Beau ideal

Is there a right way to celebrate Valentine's Day?

I'm not sure there is, since we as American's have complicated love so much that we actually have relationship advice in the newspaper.

We mix-up signals, we misconstrue perception, we go to seminars to figure out how to attract our soulmates, we take tests on the internet to match us on 9 dimensions of compatiblity.

We're fucked up.

I only bring this up because I am watching Mythbusters with my visiting friend John. The only thing remotely resembling Valentine's day is the bowl of candy on the coffee table. Most people would begrudge this situation, but I really don't care. I love science-based reality programming.

I don't have much of a card budget either.
