Considering how much shit I had to eat on Tuesday, I'm just going to post two things.

Tuesday night I had to tell my father to never come to Colorado Springs. I stopped short of telling him that I would disown him but I'm that fucking serious about this. Dad told me that the other night he was unable to catch his breath and the paramedics had to come, do some treatments then whisk him to Saint Barnabas.

I know my father reads this site, albeit infrequently, and I must say that the high altitude will be a death sentence. I don't give a fuck if you'll be here for two days and one night. I don't give a fuck if you'll bring an oxygen bottle. Stay in New Jersey with your heavily oxygenated sea-level air. You can wait a couple of months to meet me and raddidge in person in healthy New Jersey.

By the way, my father is not a smoker. I have no idea what's causing these problems.

The other night Spot decided to join me in bed. She was sitting like a pharoah's ushabti. No matter how many silly noises I made or how hard I stared at her, she refused to acknowledge my presence.

Now when I stuck out my tongue, Spot stared at it and licked my tongue but returned to her unspottishlike activity. Well I rolled over, saw a bag of mousefuls waiting on my desk. Mousefuls are the treat that kitties like to eat. As soon as I picked it up, Spot started purring louder. When I brought it closer, she amped up the purring! Intrigued, I slowly moved the bag back and forth which made her oscillate her purrs.

Her houseape was sufficiently amused and she was rewarded with a mouseful of treats.

January 2005 - Had to go to court because I didn't put on the registration stickers.
February 2005 - Someone's using the handle 'heptapod' at some site called 43 things.
March 2005 - Ben died.
April 2005 - Some chick staying in Olympic guy's place is pulling stupid shit. She threatens me with a threat from Olympic guy.
May 2005 - Safeway stops carrying seltzer
June 2005 - Gross Cat a.k.a. Sam disappears along with my bike. Unknown if events are related to each other.
July 2005 - Multivitamins significantly lower my anxiety. London bombs.
August 2005 - Vacation in Hartsel, CO. Burned out on maintaining heptapod.org. Katie died. First time at Wild Ginger. September 2005 - I've been to the top of Pikes Peak and I never have to do that again. October 2005 - Finally ascended in Nethack. Finally. November 2005 - Dragon Warrior VIII and other things remind me that my life is essentially empty and meaningless. Brian's finally tying the knot with his long-time girlfriend.
December 2005 - Work won't fucking stop. Gun in mouth. Squeeze trigger. Permanent vacation.

That's the best recap I can give of my life in 2005. I don't believe there's any point in anything anymore.
