Isn't "house of flying daggers" in movie theater right now?

Yeah,Thor,and New Police Story isnt even scheduled to be released in the states,but I have my sources in Hong Kong :naughty:
Jimmy

Seriously,my hong kong source is an Ebay seller in Hong Kong who always hooks me up with high quality HK DVDs,not the pirated ones you see too often on the Bay.
Jimmy

well my A7's were bought with christmas cash as well as ny old northern electric PA/guitar to be amp...... cost me 340$ in total and i've still got 10$ more to pitch into whatever else i've thrown in at the new years party! scandanavian style, 2-3 days long

Got $100, a down vest from my sis, a Rodney Dangerfield doll from my G/F, and a WHOLE buncha bills in about a month! Happy day !-Sandy G

Well, for Hannukah I got an iPOD!!! :banana:

Yes! Finally, no more CD's in the car! Everything is handy right at the fingertips. Long car trips without stacks of jewel cases falling under seats! Woo hoo!!!! :yes:

Well, I got a few nice new shirts, some wine glasses, and some Home Depot cash cards, but we gave the girls a PS2 with DDR (Dance, Dance Revolution) and a set of mats.

My ceiling has been pounding for hours! I'll tell ya, this is one video game no one gets fat on laying around playing :yes: My 12 year old was on it 5 hours Saturday and I had 4 preteens on it last night when I went to bed.

I love that they love it and are being active, but I wish it wasn't literally right over my head in my listening/computer seat :sigh:

Bam bam, bam bam bam!!

Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus
First two seasons of Northern Exposure
A much needed new jacket!

As always, I got too much for Christmas. For us, Christmas is mostly about the kids. We bought for ourselves, a new computer and a new camcorder. And the Mrs. and one of my sons picked out a beautiful new watch for me.

But the best present I got? On Christmas morning, my new born took a 3 hour nap in my arms. Then she woke up all smiles. Now that's a Christmas present.

You would think that this would be a pretty exciting present after putting 430,000.km on the old Acura right? But no.. All I could think of while I was writing the cheque was "...that's four MC275's and a C200, or an SME 20/2 and a MkIV arm and ...." You get the idea... Still its pretty nice.
Best Wishes of the Season to All!! :thmbsp:
