Gift #1 was something I've wanted forever: the entire catalog of recordings of Matty Boy's and Padre Mickey's band The Wonders of Science! 
I'm completely bowled over by this tune, and the rest of the songs on the CD are just as good. Every time I listen, I feel like I'm back in college in my old dorm room, not-reading a bunch of literature for my English classes and wondering what it would be like to be an out lesbian. Sigh. Those were the days.

Those were the days.Gift #2 was something Matty Boy has been touting forever: a copy of the Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog DVD! 
I had planned to watch it tonight (I've never seen even a second of it), but I ended up spending hours creating a new logo and header for my birdy blog... in Microsoft Paint. Do you know how hard it is to create graphics in Paint? Like trying to perform calculus with Sarah Palin's brain, my friends. Just like that. Someday, I hope to have PhotoShop and Illustrator again... someday. (Did you know I was a graphic designer from 1997-2002?)

What cool gifts and from such a cool guy!!
Happy New Year Delia!!!
Интересно написано....но многое остается непонятнымb
Fran--thank you! Same to you and yours, my friend.
Anon--Das vadania!
Have you tried paint.net? It's no photoshop, but it's light years beyond MS Paint, and it's freeware. I've had a lot of fun with it.
Did I mention it's free?
Hoping 10 goes to 11, compared to 9.
Happy New Year!

happy new year and to a better 2010
Lockwood--I'll check that out--thanks for the tip!
CDP--to you and yours as well.
PiNY--it rocks! Happy New Year to you too.
DCap--lucky me!
So glad the stuff got to you intact. Best wishes for the New Year!
My degree from Penn State is in graphic design and yes, I know what Paint is like. I'd think you'd have better luck just making something and taking a picture of it. ;)
Matty Boy--yes indeed, and I LOVE Dr. Horrible! I want to be allowed in the Evil Lair of Evil!
GKL--really? Wow! I didn't know that.
