Friday, December 28th, 2007 by Aabra

‘Cause one of you asked… 2008 resolutions * Sell this dump. Man, I am sick of home ownership. The costs, the burglaries, the drugged-out neighbors, the leaking basement, being in the middle of nowhere. I want my downtown loft back! * Less blogging.

Christmas at the zoo

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007 by Aabra

Either a sicko let loose a tiger on Christmas, or every time you went to the zoo you were one good leap from getting turned into hamburger. Brrr! I’m glad I let PETA boss me around and tell me which businesses to boycott. And g_d help me I’ve got that song stuck in my head [...]

Santa’s Gonna Kick Your Ass

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007 by Aabra

Merry Xmas! Thanks to everyone who sent cards and gifts. The DVDs are hilarious, the cookies are delicious, the lottery tickets a total bust. Ah, well.
