"Happy Winged Baby Bearing Projectiles Day!"

(can't take credit for the subject line, that goes to R.K. Milholland)

First off: Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! Second, I say: Valentine, schmalentine. Have fun today, no matter what your status.

Anyway! I hear that Ben's co-worker's husband is now hosting GUITAR HERO NIGHT at the Jackalope Lounge on Monday nights! I've only played the game once, but it's pretty darned amusing, and I know at least some of you guys are fans of the game. I'll definitely be going down there to check it out sometime soonish, so if anyone else would like to come, let me know!

We have a bunch of new photos up, as of last night! It's a bunch of miscellaneous, artsy stuff we took at various times, that would make cool prints. And yes, they are purchasable as prints, so if you see something you like... ;)

I have to use this icon again, because I went to all the trouble of posting a notice on uoregon to see if anyone would like to sublet my room... and the only responses I got were people telling me that this icon is genius. ;p

Finally, alaindan first pointed this out, but it's rather funny:

( Oops )

As of this posting, they still haven't fixed it.

Hasta!

Random V-Day Musings

Numbering is not due to importance... it's just because I like lists.

1) If you have a hot friend that you want to hook up with, here's some handy advice. If not handy, then at least potentially amusing. ;)

2) I know this is probably easy for me to say, being coupled and all, but I simply can NOT feel entirely bitter about a holiday that inevitably leads to free chocolate being bestowed upon me. (I say this as I savor a dark chocolate truffle from Euphoria, heh)

3) aniline rocked my V-Day with this. Baahahaaha!

4) I noted this to nick2310, but it bears repeating: it seems that a lot of chicks don't know what they want. Yeah, you always hear about girls who tell you they want somebody just like you, and then they go hook it up with someone who's the exact opposite. Those who *do* know what they want seem to already be married. There also seems to be a pretty narrow window of time between them figuring out what they want, and them getting what they want, so all of you hapless single males must land in that window of time.

Yeah, I know, chicks can be annoying like that. That's what you get for liking us. ;p

5) Note that the above behavior (saying what they want, and then dating the opposite) is not reserved just for chicks, either. Guys are people, too, and are just as capable of making awful decisions about who they get involved with. I've seen it happen, and you surely have, too. Make no mistake, people are effin' crazy.

6) My boyfriend is awesome and hot. Yeah, I said it. Can't help it, really. :D

7) There are a lot of people who like to rail against V-Day traditions, and talk about what a commercialized piece of junk this holiday is. However, parading around and complaining about it just draws more attention to it, and you inevitably get the, "you're just bitter," response from proponents of the holiday, so you don't really feel like you're getting anywhere, because it just rears its head again the next year.

I figure that there are two ways to *really* be anti-V-Day:
A) screw traditions and show your love in your own way ("I am going to write a sappy poem, instead of spending $10 on crappy heart-shaped chocolates!"), or
B) complete and total indifference. ("Oh, it's Valentine's Day? Huh.")

8) If your S.O. is wildly insistent on some grand, expensive gesture for V-Day, then he or she is probably either:
A) really, really insecure, or
B) more interested in the contents of your wallet than the content of your character.

9) tlaw_dalbron is wearing a "Roslin/Adama 2008" campaign t-shirt today. Yeah, I know, that has nothing to do with V-Day. It's still funny. :D
