Today marks the feast of Saint Valentine (and Cyril). Tomorrow marks the birthday of Kat (and also Galileo and Matt Groening). Yesterday was Friday the 13th. The whole weekend is Lupercalia. To celebrate, I have rented a car so that we could go and do things, especially outside-of-the-city-up-in-the-mountains kinds of things.
We will be doing those things tomorrow, however. Today was reserved for homebuilding activities that were made much easier through having a car available to us, such as buying paint and shopping for a mattress.
Mattress shopping is a very nice Valentine's Day activity. You walk into a store full of beds and some guy tells you to go lie down for a while. Then he asks you a few questions and moves you to somewhere else even more comfortable based on your answers. I think more shopping should involve lying down on comfortable things that you can then have delivered.
Now, if you'll excuse me, we've got to hit a vegan restaurant for dinner...
