Valentine's Eve

melliciousWe spent a good chunk of today celebrating Valentine's Day a day early
- avoid the rush, was the general idea. Mostly this involved going to
the very expensive restaurant where we both used to work - and where we
met - and blowing nearly $100 on a meal. It was very good,
though, and they gave us quite a lot of freebies - shrimp cocktails and
a dessert sampler (we brought almost all of the desserts home because
we were too full to eat them) - and we got to talk to a few old friends
to boot.
After we decided to splurge on the dinner, I told Rob not to get me so
much as a card (although I suspect I'll at least get a rose or two,
anyway, which I'd rather have than a card). He did get Shadow of the Vampire
on DVD, because I'd already bought it - it wasn't expensive anyway. We
also blew a bunch of money on porn and sex toys earlier this week, so I
think those count as Valentine's gifts as well, don't you?
We are watching Shadow of the Vampire right now, as a matter of fact. It's our way of avoiding the Grammys. We saw it in the theater, but I guess that was 5 years ago, and I can't say I remember much of it, except that I liked it, in its weird little way.
