Xiaolin Showdown Cards for Sale!

squeakaree — Wed, 15 May 2013 22:34:37 GMT

The game doesn't seem to have ever caught on, which is a shame since the cards are beautiful. For that reason, Wudai Warriors cards are harder to come across. I managed to gather a complete first set; however, I am missing one Wudai Warriors premium card, the Cactus Thunderbolt. If you have it, let me know! I am open to buying it or trading for it.

Here are the spreadsheets with a detailed inventory count! (Last updated: Sept. 28, 2021) They are color-coded.

Purple means premium card (holo).
Dark blue means Omi-themed.
Light blue means Raimundo-themed.
Red means Kimiko-themed.
Orange means Clay-themed.
Grey means evil-themed.

I also have a bunch of two-player starter sets! Feel free to ask for them if you're interested in trying the game out. They're only $2 each, and come with two holos!

Thanks for looking!

Trip to Arizona - Days 7 and 8 - Live from HOME

squeakaree — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:34:12 GMT

Okay, I'm back home, and I'm bringing updates as to what I've been up to during the last few days of my trip. I'll upload photos as soon as possible!

Day 7

- Got up at 8:30 (OMG THE SUN!)

- Breakfast at the hotel.

- Left hotel at 11:30. Headed to Las Vegas now (WOO!)

- Passed the Arizona/Nevada borders about 3 minutes later, at 10:33 Nevada time.

- Arrival in Las Vegas an hour and 30 minutes later, at noon local time. Elevation: 2156 feet.

- Drove on Las Vegas Boulevard. ("Say 'I do' Drive Thru". Only in Vegas can you marry without even leaving your car.)

- 52°F. WOW! Some rain, nothing bad.

- Passed by Circus Circus at 12:17 (stayed there on my first time in Vegas, back in 2001 I believe? The second was in 2006; I stayed at the Tuscany that time.)

- 12:23 : Parked at the Wynn. Visited a bit... MY GOD THOSE BATHROOMS... with... 10 feet high doors...)

- Only in Las Vegas do you get background music as you walk on the sidewalks.

-Walked to Treasure Island, then the Mirage... Stopped by the giftshop of Madame Tussaud's museum... Took a picture of Johnny Depp's wax statue there.

- 2:15 : Bought tickets for Love at the Mirage for tomorrow.

- 2:40 : Stopped by McDonald's for a bite.

- 6:00 : Back to car after hours of walking around on the strip and getting lost twice in some hotels/casinos.

- 6:30 : Checked in at Super 8 motel.

- Went out to walk around on the strip again. (You should see the traffic... If you think New York's got it bad...) Grabbed something to eat at Subway. Went to M&M's World store (my favorite), Coca-Cola's store, and some other little boutiques.

- 10:30 : Back to room. My feet are killing me!

Day 8

- Got up at 9:30.

- Went for a drive on the strip while we still had the rental car. Drove to the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign (which has been a historic place since 1959) for a photo.

- My father dropped my mother and I at the motel to return the rental car for 12:15. He came back by shuttle.

- Chilled at the hotel until 2:15.

- Went to walk on the strip again.

- 4:15 : stopped at Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon to eat.

- 6:15 : Arrival at the Love theater at the Mirage hotel.

- The show was good, but could have been better... They focused way too much on the Beatles' psychedelic phase, as like 2/3 of the songs were from that period.Paul McCartney supervised this... and yet no Yellow Submarine for their psychedelic years? I call blasphemy. Isn't a hommage supposed to center on an artist's best hits and not their obscure music nobody remembers? Seriously, I'm not a fan of Beatles' music, but I know a lot of their songs, yet didn't recognized a lot of what they played! But anyway, the show was great visually, though there were long moments that were boring. And we were at the balcony, which costs less, and offers a great view (as Cirque du Soleil shows usually have lots of things happening in heights). The first rows got covered by a giant bedsheet at some point as a part of the show... Yeah, I bet you had a great view, folks!

There's not much to say after that... on the 12th our plane took off at 11:20 and we arrived in Montréal about 5 hours later. I'm exhausted, and have like 80 unread emails in my inbox!

- Stopped by Jim Gray's Petrified Wood Co. Amazing giftshop to visit; a real museum! Has awesome fossils to admire.

- 9:12 : Headed to Petrified Forest.

