The Importance of Being Idle

Best Valentines Day Ever!

It took a while before the plan was revealed to me, first we went back to her parents house and had chinese food, then I played with her cat for a bit (he's got a radio-controlled mouse which is awesomely entertaining), and then, finally, all became clear! We got in the car, and drove off, down roads, out into a field... where we put up a tent (in super high winds!) and had a star-gazing picnic! She'd selected a star related soundtrack, made a us a little picnic and we just sat in the tent and had a wonderful romantic time! All too soon the batteries in everything started to run out (the laptop, portable stereo and even the lamp!), and we packed up and went back home to see what Plan 'B' was. In some ways, it was even better. She went up to her bedroom, put the lights out and lit some candles, then called me up and got me to lie on her bed. Overhead she'd stitched little star sequins to a black sheet, and made stars indoors! Not everyone can say their girlfriend made the stars for them on Valentines Day, can they? It was all just ridiculously wonderful and made me feel very very special and insanely lucky to have her. I eventually got home at about 1am, tired but very happy indeed.
This morning, I got up (early!) and went to sign on! For the first time in a long time I got Crista, my "proper" advisor, and we had a good chat about stuff, and about the lack of jobs to be found! Which admittedly might not be the best thing to talk about per se, but there you go.
For some reason I've had this overwhelming urge to watch Brazil today, but everywhere is charging far too much for it (at least everywhere that isn't Play.com) so I guess I'll just have to keep wanting, eh? It's not like I have a shortage of other movies to watch at all...
