It’s Valentine’s day again, and as a single guy it really is my prerogative to go on a bitter and cynical rant about how lame the whole thing is and how it’s pretty much lose-lose for guys whether you’re in a relationship or not. But, that sort of spleen venting is done to death at this time of year in almost every single medium one can think of. Instead, I decided to do something a bit more constructive so have written an article for Null Hypothesis which takes a fleeting glimpse at some of the science behind dating behaviour. Unfortunately, I didn’t finish it till late and it hasn’t been edited and put up on the site yet. Woops.
However, I did manage to find a couple of interesting links for Valentine’s Day show-and-tell. Firstly, for all you weird coupley-type people, here’s something different you can do together tonight (or as a back-up option for the evening since you probably forgot to make dinner reservations again and everything is pretty much booked up). The Queens Of The Stone Age are running a youtube make-out competition to coincide with the recent release of their music vid for Make It Wit Chu (clip below). All you have to do is record yourselves making out to the song and then post it on youtube for all to enjoy. Not surprisingly, as of today, nobody has posted an entry yet.
And then for those that, like me, will probably be spending this Valentine’s Day at home with their arm around a bottle of beer/wine/scotch/all of the above, then here’s a list of recommended anti-valentine’s day movies to keep you mildly entertained and to drown out the noise of that annoying couple you live with “celebrating” Valentine’s Day in the next room.
