Yep. October is a fun month. Tomorrow is Evil’s birthday.

I have done nothing. I have bought no present, no card. Sure I’ll send him a crappy little free online card. And that will be that.

A while back I was about getting him gifts. One year for his birthday I got him a stuffed monkey (fucker loves monkeys) and the Criterion edition of “Brazil” on DVD. On top of that he got dinner and I carted his ass all over the place so he didn’t have to drive after celebrating too much. Yep. I am that stupid.

So, tomorrow it rolls around again. I still have a Barrel of Monkeys necktie and a Barrel on Monkeys (in red) sitting on my dresser. I was going to give them to him one Christmas and never could bring myself to wrap them. They sit there on my dresser as a reminder. Yep. More stupidness on my part.

I try not to obsess too much (yeah, don’t laugh) about him now that he is down in Florida. But, the recent visit and innuendo-laden birthday message have done nothing to calm that side of my feelings. Grrrr.
