speediness

Hello, Stash!

I'm glad the tickets arrived safely. That was fast! I just mailed it on Wednesday!

I, too, am very excited about our impending trip to Portugal. I am counting down the days until I can nuzzle your bounteous mustache. Today in Textile Fundamentals, the instructor put up a world map to illustrate how global textile production is these days. I was able to locate Umea, Lisbon and Lima on the map. You are very far from home, my boy, regardless of whether "home" is New York or Peru.

I got your wish list and will keep an eye out (open?) for your packages. I will try to find some (daylit) time to take photos of the screenprints you requested. Are you still sending me copies of your passport? I managed to book our train tix, after several tries. Not too bad, 68 Euros for the both of us, roundtrip. I priced rental cars from Lisbon, just in case we wanted to drive down, but they're much more expensive for an automatic than in the Algarve. I like trains, anyway.

I did survive the visit. Thanks for your support! Sunday wasn't as tiring, though still more tiring than I'd like. We had wet (soup) dumplings from Joe Shanghai for dinner.

Today was a long day. I did find happiness in my morning class, stitching paper to paper as one of my texture experiments. The extent of my contentment was such that I was able to find happiness despite the professor's insistence on playing music during class. As no one offered up her iPod, the professor installed hers on the Bose speakers, so we were aurally assaulted by a heinous mix of folk rock, oldies and American Idol contestants. We suspect that she just downloaded some of her daughter's songs into her iPod to keep it hip. It was heinous. Heinous, I tell you! You would have walked out.

I also got a voicemail that there's going to be construction in the school, so we have to move our lockers up a floor. By 5pm *tomorrow*! As if my locker wasn't already far enough away from the classrooms. The level of incompetence and disregard is just amazing. I was livid! And I'm planning on writing a letter saying that it's unacceptable. Unacceptable, I say!

Then I stayed late to get a jumpstart on my screenprinting project, which is due next week. The registration worked out far better than I dared to hope, but I'm still working out the colorways. So much mixing, so few results!

Anyway, I have a short day tomorrow. In the afternoon I will move my lockers, and then head down to Soho to meet up with J. I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow! Not sure if I'll be heading home after Soho or going to Brooklyn, so we'll either Skype or speak via el telefono cellular(o).

tu amorito,

Girl
