Well, might as well start by removing the popcorn (salted)

Tbh, not really sure I can be bothered with popcorn anymore. I like it and all, but the enjoyment time to subsequent teeth brushing time really doesn't pay off...

First wrapped gift, a couple of pink tupperware containers

I asked for containers. Very... useful. And nice looking as far as those kind of things go, I suppose.

I think I'll update with a photo for every 5 presents? Otherwise it'll take forever.

More popcorn, just sweet this time

Don't really know that there's all that much t say about this...

3 headbands

Not the kind I wanted. I just wanted cheap and fairly big fabricy ones for use whilst working. Nothing fancy. Sigh...

"This is the one which will be replaced by Amazon"... okaaaay...

A book, most likely. It is. 'Lost Japan' by Alex Kerr. Looks like it's been in the snow. Not entirely sure there was much point of putting it in my stocking if I have to send it back, but I guess it's a case of not making it look pathetically empty. Book might be interesting though.

- I've read it
  
  bit boring in the places where I had no interest in the subject (kabuki etc) but the bit about him buying a traditional rural japanese house and restoring it was really interesting

Ahahaha, tights, gotta be tights

I very definitely asked for THICK VERY THICK VERY VERY VERY THICK TIGHTS ONLY.

We'll see...

Oh. Socks. I mean, I asked for them too. Just I'd kind of like some tights right now.

It's a box, and it rattles

A lot. Seems suspiciously jigsaw-like. Pretty sure nobody would be so odd as to get me a jigsaw though. Right...?

Cereal? Wtf? That's not even a present! I feel cheated. Well, still more use than a jigsaw, but...

PocketMouse | 25 Dec '10, 05:31 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Cereal in your stocking? That's mental.
  
  What cereal is it?

DVD!

Yay! So long as it's from my list. It was a very long list...

It is :-)

In the Loop. About time I watched this.

Happy :-)

Book! Exactly manga-sized too!

But I did that stupid thing again of listing the next volume in every series I own so I'd get a surprised. Didn't entirely pay off last year. But who knows?

Hana-Kimi volume 17. Excellent. I love this series. And I'm getting near the end now!

Two great presents in a row. Better open something that looks boring next.

I'll just get another bag of popcorn out of the way

Sweet. Just in case you cared.

Oooh, and photo time!

OMG - this definitely feels like thick tights

Everyone cross fingers etc.

Thick tights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...they're grey.

Well, that's my Christmas ruined. I have absolutely nothing with which I'd wear grey tights. And they never look nice.

  your mum probably read that and thought GREAT! SHE LIKES GREY TIGHTS. I'LL BUY MORE.

  - How strange
    
    Well, I never wore that [air after trying them on, so maybe that was the start of my dislike of grey tights? That, or I'm just terribly inconsistent.

      God I've definitely read far too many of you're past stocking threads in the last 2 days.

    - grey tights are good and do go with quite a lot of things (though you may have nothing suitable at the moment)
      
      also isn't £8 quite reasonable for thick tights?
      
      froglet @PocketMouse | 25 Dec '10, 06:33 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Wait... they were £8!?
  
  Definitely going back...

Final bag of popcorn

Salted. Obviously.

In other news, my cat is now totally stuck behind the Christmas tree.

Another manga-shaped present :-)

Fullmetal Alchemist volume 6. I stopped collecting this because the series is so damn long, but now it's finished I'll probably start again.

Quick flick through suggests not much Roy Mustang in this one. But yay for manga and FMA and Roy anyhow :-)

PocketMouse | 25 Dec '10, 05:48 | X | ^ This | Reply
I think, but am by no means certain,

that this is a handkerchief. With hearts on. In a Japanese-ish looking case. The hearts are raised, which makes the handkerchief not so practical, and I don't see what I could use the wallet thing for. But y'know it's cute and all.

But it may not be a handkerchief at all. In which case, I'll get back to you later on how good it is.

A pencil case

Goes with my notebooks and folders, which is cute, but I really wanted a much smaller one. But it's fine. Nice, even. See? I'm being positive.

Just noticed there's no clementine / satsuma / tangerine thing. Kind of upsetting, really.

Definitely pens...

Don't look especially good, tbh. Won't be usable for Japanese or lecture notes. I guess essay plans or something? Coloured pens are good for that. They look okay actually. We'll see how they write...

An owl on a clip chain thing

It says it's supposed to go on my bag. Not sure it'd look very good there, cause my bag is kind of black and patterned. It's deifnitely cute, though.

DVD!

Princess Mononoke :-)

I had this but lost it a long time ago. Very nice to have it back again.

One present to go! And it looks like manga...

And last present is indeed manga

Reborn! volume 7. Happy happy happy :-D

Dino is on the cover. I might sit here for a while and swoon. Still, he's no Hibari. I wonder if Hibari is in this volume?

He's there! Only in two pages, but he's being very, very, awesome there, so I'm still happy!

Final photo update coming up in a second or two...

  Read a manga? Eat some popcorn and watch In The Loop? Use coloured pens to draw on the cat? You have new stuff- the possibilities are endless!

I'm going to buy you a tooth pick because of the amount of popcorn you seem to get.

Update with a few tree presents:

A pink knife and spatula!
A decorative big bowl thing
Scarf
Dexter season 3
Manga Kamishibai: The Art of Japanese Paper Theater (interesting looking book, and no, not that kind of manga)

Got a few to go. One or two look quite promising :-)

Can you explain the popcorn thing to me pocketmouse?

(this is my first time experiencing the pocketmouse stocking thread and quite frankly, I love it)

Final update:

Collection of Gabriel Garcia Marquez books. Have a few of them, but probably not worth exchanging.
Articulate
3 kanji practice books
Baccano! complete collection DVD

The last I'm super happy about. Except I wanna watch it now and can't cause it's "too violent". The violence is all pretty good natured, so I object to that.

Anyhow, the end for this year. See you all in 2011.

I came on here this morning ready

to make a request for a pocketmouse stocking thread, I thought I'd give her some time and here it is! Amusing as ever, popcorn, tights and all.

Pocketmouse, as someone who has only watched studio ghibli anime (but loved) what else would you recommend?
