Friends Hang Out Together

I think anyone who knows me knows that I think Valentine's Day is a pretty lame holiday. Its a day full of pretty stupid expectations. If you love someone, why don't you show them that every day? Why do you have to cram it all in on one hallmark holiday? Isn't that what anniversaries are for anyway???

In college I used to give my closest single friends a single spring flower as a token of my feelings for them - and so they had something to carry around school and not feel so bad about being single (because lets face it Singles Awareness Day is a sort of ugly spin on Valentine's Day).

This year I offer you the following amusing cartoon for friends on Valentine's Day from James Stowe::

Cats go "Bing!"

So a bunch of us went to see Eddie Izzard's Stripped Too: The Intimacy Tour on Saturday night in LA - and can I just say: FANTABULOUS!

First off - I <3 Eddie. He's hilarious, intelligent (even if crap does come out of his mouth sometime), and seems like a pretty good natured guy. I've been a fan of his for a while, but this was the first time I got to see him live and it was totally worth the wait.

Also - before the show and during the intermission you can tweet Eddie and his twitter page shows up on screens on the stage - mine made it up - which was kind of cool.

Here is a little taste of the show (clips are from youtube, not me - we were sitting in the loge):
