Props to Becca and Irwin for this site — Anti-Valentine’s day. They have a hilarious selection of e-cards to send. My favorites:
I left my heart in San Francisco. Otherwise, I would have like totally given it to you, I swear.
You’ll do.
Single is good.
My Precioussssssss.
I love you blah blah blah hearts & flowers yadda yadda yadda cupid etc.
Nick gave me the COOLEST VALENTINE’S PRESENT EVER. It’s a Lego man picture holder. I mean — two of my favorite things in the entire world — Legos and photos. And the picture holder is actually great because it doesn’t have teeth, and thus won’t mess up whatever I stick in it. The only way it could be better is if it somehow came from IKEA… But apparently there is a Lego store in Chicago (where he was for the weekend), which may actually be better than IKEA but I can’t say that until I’ve been there. So I must visit.
Has anyone else been reading about the massive art project in Central Park called The Gates? It consists of 7,500 saffron-colored gates used to hang fabric swaths of the same color, strewn throughout Central Park. It went up in a matter of days, will be there for only two weeks, and will then be taken down as quickly as it went up. The entire thing is quite intriguing to me, especially as I’ve read more about the artists, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and some of their other work (wrapping both Pont Neuf and the Reichstag in cloth, for instance). It makes me want to hop a cheap flight to New York this weekend and see it for myself.
Fortunately for those of us in other areas of the country, photobloggers are out in full force to document the event.
