So Much for Santa

Stuff Christmas!

The Stevieling gave me a complete set of James Bond movies. They were titled in Japanese, which gave me pause. I have no idea if they are actually in Japanese because Japan is in region 2 and our player only plays domestic USA region 1 discs. ****ing Hollywood protectionism.

The Steviemum gave Mrs Stevie and Me matching digital music players. Hers is all right, mine has a wonky switch forcing me to listen to static on the in-built FM radio and not allowing me to interfere in the playback order of any songs on the thing.

It fair shakes my lifelong faith in the Rampant Consumerist Society. At least the Leatherman tool that Mrs Stevie gave me is still working.

So far, anyway.
