Miss Kate and David making with the zzzzzz's....

Feb. 1st, 2009 07:28 pmI know I probably say it every weekend but I just had the most romantic day with Dave!
He was z'ing with Miss Kate this morning - and I ran up to the store and grabbed up the fixings for homemade croissant tomato ham and egg sandwiches. (not as "clean" as the ones we get at LaBoulange but just as tasty!) The whole house smelled of fresh croissants, Kona coffee (duh!) and eggs and ham. They were lovely!
We then walked across town for the 1125am matinee of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" after being recommended by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

First I need to say how much I capital L - LOVE the new Sundance Theater in the Kabuki building in Japantown. It is the most comfortable luxurious movie theater I've ever attended a movie at. I'd hope other theaters would model after their redesigned ideas. Plush seats, less seats with more space - and cuddly couple seats. We love that theater!
As for the movie itself? Well - I can't say that I watched and saw Oscar-caliber performances - but I thought the story was very entertaining and romantic and sweet. The pacing though ran infuriatingly slow in a few places - where even David agreed we wanted to scream at the screen "Get on with already - for chrissakes" - particularly one scene thats probably a beautiful paragraph in F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story - but made for an agonizing few minutes in the film. It was lushly, beautifully filmed - I admired the set design, costumes and setting of the story very much. I wasn't too hot on seeing at the theater though - I'm glad that Drew and Neil's recommends (plus other reviews) were good enough for Dave to encourage us to go anyways.
David is funny when we come out of movies; he doesn't want to discuss them. He says "it took years to make that movie - it will take me at least a few days to decide on what I thought." - so we walked in the afternoon sun (it was 65 here today in San Francisco and breathtakingly gorgeous) We came back to find the apartment was getting warmed up from the sun so we took advantage of the warmth and took a snuggly naked nap in the sunshine. Miss Kate even joined the game - sprawling out on the carpet and napping in the sunlight.
After a quick shower - we got up and went to dinner - and we had a lovely chat about "would we ever want to live together." I am very comfortable in our relationship as it is - with our different weekends here or there. I told him that I didn't feel any urgency for us to live together as nice as that might be. He said he didn't think it was practical if I continued working in downtown San Francisco. I told him that I might enjoy working on my writing on my laptop on CalTrain - but that the 45 minutes to an hour commute would change my life alot - not to mention what would I do on chorus nights and other events in the city. He said that he'd love to come home to my cooking everynight - gosh he's a charmer! (chortle)
We were talking about it because (believe it or not) - my year lease is up here in a little over three months. I think I'll be staying here in SF - and going month-to-month on the apartment. Ive been applying at different university web departments in the south bay (San Jose State, Stanford, etc.) at any available openings for a few months now. I have a string of rejection letters - but I got my job back at Boise State with perseverance and patience. I'd love to work in higher education again. (particularly if a lower rate on finishing my masters was part of the deal) So life changes - and we roll as it goes. Dave and I are more in love these days than ever.
In the last few weeks we've talked about issues and ideas and things that I've never really thought of discussing with a boyfriend - personal stuff - that has brought us even closer. So I have no rush to "get to" another place in our relationship - because where we are now makes me happier than I've been in a very very long time. Our first anniversary is March 14th - and that we're getting to it and hitting a new stride feels really good to me. I've found someone that encourages me, supports me to everything that I am without exception. and I am constantly trying to support his Ubermath career and his passions around dancing and his research outside of work. The way he lights up when we talk about work tells me he appreciates it so much. (even if he does have to think about how to present his theoretical study and scientific works in a way I can try and really understand) Let me tell you folks - he's so brilliant it is just amazing. and so humble and shy about it too.
Asbearfuz remarked a few months back - David and I are really good for one another. and day to day - that's all that is really important.

As
