What I got for my birthday

My wife took me out shopping to a local comic shop, Barnes and Noble, and Kenwood Town Center. At the comic shop I, picked up a few books:
Secret Six 31
Deadpool: Max 4 and 5(great stuff!)
Sigil 1(interesting new direction)
Carbon Grey 1
Birds of Prey 10
X-Men: Legacy 246 (Age of X, part 3. I thought Gambit was going to be featured more, based on the promos)
Marvel Vault: Doctor Strange
G.I. Joe: Cobra 11,12,13(had to order 10 on Ebay, finished out the series last night. Good stuff)
Spider-Girl 4
John Byrne's Next Men 1 and 2 (bought 3 and 4 on ebay..I read some of the original issues, but didn't follow the book, this one I'll stick with)
Wulf 1(thinking of checking out all the new Atlas books)
Daredevil: Reborn 2
DC Universe Online Legends 1,2,3 (fun story)
The Invincible Iron Man vol. 4: Star Disassembled (hae the first 3 tpbs and enjoyed them)

Barnes and Noble:
I was really disappointed at the selection of trade paperbacks here. I thought they'd dwarf Border's selection, but it was just the opposite. I wasn't going to walk away empty handed, so I got:
The Invincible Iron Man vol. 5: Stark Resilient
Green Lantern: Rebirth (i have most of the mini in single issues, but not the whole thing, and wanted to read the whole series for awhile.

At Kenwood Town Center, we went to FYE and I got the Fifth Element on blu-ray, a pair of really comfortable Ecco shoes at the Walking Spot, and then we went and saw Red Riding Hood and had dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.

My mom and dad gave me a Target gift card and I bought Underworld: Evolution on Blu-Ray as well as The Lost Boys: The Tribe on Blu-Ray.
My younger sister and her husband gave me an Amazon gift card, so I bought Morning Glories and Grimm Fairy Tales: Inferno tpbs and 2 blu-ray dvds: Salvage (horror/thriller where a girl is murdered and then reawakens and relives that day over and over, each time with a different ending, like Groundhog Day. I think it sounds interesting, and the cover is ultra-creepy) and Doomsday (an apocalyptic future sci-fi type thing, Rhona Mitra headlines).
My older sister got my two blu-ray dvds: Tombstone and Big Trouble in Little China.

I still have some credit left on the Target gift Card, so I was thinking of getting 30 Days of Night: Dark Days on blu-ray, if I can catch it on sale.
There are a ton of movies I'd like to buy on blu-ray(Hot Tub Time Machine, Sex Drive, All Star Superman: Batman: Under The Red Hood, and tons more).
We'll see.
