I don't know if it's the weather or what, but I've been one sad wanny-wanny crybaby lately and I don't know why. I'm at a good point in my monthly cycle, I've been battling the dragon that is Peace Up My Ass (novel), taking vitamins, eating chicken, going to my dull-as-balls research job, getting ready for the Geegster's six week run, and hanging out with the entire Ap Fam minus the two younger Ap Kids, meaning the in-laws are in town. (insert Jaws theme here) I have NOT been yogacizing, getting laid, farting whenever/wherever, and getting enough alone/down time, due to presence of in-laws. Oh, and the sky has problems and is dressed like a battle-wounded Union soldier getting ready to bayonnet his gangrenous leg off.
The in-laws have brought into my home something that I pride myself on excluding from my daily repetoire and that is SNACKS. Not that I have a problem with snacks, but I generally avoid snacking so as to not fulfill my genetic destiny of turning into an ass-heavy Armenian. I am built exactly like my ass and tummy-heavy mother, only I'm a foot taller, so I get away with being a bit ass-and-tummy heavy, but I don't want it to get worse. Which it will, when the aging process rears its ugly head. At age fifty-nine, my mother has all but stopped eating in order to not turn into some zaftig beach ball with tits down to her knees.
Ma and Pa Ap went out and got Sun Chips and snack mix and those waxy little diet cheese wedges that Weight Watchers commands its parishioners to acquire. Having been self-exiled from Snackville for so long, I have been chomping down that shit like no one's business. I must return to my acetic meals-only lifestyle, which of course includes dessert.
That, and I am obsessed with Six Feet Under. I can't stop thinking about Brenda. I am concerned for her safety. I am also concerned for David, who in his confusion and desperation has turned to rough trade. This is the best soap opera ever, with all due respect to the great Patrick Thornhart, bless his Irish soul.
