Ask Me About My Invisible Friends

Welcome to 2007.
It was nice to see that Dick Clark is still alive.

Pick your poison. Here are some resolutions:
In 2007, I will…
a. Cut down. (We Will Never Drink Again- The Devastations)
b. Get fit. (45 and Fat - Baby Bird)
c. Be nice. (A Better Version of Me - Fiona Apple)
d. Share. (The Money You Have… - The Oxford Collapse)

Death Cab For Cutie - The New Year

Merry X-mas to everyone who wants to be wished a Merry X-mas and isn’t offended by the statement. To those not in the first group, have a very special Monday! Take the day off! Especially you, Tom Flynn (The Trouble With X-mas), but not you Mel Gibson (LA County DUI, 2006). You’re a fucking psycho. 

12 days of X-mas - Muppets & John Denver

And to save you the window shopping, PNC has calculated just how much the twelve days of X-mas is going cost your true love in 2006. The PNC X-mas Index.

Yes, pear trees are up 40%! Sell! Buy!
(To a healthy economy in the new year.)
We hope you get everything on your list.
