Love is in the air...

Yesterday was a day known far and wide as "The Stupidest Holiday. Ever." Of course, that's what chronically single or people disenfranchised with love call it. And up until this year, that's what I would have called it too.

Amazing what a Significant Other can do to one's perception of a holiday wrought by Hallmark and steeped in flagrant consumerism.

That said, let me amaze you with the awesomest Valentine's Day prezzie EVAR:









Forget flowers and chocolates. Romantic dinner? Diamonds? It is to laugh. What floats MY boat is a 3 Piece Dragon Master Sword Set (with display rack).

Totaling over 4.5 feet of high carbon steel, each blade is black anodized with silver laser heat temper finish. The leather wrapped handles are accented with brass-plated tsuba and pommels that feature Japanese dragon engravings matching those located on the leather wrapped sheaths.

Bad ass? Oh yes.

As if that wasn't enough, a cuddly wuddly little teddy bear was also included. My Valentine perfectly chose gifts to satisfy the soft, sweet side of me, as well as my inner-Uma-Thurman-in-Quentin-Tarantino's-freakin'-awesome-movie, Kill Bill.

Now that's love.

The Beginning of the End

I have succumbed.

Here is my first blog on an actual website dedicated to blogging (in other words, not MySpace). I suppose it's all The S's fault, and by extension, Heidi & Lauren over there at 2 Girls, 1 Larp**. They got me hooked on posts with exceeding hilarity, and now I'm thinking I too can blog with the best of them.

Will I succeed? Or will I fail, like this fellow?:




You be the judge.
