Dat vus goot. Went over to Andrew's girlfriend's (parents') astonishingly gorgeous fifth avenue apartment last night to watch scary movies. We managed to make it 'til dawn, although I nearly passed out during Sorority Babes of the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama and I heard Kate snoring lightly during aforementioned film. Kate's mother and brother were very friendly, and I especially liked that before Katemum went to bed she called out, "Have fun, don't be too loud, I like you, good night!" The "I like you" was directed at me. I like that. I wish more new people that one meets would do that.

First we watched Ghost Story, with Fred Astaire. It was scarier than you'd imagine. I came in the middle of that but the parts I saw were spooky enough. Then we watched Hellraiser. Although it was the grossest movie I've ever seen, it didn't terrify me. None of the movies terrified me. I've been building up the horror in my head for so many years that the reality was refreshingly fake-looking. Next we watched Sorority Babes. Andrew has a disturbing range of knowledge about 80's b-movies. I'm pretty sure everyone in the film was a porn actor. Then we watched Suspiria, the scariest of the movies we saw. It was very weird. Kate said it was Fellini-esque, which makes me want to see a Fellini film. The set design and all that was pretty interesting, and the music was really scary, but the special effects didn't skeeve me out too much so it was okay. At this point we were pretty tired, but we gulped down Diet Cokes and watched The Innocents, with Deborah Kerr. You wouldn't think an old black-and-white movie based on a Henry James classic would be scary, but it was damned creepy and gave us all the heebie-jeebies. Then we passed out until we were woken four hours later by the cleaning lady.

Kate and Andrew are really, really damn cute together. They have this sort of couple-speak that I would normally find irritating, but on them it's just adorable. Sort of quacky sound-effect talk. It was kind of contagious. Kate is a really sweet, unassuming girl who opens up to cleverness and wit after you get to know her a little. They're really good together.

Damn couples everywhere.
