At the edge of the year, a cold moist wind is blowing. I envision my neighborhood as it might have been, before any people were there, either Native or immigrant. The city disappears and the trees and swamps re-appear, under a grey and gold winter sky. I see this landscape simultaneously with the high-rises and the big highway. I can see many realities all at once. I always have been able to, even if proper rational thinking demands that only one of them is "really real." Here on Internet, there is no reality, and therefore they are all real.

At the edge of my virtual world, the spam-names are calling, behind the transparent filter. I hear their voices. Am I cyber-schizophrenic? Maybe they are all Electron readers, even if they are not real. They are almost making sense now. Siddharta Blackshear and Thekla Yearta have written to me, as have Zosimos Lu and the unreal physicist Vitali Hirschman, whose subject line reads: "See neutron Eran, but headboard." The Italian Jewish scholar Giustino Palermo writes me a message with the subject line: "On Levine, Diego it's parallel." Want meds at a great price with zero hidden fees? We have a great selection. More pleasurable orgasms, increase in self-esteem.

Tivadar Feuerstein sends his regards from Budapest. Fionnula Foos writes: "Or mullah, Teodoor see excessive." 900 perfect replica watches. Mano Chychrun has written to me, as have Alton Yazzie, Guglielma Atwater, and the firmly named Summer Justice, who advises: "Franni be formatted, on role." Your credit doesn't matter to us…you are prequalified! "Yetta in usurious, try coffeecup," writes Dimitri Prog.

The heavenly-named "Ambrosio Beveridge" sent me this poem, titled "Trounce, a philosoph:"

put in Bowling Ball see any but gave try.
Write! go try Fluffy may found, call and who may open some make in kind, see or warm and.
Look ! got on give in
myself the some put may pull
not. A got are where by he. A when what we off for do yellow. Spiffy and long the clean be on first.
There and write, just it
wish not. Maybe ride all look read never came one drink try ride out. A full only use get then just light please Strudel because.
After an Banana much Crusty here a thank. When very here its want Pants all or Fluffy gave said once.
The politicians dislike playing all day long.

I understand it. This is what the end of 2005 feels like. I am haunted by an enormous, glistening set of lips, thrust upon me by Yahoo. Here comes another hot flash. I hear sirens in the distance.

A reading from the Book of Chaos. "I saw Julius Caesar and the new plethora…to have all those noble Romans alive before and also of the good arequipa Wilson was very glad to see me and told me that the arenas plans. Well well ma'am said the gregarious cheerfully I am not that I thought it best to make no advances The main object on my mind I remember earnestness one day or other. My wonder is that you are not in earnest yourself. The smooth stupendous changes of glittering and brilliant scenery with me unless it is to confirm what I say. You know as well as I do that your cousin Shukor my blue antipasto…"

At the supermarket, "Physicist People's" big headline read: LISA AND BRIAN: ARE THEY AN ITEM?" How many dimensions between them? Jacques Distler, who may be real, writes: "As you know, instantons can have dramatic effects on the vacuum structure of supersymmetric gauge theories. They can induce a superpotential that lifts degeneracies that are present to all orders in perturbation theory. More subtly, in the case of SU(N c) SQCD, with N f=N c flavours, instanton effects can change the topology of the vacuum manifold." But is he pretty?

A block sitting on a frictionless horizontal surface is attached to a wall by means of a spring, as shown in Figure 6-9(a). If a force F pulls the block to the right in such a way that it just balances the force due to the spring at every instant, calculate the work done by the force F…. Ahead of me in 2006 are: more work and mechanical energy; energy and power, impulse and linear momentum, equilibrium and center of gravity, rotational motion, and simple harmonic motion. I don't know how many dimensions there are. I may never encounter perturbation theory. I wouldn't know an instanton if it hit me in the face. However, I hope that in 2006 I will have induced in me a superpotential which can lift degeneracies. Don't worry about approval. Take advantage of this Limited Time Opportunity.
