topical haikus. Have a good holiday.

[Graham]

For xmas I got The Rolling Stone Interviews and The Best Short Stories, some clothes, JB hifi voucher, acoustic guitar strings and a neck rack (its nothing kinky, its for a harmonica so I can play it and guitar), and an awesome lunch.

I'm slightly jealous of my 5 year old nephew who got 3 mad nerf guns. I was playing with them more than he was.
