What Have You Received for [Holiday]?

For disc golf. Each disc does a particular thing (you have discs for putting, mid-range shots, drives, etc.). They all fly slightly differently depending on how they're shaped too. This here is an overstable driver, meaning it'll curve left and crash hard at the end, which is great for left-turn fairways or really windy conditions. I've been meaning to get a new driver for next Spring and I'm pretty pumped about this one.

No, I didn't. And I know, right! You'd think my mom would have known better.

 

Seriously, though, I'm not a huge fan of the stuff, myself. It is true though, most of the disc golf players out on the course are biiiiiig into the weed. There's a few of us who aren't. Like, literally, a few.

my mother, and she loses some awesome points because she made me buy my own presents. or maybe she gains them in some people's eyes, but i prefer to be surprised and delighted by how thoughtful someone was when shopping for me. i bought myself howl's moving castle too. it's my favorite miyazaki film and i somehow never owned it.

Awesome, AWESOME movie. I actually was playing the soundtrack on my iPod on the way to work.

 

We do lists in my family. It takes a lot of the fun out of it but they were good and surprised me by finding my Amazon Wish List.

yeah, we do lists too and we usually just make them long enough so that it's still a little surprising and / or we'll give general ideas but she flaked out this year and told me to shop for myself. i mean, not bad at all, not really complaining but a little of the fun got sucked out of it.

 

edit: dan, i've gotten them to watch totoro. and they like castle in the sky. my sister is afraid to let them watch howl's moving castle because i like it (meh, can't say i blame her so much, not exactly known for having the most child appropriate taste) but now that i own it it's inevitable that they shall see its greatness.

 

second edit to fix terrible grammar.

well, if you filter out the dark they're whimsical and enchanting. my sister loves them but gets upset with them at befuddling times and asks me if all japanese people are like that, to which i remind her we're both american and nothing alike. she was so mad that the mother in ponyo left her young child home alone she even once told me that if she'd known that she wouldn't have let her kids see it. she's a nutbar.

That sounds like what my parents did with movies. Although they were probably much, much worse. Seriously, growing up, I swear I was only allowed to watch a handful of movies. They'd get all weird about the strangest things. I swear to god we were forced to walk out of the Care Bear movies because there was too much magic? SUPER CONSERVATIVE!

 

They're so much better now.
