I'm pretty excited about today/ this weekend. Ben is coming home today, which is great since I haven't seen him for about a month. Plus, school gets out early today so I will have the car for a vast majority of the day. Very, very nice. Means I have to actually shower pretty early, but that's okay. Sacrifices must be made.

Anyway, it's Valentines' Day weekend, in case you didn't notice. I fucking hate Valentines' Day. Mom makes fun of me for hating it so much, since I've always had someone to celebrate with, but still. It's not the holiday in and of itself that repulses me. It's the over commercialized, Americanized, Capitalistic mutation that we celebrate. The stupid hearts on everything, the way every company puts out cheap cupid-inclusive merchandise, the overly priced flowers picked by starving women in third world countries, the diamonds harvested by children in Africa with no hope for a future. It all sounds like love to me! That's what I hate about Valentines'.

So, this year, the big plan is to watch Citizen Kane. Very un-Valentines', very low-key. Neither of us have seen the movie yet, and so it seemed like a great opportunity to hunker down (especially since it's supposed to snow a lot tonight) and watch the Orson Welles classic.
