Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hello Kitty Head

Valentine’s Day is AWESOME because it allows me to be a girl and talk about flowers and stuff like that. We celebrated the big day yesterday because we didn’t want to rush home from work and then fork over $100 for a prix fixe dinner menu. Also, when I found out that presents were involved, I wanted to open them ASAP.

And here’s what I got!! BEST GIFT EVER. I’ve been whining about a giant Hello Kitty bag since like OMG FOREVER. And you know how I feel about this amazing Sanrio character. I can’t wait to start using this so everyone can laugh at me in the office. I also got a grapefruit knife. Totally romantic, right?

In other news, I wrote about my favorite video game boyfriends for St. Valentine’s Day. Don’t worry, Kratos. You are still #1 in my heart.

Thanks But No Thanks

Someone needs to send a memo to Coach that we’re in a recession, the unemployment rate is at an all time high and we’ve lost the most jobs since 1976 or something. I don’t know, I only read some headline on Yahoo! News.

So why are they advertising their handbags at such exorbitant prices? Wait, let me rephrase that. Coach handbags are expensive and I’m sure well worth the price (usually). But what I can’t stand is how they are acting as if their high “luxury” prices are normal (besides the fact that they’ve increased their prices like 200% over the past 3 years) and, when it comes to the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday, they can be such a steal.

Today I got a V-day email from them, highlighting their special items perfect for any guy (or girl) to give to their significant other. And WTF? Are they really advertising “gifts under $300″?? I thought most of their bags cost around $300. THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS?? You think people really have that kind of money to spend on a stupid leather handbag or bracelet for an overrated Hallmark holiday?

And no, it’s not a typo.

If anything, Coach should market how economical yet still luxurious their gift options are: keychains for under $70 (yes, KEYCHAINS and yes, I did buy one once), free shipping, etc. etc.

But nope! Look, you can pick up a pink leather hobo bag for only $248! That’s under $300 so therefore, it must be a steal.

Grrr…

You know, there’s still that voice in my head that really really really really wants this purse though. But it’s over $300, so I shouldn’t buy it.

Countdown To Valentine's Day

Boys!!! You’ve got less than 2 weeks until Valentine’s Day!! Do you know what you’re doing for your significant other?? Yes, YOU. I don’t care about your stupid drivel about how this is a retarded holiday invented by Hallmark to force you to spend money and wear the color pink! WE’RE IN A RECESSION!! SPEND THAT MONEY!!! BOOST THE ECONOMY!!! PINK IS THE BEST COLOR EVER!

Actually, I should take that all back. This is probably the first year where I feel a little apathetic towards the holiday. I know I shouldn’t write this because someone will read this and take it to heart (get it??) and by the time Feb 14th rolls around, nothing will happen and due to my crazy hormones, I’ll burst into tears and feel like no one cares about me.

Okay, but I promise my hardest that I won’t. I swear. I’m almost 30 years old and that means I’m much too mature to put faith into a silly, pink holiday. We’ve already got a delicious dinner planned where I can eat all the gourmet glazed donuts and Madras curried pork belly to my heart’s content, and that’s all I want!

I swear.

My head hurts.

PS. Awesome Left 4 Dead Valentine cards designed by this guy.

Our 3 year anniversary is coming up soon, and I was lucky enough to have it ALMOST coincide with Valentine’s Day (of which I am a big fan) cause this means I get not one but TWO cheesy celebrations in a single week, even if it’s mostly one-sided coming from me, because I am a giant vagina.

However, do I still have to buy the significant other a present even if I’m a girl?

I’m not sure, but I’m coming up with some back-up options in case the day arrives and he gets upset that I don’t have anything for him…like this cast iron squirrel hook from his favorite online store. Is it just me, or do those acorn hooks look like a penises?

Hmm…

My Valentine's Day Card

February 14, 2008 in Asians, nerdalert, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

Since a certain someone painted me the Arbiter card below, here’s the comic I drew in return. (All of this is based on actual conversations/arguments we’ve had.)

I really think I have a new career in this. RISD, here I come!

Wait, too late for that. Asian American Comics, here I come!

(Except when I think of V-day, I think of that really outdated Victory day celebrated in New England when Japan finally surrendered in World War II….yeah…)

And here I present Brandon Bird’s awesome Law & Order: SVU Valentine’s Day Cards, which I know are super old and have been seen by everyone.

I hope he makes some cards with Vincent D’Onofrio soon. I think my mom is the only one who still watches this show.
