My AD 2013 Santa sent an interesting mix of gifts which trickled in over the course of several days. I love getting things in the mail but had no tracking numbers, so I was getting slightly maniacal checking every day. The last one came today!

In order of appearance, this was my final haul: * Terminator Blu-ray * 4ft 3.5mm male-male audio cable * Avatar DVD * copy of the Constitution of the United States * two tickets each to the US Senate and House of Representatives * The Spirit Blu-ray * Washington, DC: A Pictorial Celebration

I've never seen Avatar or The Spirit, so they'll be something new for me. The Terminator series movies are some of my favorite, but I didn't have the original on Blu-ray yet (can't wait to see how it looks).

The book on Washington has beautiful photos of our capitol along with some interesting history. I've only been once when I was little, so now I can see what I missed. The Constitution seems more relevant than ever now with all the NSA fuss going on recently. Plus, I'm ready to go on a couple of tours if I make it up there again.

Now, I admit I'm not 100% sure where the audio cable comes into play, but I think I can easily put it to good use in my car with the AUX input. As I opened the packages I tried to figure out if there was a theme here and I think I've got it: BLUE! The cover of the book is predominately blue, the Blu-rays are of course Blu, the Avatar characters are blue, the ink printed on the tickets and Constitution is blue, and the audio cable is from BlueRigger.

I should be on CSI, right? Thanks anonymous Santa!

Edit: Santa says the cable isn't from him. The plot thickens...