- 9:25 : Arrival to Petrified Forest National Park. Stopped by giftshop, got a free petrified wood sample, then entered park at 9:53. Costs US$10 per vehicle. Drove through park; some interesting places require to leave the car and it's freezing outside (friggin" wind)! Luckily you can stay in the warm comfort of your car most of the time.

Day 6

- Got up at 7:30. Snowing again. Joy.

- Had breakfast at hotel.

- Left hotel at 9:33. Headed to Seligman.

- Arrival in Seligman at 10:50 after a long, painful ride through yet another snowstorm. Realized we lost a wheel cap and got a flat tire in a pothole. Managed to quickly fix it, fortunately.

- Visited giftshop until snowstorm stopped. (That "Tacos - Malts - Burritos - Dead Chicken" sign amused me)

- Left Seligman at 1:25. Headed to Kingman, a 1 hour 15 minute ride from Seligman. Snowing again! (more moderately this time, but still...)

- Arrival at Kingman at 2:35. Stopped at a gas station, visited a bit until 3:35.

- Headed to Oatman, driving on Route 66, hoping for the best (aka no more crappy weather).

squeakaree — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 04:23:44 GMT

I bring updates!

Day 3

- Got up at 6:10.

- Stared in awe as the sun rose through Monument Valley.

- Went to the hotel gift shop. Was surprised that they didn't sell that DVD of Monument Valley that we got at Goulding's Lodge giftshop.

- Heading to South Rim Grand Canyon. According to our GPS, it's a 3 hour 15 minute ride from where we are.

- Saw a donkey running near the road. Took a picture.

- Stopped by McDonald's at Kayenta for breakfast. A dog was hanging around the door. Took a photo. The dog wanted me to pet it, so I wholeheartedly did.

- Stopped at a gas station at 10:55. Found out that Coconut Flavored M&M's exist. Took a bag even though I hate coconut; I was curious. (never found any anywhere else)

- Stopped by Tuba to see dinosaur tracks. Spent 10 minutes there. Costs whatever you want it to (donation).

- 12:30 : Stopped by Cameron Trading Post. Bought some more souvenirs.

- Stopped for a scenic view of Little Colorado.

- When we got back to the car a black stray dog was laid down in front of it. Took a picture, petted the dog, then left.

- Entered the Grand Canyon National Park (from the South Rim of course) at 2:40. Paid passage of US$25.

- Drove through the park. Stopped at various scenic views. Those ravens are pretty photogenic. Not only do they land really close, they stand still for hours and even seem to strike poses for the cameras.

- Reached Tusayan at 6. Altitude: 6540 feet. Checked in at Holiday Inn.

- Went to Yippie-ei-O! Steakhouse for dinner. Ordered a Tusayan Tenderfoot (8 once sirloin steak on a bun with fries). Came with a sharable salad too. All the waiters were dressed as cowboys. Our waiter even agreed to be photographed. Good thing I hadn't eaten much during the day!

- Got to hotel at 8. Chilled out.

Day 4

- Got up at 6:45.

- Quick breakfast at hotel.

- Went to the Grand Canyon National Geographic Visitor Center at 8:30 to make reservations for Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopter Tours for 9:30.

- 9:00 : Went to check in for the tour. Delayed : too cloudy. Had to go back at 10 for news. 10:00 : delayed again. News coming at 11. We cancelled and went to get the next best thing: the IMAX movie of Grand Canyon. Bought tickets for 10:30. Lasted 35 minutes. Pretty nice movie, but too much emphasis was put on the Colorado River and not enough on the cliffs.

- Drove to Yavapai Point. Took photos.

- Decided to walk from Yavapai Point to El Tovar Hotel. One point seven miles, took 25 minutes. Got caught in the snowstorm halfway there.

- Took the shuttle from El Tovar back to Yavapai Point. Arrived at our rental car at 1:30.

- Left the National Park. Headed to Holbrook. About 2 hours and 50 minutes to get there, according to the GPS.

- Snowstorm raging as we approached Flagstaff. Driving very slowly and carefully... Apparently we're near Snow Bowl at that point. Very appropriate name. Altitude: about 8000 feet. Lowered to 6909 as we reached Flagstaff, then 6000 later.

- No more snow as exited Flagstaff. Joy.

- Heavy rain and high winds as we approached our destination.

- 5:06 : Finally reached Holbrook. Altitude: 5000 feet.

- 6:00 : Checked in at Super 8. US$65 for the night (a lot better than the US$128 the Holiday Inn nearby charges), breakfast included.

