Happy Valentine's Day!
Even though I haven't updated for almost a month, I can't let Valentine's Day go by without the annual Valentine's Day Update. My brother even sent me an email to remind me that despite how busy I am with moving to Austin I had better have a bright pink update, disappointed I didn't have it up by this morning. And since he's 51.2% of my readership, I have to give my audience what they demand!
ThinkGeek as usual has some good stuff for Valentine's, including a 1930's Book Of Love. Because if it was good enough for the 30's, it's good enough for now.
And if that isn't enough help for you, there's always lots lots more on the internet, including How to Impress a Girl, the Best Pickup Line (although personally I'm a big fan of "I wish you were sin squared and I was cosine squared so together we could be one together"), or even ideas on how to throw a Star Wars themed wedding.
And finding that significant other? Who needs Match.com or heaven-help us all, MySpace, to find people when there's Geek2Geek
Which segues into a perennial topic on the VDU, why dating nerdy/geeky guys is the bomb diggity. Even Craigslist agrees. CafePress also has a gigantic selection of Nerd Love stuff, so you know it's not just a fringe radical movement. Actually I might have to pick up a few stickers now that I look at it again. I mean, come on, reading really IS sexy!
Finally, I end with two of the more interesting phrases I've heard this past year in regards to dating:
intellectual arm candy - Dating someone that's smart because it makes you look smart
intellectual homosexuality - Going gay for someone of the same sex not because of physical attractiveness, but because of their brain
And yes, I'm officially in Austin now. Pictures from the trip to DC and NY will be up as soon as I get my desk tomorrow.
