I got an mp3 player too =)
 
It's only 8g, so I'm hoping I can go up to 16 tomorrow, seeing as I have 9g on my computer right now.
 
I also got some cash, so I'll be buying myself at least one album tonight or tomorrow

A girlfriend who was in London bough for me "The War of the Worlds" CD/DVD, signed by Jeff Wayne.

That's a wonderful gift, not only got the CD/ DVD 30 Anniversary, but bought a signed copy from somebody  - I believe I will have to marry her. Wink

I got many of the necessary supplies to build my fretless guitar.  Thats kind of progressive right?

As for music, my family is musically retarded and since I often listen to older music they get me generic 70's music that I don't really want.  Such as the Rolling Stones......Yeah...Gong, King Crimson...basically the same as the Rolling Stones....
