Up until last year I've always had crappy Valentine's Days. In fact, prior to the last one, the only time I recall a boyfriend even acknowledging the day involved a small white teddy bear holding a big red heart. Anyone who knows me, knows I am not a stuffed-animal kinda dame. But last year the large Greek with the heart of mush, met me at the door dressed up like Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs (Steve Buscemi!) and plyed me with caviar and prosecco. I believe there were chocolates too. How he'll top that this year is unclear, though I'm predicting a Law & Order theme. (Mmmmmmm is for Detective John Munch!)
But mostly what V-Day means to me is more money. In keeping with that tradition, I have a feature in this week's Seattle Weekly about couples who met under unusual circumstances. Read it if only for the story of Jon and Erin, possibly the cutest couple who ever walked this earth. This in addition to my normal column, which is about my recent AIDS scare.
aww Judes - you are too cute! thanks for the compliment!
and in keeping with our cutest couple ever theme, i had Erin sent flowers yesterday for valentine's day. i hate valentines day, but i wanted to do something for her, so i beat everyone else to the punch and sent her flowers yesterday and asked her to be mine... she said yes (thankfully)!
and if you really want to be hooked on a tv star, you need to focus on law and order SVU's Detective Elliot Stabler (former Marine)... he's the real hunk of that show!

Jon! Yuck! I'm a Munch girl all the way. Detective Stabler does nada for me.

A munch girl, and also kind of a muncher these days, with all the L-Word posts.
Just saying.

Uhm, I once remember a Valentine's Day spent wandering through curtains in Target that was decent, if only for the fact that I didn't actually set foot in a Red Lobster... doesn't beat Mr. Pink by a longshot, but I remember it...

Yes, that was a fun V-Day, but you didn't DO ME at the end of it, so it doesn't count! The fact that there was too long a wait at Red Lobster in Queens on Valentine's Day is a sad state of affairs.
