Gift-wrapped with a card and all, decades ago to my former significant other. That it was so long ago, and that I don't remember what the present was would seem to speak volumes against the significance. Damn my cold heart!

Last time I felt like giving somebody a gift was three years ago. Burned a DVD of Spicediver's fan edit of Dune (1984) and sent it to an old friend in a case with a printed color slipcover. With the first part of Villeneuve's adaptation set to debut I wanted my friend to see this great version of a flawed film we enjoyed together in our youth.

Few months ago I gave a few Famicom game cartridges to a former co-worker because his wife collects Hello Kitty stuff. Not really being generous; was happy to get rid of them as those characters kind of give me the creeps.
