Uh huh, uh huh

I hope that everyone had a great Valentine’s Day!
Alfee and I couldn’t spend the day together because of our work schedules, but we were able to get together on Saturday for the weekend. Then we exchanged presents and kisses and all of that sweet stuff that couples are supposed to do.
We didn’t go out or anything that night. We were supposed to, but Alfee’s car was having some troubles (he has a Nissan Xterra) and he was totally paranoid about driving it. Secretly, I sort of resented that because I really wanted him to take me out. I mean, I had spent the past few days stuck in doors. I wanted to be out, doing things, and relaxing. I decided not to complain even if I was disappointed because his car is more important than my selfish needs. Though, by the way, his car turned out to be nothing. No damage, just needed a full fluid change and stuff.
I got Alfee a Godzilla boxset. I’ll be damned to remember what movies are on there because they had, like, three or four box sets with all of these different movies and I didn’t know which one to get! I chose one at random based on a faint recollection of a name I remembered him saying once. Luckily, it was one that he did want. The problem with buying him any gift is that he never claims to want anything. So, I have to fumble in the dark for a possible gift for him because he never hints as to anything he wants. Me, though, all I do when we go out to the mall is point to thinks and say that I want them.
Alfee got me to the Masters of Horror Season 1 Boxset. I LOVE it. A collection of 13 horror movies complete with the Takashi Miike film Imprint that was never shown on actual TV because it was claimed to be too disturbing. The movies themselves are not more than an hour apiece, so I can fit one in every night before bed. Always a good thing to fall asleep to, scary stories. I’ve watched two of the movies so far… the one about the two serial killers who are playing a game together and the one about the house haunted by that witch who travels from one dimension to the next and has that rat familiar with the human face. Totally sick looking.
He also got me some yummy dark chocolate candies. I was happy to see that he remembered that I absolutely hate those crappy chocolates people get around Valentine’s Day in those stupid hearts. That’s not good candy. It’s shitty chocolate with nasty tasting centers. So, since he listened, Alfee did not get me any of those. Instead, he got me something I WOULD like. It doesn’t matter that they came in bags instead of a cardboard heart. It was tons better because it was something I liked.
What else?
Oh! A Domo plushie.
Okay. Time for me to wrap up my lesson making and get to bed. I don’t know why, but today was an exhausting day and I wish that I could sleep in tomorrow. Yes, sleep ALL day. Wake up, watch pointless TV shows, eat junk, and nap whenever I feel like it. Alas. No such luck, right? I could only wish. It’s early mornings and long days for me. I refuse to go to sleep, though, until I get all of these notes on Nationalism for Monday. I am trying to stay as ahead of the curve as possible so that I still have my entire weekends to work on my portfolio. I’ve not gotten as much done in that as I would like because I have been so busy with lesson planning and such.
Goodnight everyone.
Tell me what you did for Valentine’s Day! I want romantic stories.
