Re: Valentines day...
Valentines Day is just daft. The original meaning appears to be a mystery to most - that is, you declared affection to someone without giving your name. It isn't supposed to be a purely commercial day for couples who no longer care to buy each other shite.
I loathe cuddly teddy bears, fluffy pink & red crap & overpriced flowers & meals. Restaurants are full of people who haven't a clue what to say to each other.
I expect to receive a saucy card only.

Re: Valentines day...
Ah, my cynical friend.... I am moved to quote Kundera in this most shitty of festivities....
Kitsch is the absolute denial of shit, in both the literal and the figurative senses of the word; kitsch excludes everything from its purview which is essentially unacceptable in human existence...
Kitsch causes two tears to flow in quick succession. The first tear says: How nice to see children running on the grass! The second tear says: How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass! It is the second tear that makes kitsch kitsch. The brotherhood of man on earth will be possible only on a basis of kitsch...