- 6:30 : Dinner at Pizza Hut, right next to the hotel.

- 8:00 : Back to hotel. Found a computer with Internet access. Logged on my LJ account.

- 9:30 : Got back to room to rest.

Day 5 : Heading to Petrified Forest, try to pass by Route 66, head back to Flagstaff.

Trip to Arizona - Days 1, 2 and Beginning of 3 - Live from Monument Valley

squeakaree — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:13:48 GMT

This is what I've been up to these last two days. Note that I might not be able to update in the near future as not all hotels offer computers with Internet (or computers period). I found the only one available in this here hotel and thought I'd use the opportunity to update. Sorry there aren't any pictures, the computer doesn't want to recognize my SD card. I promise I will share my photos with you as quickly as possible.

Day 1

- Left home at 5:45. Got to the airport, passed the security tests... Quick breakfast at Burger King. Had French toasts sticks.

- The plane took off at 9:36.

- Arrived in Las Vegas about 5 hours later, at 11:36 local time.
- Recognized most of the hotels in the background, such as the Luxor and New York New York (been there twice before, after all).

- Took the shuttle to an area where we can rent cars. Rented a black Subaru Impreza.
- Stopped by In-n-Out in Las Vegas. Had a double-double (double the cheese, double the meat). I wish we had those restaurants back in Canada.

- Drove about 5 hours until we reached Page, Arizona.

- Stopped by a Safeway store to buy some snacks, including a box of Twinkies. I've always wanted to try those and seeing Zombieland had only fueled my desire.

- Had dinner at Pizza Hut.

- Had my first Twinkie.

Day 2

- Got up at 6:30.

- Had a quick breakfast.

- Stopped by Horseshoe Bend. Had to walk about 15 minutes to get there. At an altitude of 4300 feet, you're out of breath very quickly.

- Stopped at Navajo Tribal National Park at 9:39. Bought tickets to go see Upper Antelope Canyon at 11.

- Stopped by Big Lake Trading Post to buy a postcard for a friend. Tried a Ruby Red Squirt soda (Citrus Berry Burst). Not sure what it tastes like, but it tastes good.

- Stopped by Wal-Mart, checked for stuff we might not be able to get back home. Bought “Late Night All Nighter Cheeseburger” flavored Doritos. The concept amuses me. Might try the Taco-flavored ones next time. Also bought Cherry 7Up. Man, I wish we had these at home. I always buy some when going to the U.S., ever since I learned of their existence back during a short 2-day trip to Plattsburgh.

- Drove back to the National Park for 10:40.

- Embarked the truck towards Upper Antelope Canyon at 11.

- Slightly bumpy, very windy, ten minute ride.

- One hour tour. At this time of year there are not many people so it's perfect. Zack, our tour guide, was very nice and even offered to take beautiful pictures of the Canyon for us, including "The Heart of Antelope Canyon" and "Sunset on Monument Valley", which we would never have gotten otherwise.

- Back to rental car at 12:30. Now headed towards Monument Valley, about a 2 and a half hours ride to get there. Elevation of the route: 6000 feet.

- Tried the aforementioned cheeseburger-flavored chips along the ride. I really wonder how they manage to reproduce the taste so well. You can even taste the pickle. Still prefer the real deal, of course.

- Arrived at Monument Valley at 3 o' clock.

- Stopped by Goulding's Lodge. Bought some little souvenirs at the gift shop.

- Heading to check in at The View Hotel (reservations already made via Internet). Paid a $5 dollar fee to enter the Monument Valley Tribal Park. Won't have to pay again if we get out; the hotel will give us a pass.

- Drove through Monument Valley. Took some nice photos. Bought a handmade necklace shaped like a dreamcatcher from one of the natives' stands.

- Had dinner at the hotel restaurant. Got the slowest waiter ever. Ordered the chicken fried steak because I was curious. Turned out to be a paper thin steak with twice its size in breadcrumbs and trice its size in white gravy sauce. Couldn't finish my humongous plate.

- Went to bed early. Have to get up at 6:10 tomorrow.

Day 3

- Got up at 6:10 to watch the sunrise.

- Stared in awe as the sun rose through Monument Valley.

- Logged in my LJ account to update.

- Now preparing to head to Grand Canyon.

More updates coming when I can log on!

Arizona, baby!

squeakaree — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:30:50 GMT

Hi guys!

Finally! I thought I’d never get a break. School’s really horrible this semester...

