Movie review for the The Simpson's Movie, from the viewpoint of one of the "walking wounded":
Last monday, during S's illness episode, an ad for the movie came on, and W looked at me surreptisously (sp?). This led my paranoia/gut instinct to believe she intended to see the film with OM, constituting a greater betrayal than the most depraved sexual act imaginable (I've long been a simpson's junkie, for which she has always looked down her nose at me). Well, I just saw it, pretty good, but the only thing that could be called a love interest shares my first name.
As Nelson would say: Ha-Ha.
Anywho, it must have worked, 'cause I sailed throught the good night call. W sounded pretty worked up/angry, though I'm not sure it was with me. S sounded good, think he is getting over the flu (or whatever it was), sounded pretty excited to talk to me. I hope things aren't getting too bad at MIL's.
I was full of laughter, especially after we were accidentally disconnected (S pressed the wrong button, he is 3 you know). Sounded, and actually felt, real breezy/content, good spirits. Used a new cut-down version of my usual request for her to give him a hug and a kiss for me and tell him I love him, wished her/them a good night, and wrapped up.
I missed the initial call, as I was driving home from the movie with the music up. She left a voice mail, and that is where she sounded really sharp/on the warpath. I called back within 10 minutes, and by the time we signed off she sounded more mystified than anything.
My guess: She was expecting some real harshness from me, and is probably pretty well surrounded by it at all times now (family, "friends", mayhap even OM, though the last is pretty unlikely). I've resisted the urge to do any snooping today, but it is really hard. The biggest temptation is to take a look at her bank account, but I'm just not sure I could take a charge a Frederick's or something. I'm just gonna close the day on a good note and let it all go for tonight.
P.S. Saw a preview before the movie, they are making Dark Knight, a new Batman film with Christian Bale, a sequel to Batman Begins. Doesn't come out until next year, but I'll tell you, I am so there.
P.P.S. I don't seem kind of, you know, all-over-the-board tonight or anything, do I?
