Cheryl bought me a 30 gig ipod video! She also got me a classical guitarist foot rest, which I really needed. I switched to the classical position a long time ago but it's always been really sloppy because I had nothing to rest my foot on correctly. My mom bought me a violin and music stand. Besides that, I got a bunch of other cool things (including a badass Dream Theater watch). I got some gorilla snot which is something I've been wanting to try because I've been experimenting with different picks and I REALLY liked Dunlop Stubbies. The only problem is that they fall out of my hand when playing fast, and gorilla snot is supposed to help it stay in place. I feel like I did pretty well picking out presents for everybody else this year too, so I had a pretty good holiday. I hope everybody else did too!

Merry Christmas BYOND!
