set we got from my parents! Dinner party at mine, peeps!

Our new 4k tv makes everything look so incredible I'm going to have to watch all my blu-rays on it again.

Just watched the T-rex scene from JP with the surround cranked up - just awesome.

Someone in my house decided to treat himself to the same. He has just finished setting it up now and trying to decide which Bluray to watch first. I was hardly consulted so get to act like it's a frivolous expense while enjoying a brilliant new tv!

Boxing day. Wandering one of the City's biggest strip malls, no actual desire to buy anything, just seeing I anything catches my eye. Smirking at the incredible line-ups. Scoping out a few trinkets and gadgets that aren't on sale, so i'll grab them after my next paycheck when there's no crazy crowds.

Then randomly strolling into Canadian Tire and finding a nearly-deserted sports section and a size 5 soccer ball lying in the clearance rack. Under 10 bucks, and I now have a cheap practice ball. No more excuse not to practice my finishing.

Walking out with no line-up, catching the last bus back home before my transfer expires.

Small things all, but pleasant nonetheless.

Also, picked up The Aeronaut's Windlass for 30% off

I've just got an iron pyrites (fool's gold) sphere. Just the right size to hold. A simple tactile thing. Oh, and a kitten. Both sources of joy!

Fortunately someone in my house hinted before Christmas that maybe we could get a bigger tv.. so I took that as an opportunity! I didn't even know about 4k tvs until about two weeks ago - I have kind of avoided the issue of how much I actually spent but at the moment she's so impressed with it that I don't think she cares!

What did you name them?

[worry]

Someone did. His name is Brandon Sanderson. 75% of the book was about sucking on these while the other 25% was about people in ball gowns moping. It ruled pretty hard.
