i'm with the anti-valentine's day people

anti-vday people

and this guy too

so in a brave move, i've decided that valentine's day is overrated and that i'd like to sue hallmark, kay's, 1-800-flowers, and anyone else profitting from such a cruel and evil "holiday." anyone willing to join me? we could make this like a class action deal. despite this idle threat, i am horribly annoyed about the 10,000 commercials i've seen in the last three weeks, which basically reduce love to jewelry, flowers, cards, and dinner. it also exploits the whole gender roles conceptualization and otherwise furthers capital interests. while the gender role thing (in this case) is typically in my favor, i would like to say that i still think it's a dumb, overrated, overly-commercialized holiday.

okay, enough sounding like a jealous singleton. i got zoe a laser pointer yesterday from petco (and for the record, because i have to tell someone - the guy at the checkout line looked like he didn't belong there. like he was the kinda guy you'd accuse if your cat went missing...), which she absolutely loves. the best part is that i can sit and do work or otherwise do something and she and i can play. this is an important feature for a multi-tasker like myself. in some ways i feel bad, because hard as she tries, she'll never catch the little dot. and she tries so hard.

finally, in other news, this is my 100th post. nothing special - no balloons or otherwise craziness. just thought i'd say it. there's a lot of procrastination bulit into those 100 post. thanks.