Anyway! I’ll be away from March 4^th to March 12^th. Going on a trip to Arizona :) Don’t worry, fellow Gorillaz fans, I preordered my copy of Plastic Beach back in January. Thank you, ebay.

So don't panic if I don’t reply to you right away. I’ll try to find places where they have computers with Internet, so I can tell you about my trip and maybe send photos if possible. If not, I'll send photos and all when I get back.

That is all. End of transmission.

OMFGBBQYAY!!

squeakaree — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 06:22:50 GMT

Oh my friggin' God, guys! Fellow Gorillaz fans, go check out gorillaz.com!! Like, now!!

32 days remaining until... Um, I guess the release of their brand new website! Ooooh I'm so excited!!! And I'm curious about that map that traces a path from England to a spot in the Atlantic Ocean near the coast of Africa. Oh I can't take all this mystery! And everything's happening all at once... I can't contain my excitement!!

Randomness! (Because We All Enjoy It)

squeakaree — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 03:31:22 GMT

I saw this on Youtube a couple of days ago, and it’s so hilarious I just have to share it with you guys.

This comes from the sixth episode of season 4 of Family Guy. Here's the National Geographic Special on... firetrucks.

Gorillaz's New Hideout?

squeakaree — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:34:53 GMT

Found this on Gorillaz-Unofficial:

Maybe it’s the island Murdoc’s been talking about? And if so, will it replace Kong Studios? I must admit I loved Kong, but this new place looks pretty awesome and I love it :)

What I Did This Monday

squeakaree — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:11:20 GMT

- I finally went to see Avatar. The plot was very thin. But who cares, LOOK AT THE PRETTY IMAGES!! Seriously, this movie is awesome to look at. Though 3D glasses are very uncomfortable to wear when you already wear glasses. And the 3D gave me a headache. BUT IT WAS SO FRIGGIN' WORTH IT!

- I went to the electronics store right next to the movie theatre because we needed something.

- I finally bought the second season of The Big Bang Theory, which I’ve wanted to buy for months now.

- I bought myself a new computer mouse. I’m kinda sad about the old one, since it lit up and the light changed color and it looked awesome. But then like all computer mice, it started double-clicking randomly and frequently. So buh-bye b*tch. I got a wireless mouse this time and I already love it :) It doesn't light up but the color's pretty.

- And we did buy what we had really gone to the electronics store for X3 A wireless rooter. The guy’s coming to install it for us on Friday, for all 3 computers and of course, my Nintendo Wii. Yay! Now I'll be able to play video games AND chat on MSN at the same time! To quote one of my favorite video games character, "Oh the happy joy!" (Yeah, I'm a geeky girl. And I'm proud of it X3)

That concludes my pointless post! You can go do better things now XD

Why Not Rant Some More? (For Laughs This Time)

squeakaree — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 17:37:33 GMT

Yeah, why not? XD No seriously, this one's just for laughs. It happened some time ago, but it's still worth mentioning.

Let me tell you about this scratchable ticket (I don't know how you call them in English, sorry) named Sherlock Holmes. Yes, you can guess it is a promotional ticket released for the movie. But that's not the point here.

My point is, if you have a friend who wishes to come to Québec, warn them that if they ever buy this thing, to read the intructions. Because common sense isn't so common anymore, and people forgot how to read. Thus, they think they won 5000$ when in reality, they probably won only 4$ (which is what the ticket actually costs; too pricey for me), and won't trust the scanning machine when it tells them how much they really won.

You might be wondering, "But how can you misread to that extent?" Well, I explain everything under this here cut.

Here is what the dreaded ticket looks like (yes, it's written in French, but it's not important).

As you can see, there are THREE places you have to scratch : "L'enquête" ("The Investigation"), "Vos Indices" ("Your Clues") and "Les suspects" ("The Suspects"). But apparently, the first one is not big enough (and isn't flashy enough with its message of "Grand Price of 50 000$"), so people skip it. And that's why they screw up.

See, this is how it works.
- ONE, you scratch all there is in "The Investigation". You will get little pictures (tobacco pipe, mustache...) known as clues.
- TWO, you then scratch the clues you obtained in "Your Clues". Under the clues, there are hidden letters.
- And THEN, you scratch the discovered letters in the suspects' names.

