I forgot how much meaning people attach to Valentine's Day. Last year, being in Italy, I was sort of removed from all the commercial hullabaloo. We had Porn & Chocolate day. I fell asleep, but still really enjoyed myself.

This year, Facebook seemed all about Valentine's. Couples were being coupley, singles had statuses about "Singles' Awareness Day," and all I could think was, "why do you guys give a shit?"

That said, I celebrated in customary fashion, i.e. with a playlist. (I was also celebrating Pitchers & Catchers and Injured Players Day, so it was admittedly hard to be unhappy.) Appropriately enough, the shining star of the playlist? St. Valentine's Day Massacre and no, not 50's. Rather, the three song LP by motörheadgirlschool. It was kind of awesome.
