F***ing Valentine's Day Cards

This year, or so it seems, finding a Valentine's Day card for The Fiance' that's not terribly corny, poorly written, or overly saccharine is like:

a) Going to eat at a Denny's restaurant that's actually clean

b) PCs making a comeback I can stick it to pretentious Mac users without looking foolish

c) Finding a movie starring Kevin Costner in which he displays a range of emotion

d) All of the above


Conclusion: It would be great if it actually happened, but it's pretty damn near impossible.

This holiday is overrated anyway, but me and my fella still hang out together and do something small.  And, I always get him two cards: a really silly card and a 'you mean the world to me/what would I do without you?/you complete me' type of card.  This year, it's been difficult to find worthy selections.  If I'm going to pay $5.99 ($6.99 in Canada!) for cardstock with glitter on it, is it too much to ask that the message NOT SUCK?   Maybe in the near future I'll try to write cards for a living.  I might as well, since I've been utterly failing at life recently (I'll post more about this later).

Last year for V-Day my guy bought a shit ton of takeout and we watched my favorite movie.  GREAT Valentine's Day in my book.  The combination of food and film made me fall deeper in love. I owe it to him to at least get a nice card.
