So, I've been trawling crappy romantic websites in the search of a title for my new fic, and I came across this:

Valentine's Day Around the Globe: How Other Cultures Celebrate
England. In the UK, couples and non-couples gather together in the name of love and celebrate by giving cards, candy and flowers. However, they do have a unique tradition involving children. Children sing sweet songs in order to get gifts in the form of candy and fruit. Also, single women believe that the first man they see on Valentine's Day morning will be their future husband. It is a great way to keep certain men from walking by a specific house on Valentine's Day and another way of getting certain men to camp out all night.

Wuh? Of which UK do they speak? Because I sure as well never sang 'sweet songs' in order to get crap from people. As far as I'm concerned, Valentine's is kind of a non-event.

Good thing that happened yesterday: I gave my room an overhaul and cleaned out my wardrobe, and I found my Sinfest t-shirt, as well as my 'Hiro could teleport off the Lost island'! *happy face*

I have Night Watch and Day Watch on DVD! It doesn't have the awesome integrated English subtitles that I first saw Night Watch with, but still! I get to see Day Watch now! I got Saving The World, A Guide To Heroes as well. It looks interesting.

I also went in search of comfort food, lacking one important ingredient: the need for comfort. :D I had to go to three different supermarkets to find ice cream, and that might have been a sign, but I'm sure as hell not going to pay any attention.

Sometimes I hate shopping in Covent Garden, but it was actually kind of fun today. I saw a guy chaining a unicycle to a lamp post, which would have made an a really cool photograph if I was, you know, a photographer. And I heard someone say 'They need to go home and think about their vaginas'. Seems like sage advice to me. ^^

EDIT: OMG, RUSSIAN CUT OF NIGHT WATCH! I wasn't really paying attention when I picked up the boxset. Wee, scenes I haven't seen before!
