Slightly weird blast of angst in that a birthday party for a friend and a catch-up dinner with another over the weekend both fell through, combined with it being a Monday morning as well as this weird looming sense I get from time to time that people chase down media products to give their intellectual lives some meaning. Mind you, I do the same.

Happily the spring cleaning work yesterday combined with relistening to my Stephen Moore-reads-Douglas-Adams tapes for the first time in a decade (guess why I dug those out) meant the weekend itself was actually quite a good one, on top of an excellent Friday night. Maybe I just need some tea and to finally catch Sin City, which presumably will be cathartic.
I will say this about being single, not having to deal with in-laws is rather a blessing.

Well, it was compounded by the fact that a week earlier, we'd gone and visited another sister-in-law's (my wife has five siblings) in suburban Pennsylvania, where life is dull, drab and directionless (these are my observations -- you don't have to agree). In any case, coupled with the fact that while there, our daughter contracted a little stomach virus (resulting in an unpleasant olfactory experience for all parties concerned), I have precious little positive to say about that part of the world. So, in my rancor, i believe I spat something to the effect of "I'D RATHER SUCK ON A CAR'S MUFFLER THAN SUBJECT MYSELF TO THE LIVING DEATH OF RURAL PENNSYLVANIA FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS!.....momentarily oblivious to the fact that one of my brother's-in-law grew up in that part of the world.

In any case, regardless of my big-headed opinions on the subject, I just came across as boorish and rude and drunken and surly which -- contrary to popular opinion -- I'm not normally like (or at least not when in the company of my in-laws). So, I'm bummed out about that, as I feel I kind've let my wife down. I'm also still wicked burnt out on my job search situation (and lack of any concrete developments). Grrrr. Bitch Bitch Bitch. Moan Moan Moan. Gripe Gripe Gripe. I'm a jerk.

Anyway, I have cinnamon tea and a cinnamon twist and am feeling much improved, so hurrah for cinnamon. But not cinnabutt.
My tendency to get myself a bit wound up over minor foolishness, while not overwhelming, is still a bit disconcerting, hm. Same with jealousy, jeeps.

I've only actually met 'the folks' once in the past, with Jane's parents -- and they're solid people through and through. The idea of marrying into a family just always seems kinda weird, though, and I say this given that in my family it's much clearer in terms of relationships that my mom married into my dad's rather than vice versa.
