The Ghost of Valentine's Future
I am not in a situation where I need to plan something for Valentine's Day, but the news is talking about people spending an average of $122 or something per person.
That's all well and good, but I feel the need to issue a statement about my own personal preferences about Valentine's Day presents: DON'T GIVE ME STUFFED ANIMALS.
I hate them. I hate them because they usually aren't cute. They aren't useful. And I tend to associate them with the sort of vapid, childish views of romance that make me want to puke.
There is one exception to the stuffed critter rule: Giant Microbes. But you have to think VERY carefully before you give someone (me) with whom you're romantically involved a stuffed cootie.
