It's like kissing a cupcake

Kate came for a visit this weekend and it was just lovely. She surprised me on friday night whilst I was a tad inebriated and I felt awkward for a little while. Anyway, that aside it was such a relief to have her back - just a quick reminder of who I am and what I'm supposed to be doing with myself. Not that American History X and Rolling Rock isn't okay once in a while, just not when you have 4+ hours of field notes to write. We had great sushi and made sickeningly cute Valentines cards to send to my little cousins, family, etc. It's hard to have her gone again; all I have left is some scraps with "Happy Valentine's" practices and forgotten boots on the shoe rack. The thing is I'm okay here without her, but I just feel happier and more myself not without her.

I'm off to watch 4 hours of Dances with Wolves for American Indians on Film. Yikes. I've never seen it but I know my mom ranks it up there pretty high on the list of great movies. Anyway, I'm bracing myself and wishing Kate weren't gone. This week is reading period and we leave for the orchestra tour on wednesday morning. I'm pretty excited about that business although I need to brush up on some Shosti 5 between now and then.

John Dunbar is calling and wants me to watch his movie.
