I dislike the holiday thoroughly, almost to the extent that I would forgo the things I enjoy for such a day. However, due to the overwhelming popularity of this holiday, many of my favorite things are in abundance at this time of year. First and foremost, I made the mistake of putting my name on the e-mailing list for my favorite restaurant, Biwa, which I have mentioned before. If I had not done so, I would not have known that they were offering a special expanded menu on the afore mentioned "holiday". Imagine me weighing my options like Justice weighs whatever it us she weighs with her weighing thing. Except I'm not blindfolded, so I can clearly see Biwa winning out over the principle of not doing anything on St. Valentine's Day.
I cannot be blamed for a tasty restaurant buying into the sham that is the big V. I merely do what my stomach tells me. It says it doesn't care what the date according to the Gregorian Calendar is.
The other half of the demise of my principles was the OMSI. The OMSI is a museum. I also get their newletters by e-mail. I just noticed this connection. Thwarted by technology again.
What was I saying?....
Oh! OMSI, that sly devil of a science and innovation museum! Sly devil indeed.
OMSI is having an event in their planetarium. The event's title is "Romancing the Stars" and includes the telling of constellatory tales of love. Granted, those tales are all from people's past who had less critical sensibilities than we do in our current age, and I happen to like their lack of restraint in story telling. I find the whole idea to be incredibly interesting, and as I have been longing to do an event at the OMSI lately and their e-mail happened to arrive today.... well... you see my predicament here.
So, stone me for hypocrisy. So, Alex and I will be enjoying some tasty Japanese food and then a fun event at a museum. St. Valentine would be abhorred. I am too.
But, a girl's gotta eat... and learn.
Happy BIG V (aka, eat and learn day)!
