How was your Christmas? Did you get any cool gifts?

I got some amazing gifts from my family. I received many nerdy t-shirts, such as one portraying Rorschach from Watchmen, a Coraline shirt, and a Gurren Lagan shirt. I received several books: A Man Called Ove, The Sandman (by Neil Gaiman, the literary love of my life), Dante's Inferno (in modern English), and The Prodigal Prophet. I got a massive box of 100 Grand bars!

The candy, not the currency. It's my favorite candy bar and I received a similar box last Christmas!
Additionally, I received a fantastic print portraying several Studio Ghibli characters! I fell in love instantly.

Today I visited all my relatives and played a fantastic game my brother received for Christmas:

Yes, it was as awkward as it looks.

I enjoyed seeing my relatives, since I rarely see all of them outside of holidays. What did you do today?

Of course, I celebrated a fantastic birthday today, one that is truly unforgettable.

Journey! It's the 1 year anniversary of my favorite lo-fi electronics song, produced by the talented In Love With a Ghost alongside Snail's House! I've made a chapter about it already, why haven't you listened to the song yet?

Oh, there's Jesus too.

Love and Peace,