Simple, isn't it? Well yeah, for those who take the time to read! Because people don't bother reading the instructions, forget the Investigation part, scratch "Your Clues" in its entirety and thus, get it all wrong because they obtained twice the number of letters they should have gotten. Don't they find it suspicious that they won 7 times?!

It wouldn't be so bad if people accepted that they didn't win as much as they had believed once you we tell them what the real amount is. But no. You see, I sell lottery, but I rarely buy any. I guess you could say it's because I know the odds. Anyway, when it first got released, there's this guy with his wife who came to claim their price. Unfortunately, it had to fall on the newbie. She scanned the thing and told them they had won a free ticket.

The guy starts screaming about how stupid she is because he's sure he won I-don't-remember-how-much and that she "must have scanned the ticket wrongly" (because apparently, there is more than one way to scan a bar code). Note that I was busy with another customer at the time and couldn't really help her out, and moreover, I had never studied the ticket. Hey, we have like 50 different kinds, and they release a new one about each week, so we can't try/study them all. (Trying them all would cost us a fortune, too) But dude, if the computer says you won a free ticket, then you won a free ticket. The computer does not make mistakes, and if it tells us to give you another ticket, we can't give you anything else, period. SCREAMING WON'T CHANGE A THING. So after a shouted rant of 15 minutes, the guy decides to leave without his free ticket and says he's gonna go complain to Loto-Québec. Suit yourself, man, you'll just look stupid. And you just lost a free ticket.

And guess what? The next day, when we booted up the computers, we received a message saying that we had to remind the rules of this thing to the customers. Apparently, a lot of people can't bother reading, because a whole lot of 'em didn't seem to understand how that darn Sherlock Holmes ticket works. Fail, people. Fail.

What about you guys? Why don't you tell us about the stupid customers you had the misfortune to meet? Because unfortunately, there's a whole lot of 'em. (The Not Always Right website is proof enough. It's friggin' hilarious.)

P.S.: I apologize if my previous post offended anyone. It wasn't my intention. (I'm just feeling way more irritable than usual recently, and I guess that PMS isn't helping right now.)

Birthday "Cake"

squeakaree — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 04:16:05 GMT

Okay, so Sunday (June 21st) was my 20th birthday (many thanks to those who wished me a happy b-day!), and instead of simply going to the store to buy a cake, I had the brilliant idea of making one myself.

What I was trying to do is a chocolate caramel tart (recipe here).

But for some reason, what I managed to get doesn't look much like what it's supposed to look like. Fudge, why does caramel have to be so darn delicious, but so darn hard to do?!

I bought a frozen pie shell because I was too lazy to make it like in the recipe. I also replaced the crème fraîche with plain yogurt as I couldn't find any (our grocery store sucks big time) and replaced the corn syrup with maple syrup since I didn't have any of the former. It works well, it's just that for some reason, I messed up with that recipe. I don't understand what I did wrong ;_; I even had to do the caramel TWICE because it came out all crunchy the first time! It doesn't taste bad, in fact, it's good (especially the filling), but it certainly could have been a lot better.

Now it looks delicious...

...and now, not so much. How the hell do they manage to get such a deep-colored caramel?! Mine is so pale!!

I hadn't had any time to try it on my birthday, so I tried it on Monday, and even though it tastes okay, I was disappointed since I know it should have been absolutely delicious. I went out and bought myself an ice cream sandwich to make me feel better.

If any of you ever try their hands on that recipe, please let me know how yours came out!

Feel free to answer those (though I'd like it if you filled it out)

squeakaree — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:53:45 GMT

Gigantic Disused Haunted Studios in the Middle of No-Where

squeakaree — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 03:54:04 GMT

I can't believe I never saw that! XD

It's been on the Gorillaz website for ages, but I had always thought that it was only a joke, and that such a website did not really exist.

It appears that I assumed wrong. They actually went through the trouble of creating it.

Gigantic Disused Haunted Studios in the Middle of No-Where

I've quickly checked their "Buy" section. It seems that Murdoc hasn't had any luck in selling the Studios! He's stuck there, I guess. Not that I'm complaining!

(Man, I feel stupid. I bet most Gorillaz fans knew that already!)

LAWL XD

squeakaree — Sun, 03 May 2009 03:02:57 GMT

I've recently re-discovered one of my favorite childhood cartoons, and I'm currently trying to find more stuff on it (episodes and stuff). I'm talking about Les Zinzins de l'espace, commonly known as Space Goofs in the translated version.

During my research, I fell upon this fanart that made me laugh out loud. Oh my God, what a coincidence XD

When two of my favorite imaginary worlds collide

And yes, Candy is a GUY. A very effeminate guy, as you can tell X3 I think it's because he was born on a planet between Mars and Venus.

Wanna hear some music?

squeakaree — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 17:19:21 GMT

Sooo... I made a playlist of my favorite songs. Pity I couldn't find THRILL - Yama no Maou no Kyuuden Nite by Vanilla Mood. I wanted to put it in there!

Anyway... They're not in order of preference, they're just organized by artist. And yes, 12 to 16 are from video games. I love video game music, got a problem with that? X3 (And Tetris Type A is from Super Smash Brothers Brawl - Why the person who uploaded it wrote that Tetris was the artist is beyond me.)

URGH.

Did you guys know that the gaming machines in arcades run on Windows? X3

I'm not kidding, I went to the movies today and while I waited, I went to their arcade spot (which is nothing more than 5 or 6 machines XD) and, when I passed by the Need for Speed : Underground machine, I was surprised to see the (in)famous "Blue Screen of Death" on the screen. Oh, did I have a good laugh at that.

Unfortunately, the fun stops here. I didn't know whether to go see I Love You Man or Watchmen. I decided to go with Watchmen. I mean, sure, critics said it was bad, but they can be wrong, right? Well, it turned out that critics were wrong. Watchmen wasn't bad. It was absolutely HORRIBLE. I've seen bad movies in my life, but I don't think I've ever seen a movie that deserves a score of -500 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Nothing in this movie makes sense. The story just keeps switching back and forth between the characters, so it's impossible to follow what little plot there is. AND WHY IS THERE SO MUCH BLOOD EVERYWHERE? Most of the time it wasn't necessary! Hey, the guy has his hands tied on the cell bars. They're held by a weak piece of clothing. It was too much work to just untie him, huh? It's way more fun to just saw his hands off along with the bars! And that's ONE example. I'm not counting the people who bursted in an explosions of skin and blood.

Seriously! How many people died in this movie?! They must have killed thousands of people with their fists for no good reason. Oh yeah, like real super heroes do. And let's sacrifice an entire American state to bring peace back between the USA and the Sovietic Union. That's how we bring peace, right? By killing billions of innocent people. Oh God, and there was a 13-something kid in the theater! His parents must have freaked out so bad... There were sex scenes in there as well.

So, what is this movie about? Three hours too long! I'm surprised I managed to watch it until the end. It must be the first time I'm glad to see credits. Urgh. I should have went to see I Love You Man.

Joy Overload

Today has been a wonderful day. Okay, I've had a German test that I'll fail for sure, but even that can't ruin my good mood.

So... I've been a Gorillaz fan for many years, but as a young girl with no money I couldn't afford their stuff. Now that I have some money, I've built myself a small collection with the help of online shopping. I f-ing love online shopping. I randomly browse over ebay to find some Gorillaz stuff I could afford, and last week I stumbled upon something I HAD to get my hands on.

The We Are the Dury Interview CD. Brand new.

And I've received it in the mail today, straight from Scotland. I'm so happy!

I took the opportunity to take photos of my collection, with its new "member", so to speak.

Rise of the Ogre book, Phase 1 and 2 DVDs, and albums. Yes, I know the book isn't well centered XD

Family photo.

Family photo with We Are the Dury.

Checklist :
- Gorillaz self-titled album
- Demon Days
- Demon Days DVD Edition
- D-Sides
- G-Sides
- We Are the Dury
- Rise of the Ogre
- Phase 1: Celebrity Takedown DVD
- Phase 2 : Slowboat to Hades DVD
- CMYK Figurine set

(I wish I had the first figure set... But it's rare and way too expensive on ebay. How sad.)

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In February I bought porn for crucioed(10 points). In March I bought porn for justdoit4me(-10 points). Last Saturday I turned twicenumbedin for littering (3 points). Last Thursday I put money in taggedskizzle's expired parking meter (14 points). Last Tuesday I ruled Duluth, Minnesota as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points).

Overall, I've been nice (717 points). For Christmas I deserve a Lego set!

Sincerely,
denkinousagi

Haha, I do deserve that Lego set!

I have a lot of perverted friends, don't I? But that's okay, we all love you anyway XD
But why is buying porn for justdoit4me wrong when it's okay to buy some for sinistrasnape? That's unfair!... Oh, Justy is too young, oops!
