islanded in a stream of stars

I tend to be oblivious to most holidays except for fall/winter ones. Valentine's Day is a sweet concept, but it seems to me that it's been infected by commercialization and a lot of superficial expectations, so I don't really think of it as a real holiday anymore.

Glad to see that you're a North By Northwest fan, too :) I have to confess, though, that Vertigo is probably my favorite of Hitchcock's.
