My Funny Valentine

I didn't really do a Valentines post- primarily because I thought I really needed photographic evidence of my Valentine's Day gift. So, on to the recap. The night of Valentine's Day, we decided to stay in because a. dining out on Valentine's Day is a hectic mess and b. Lost was on.

Brief aside: Dude, what the hell is up with that show? It's so FRUSTRATING! You never know what the heck is going on, and I have a hard time caring since I have no idea what's real and what's manufactured. (Yes, I know, none of it's real- it's television, but you know what I mean.) One second you're rooting for someone, the next minute you find out they're some kind of psycho killer...you think someone wants off the island, then they don't. Oh my God just make up your minds! The raft thing wasn't unsuccessful except for the whole kidnapping thing- they should try that again. And Ben. WTF Ben. Who is this guy? Really the longer they drag it out, the less I care because I worry it's not going to pay off in the end. I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. Okay...that's enough.

So, Valentine's Day we get to my house and I immediately pounce on the box that Tom brought. I peel open the top and am greeted with this:














And I promptly scream a little bit because when the light hits it right, that thing's eye looks pretty scary. Tom began to explain that because he got me a giant teddy bear last year, he thought he would continue with that theme. But since last year's bear was the size of an adolescent, he thought that purchasing larger and larger bears would soon lead to him buying me a house shaped like a bear and really, where do you go from there? So, he decided to go with the next logical choice.














A giant octopus. For Valentine's Day I got a giant octopus.

And on one of his arms was a purse containing "Wordplay" on DVD and a novella by one of the writers of the Simpsons. Tom's sister said it would've been better if instead of a purse there had been a ring on one of those arms- but what am I going to do with an engaged octopus? It was the best Valentine's Day gift ever. My boyfriend is totally weird. But let's face it- that just makes me look cooler. ;)
