Lauren dealing with germs aside, our anniversary was a complete success. I believe the most notable event would be her gift to me. It is an ink illustration/collage of the both of us. This may not seem very impressive on it's own, but you may like to know who concocted the illustration. Her name is Susan Buice, a somewhat underground niche artist with an inspiringly beautiful, borderline melancholy style. Her most prolific work to date being the well received film "Four-Eyed Monsters." An indie, and independently funded project, FEM focuses on an attempted platonic and silent relationship heavily documented by Susan and other co-creator Arin Crumley, who are also the couple under surveillance. The film captures the whimsical pace, finesse, and structure of a modern relationship disguised as artwork disguised as a project. Although this film was conceived a couple years ago, you should definitely check it out and wash it down with the web series that follows it chronologically for a very fresh piece of art and modern documentation; you will definitely have a different opinion of indie films afterwards. It's one of my favorite slices of internet watchability and will probably be one of yours too.
