My Valentine Present

Hmmph. Christina Aguilera, aka Talented Spice - oops, getting my bands mixed up lol, but in a supergroup of Britney, Christina and a few of the other poppets, Christina is the talented one - anyways, Christina is getting hitched. Now I'm sure she has been around the blocks a bit, but marriage just wipes out ANY chance I had lol... Happy V Day indeed.

Now, I am as sick and tired of the Valentine's Day thing as the next typical guy lol - and no Carson off Queer Eye, you do NOT count as a typical guy - so didn't do anything special for or from V. My thinking is that surely there are more important dates in a relationship than one purely invented by the cardmakers and florists? And yes, I do live in a cave LOL, but really people, the amount of money that is spent on this ONE day for some marketing appropriation of love, rolling my eyes here...

Further on the entertainment stream that started this entry off, Britney won her first Grammy, for Toxic as best dance recording - it is the End of Days obviously LOL. Oh no, look, service resumed as normal, someone that dies gets a huge sympathy vote, Ray Charles topping the ranks with eight awards. And although in US politics I would admit I am a Clintonite, really truly does the man deserve a Grammy for his autobiography??? I read the first sentence of that book and hmm, will find a link somewhere - anyways, that's AFTER editing? The sentence went on for like five pages LOL LOL...

Hmm, I told you I lost my Mets cap at the movies a couple of months ago didn't I? Well, on the Mets merchandise website at the moment, the cap is $25 US, now just looking at the postage from the States and everything. It's gotta be better than $80 NZ as per the price in one of the sports shops back home - and that wasn't even the blue cap, it was some fancy black one LOL...

Umm, $43 US postage on a $25 cap hmm, let's go back to the drawing board LOL - I don't NEED it FedExed guys, just put it on a ship and throw it over the side as you're passing the Equator LOL it will get to me :)

Later peeps - off to find an Aussie distributor of North American sports stuff - if that's the postage on a hat, god knows what the shipping on a hockey jersey will be LOL - yes, even if they aren't playing :)
