Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

My friend who's a massage therapist is offering a special on a 90-minute massage, rose wrap, and guided meditation (optional). I think I may treat myself. I've had massages from her before and she's goooood. And all around a wise and calming presence, with occasional bouts of delightful mischief.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm trying to hold off on using my spa combo-pack Groupon, but it's haaaarrd.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh, I so aspire to be smonster's massaage therapist. In spirit, if not in actual application of hands.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My massage from my friend has been put off until next week because the spa is booked up with couples massages for V-Day. WhatEV. The anti-romantic Grinch in me surfaces.

Because books.

Weirdly, one of my favorite parts was when she did my arms and hands. That was just lovely.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Saints Super Bowl Parade Could Be Boobless

The Saints Super Bowl parade in New Orleans today will likely be a rowdy affair, but police aim to set limits. One rule authorities will be enforcing: no exposed boobs.

TMZ reports that the city is deploying more than 600 police officers to the French Quarter "and anyone seen exchanging nudity for beads can expect a big, fat summons ... or even a trip to the slammer."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's kind of been the rule for a long time. Despite what drunken frat boys shout.

Teppy, come to Chicago!

Gettin' busy in a giant sandwich: A guide to Chicagoland's bizarrely themed love hotels

Your fantasy: Batman and Robin, cops/criminal role-play, cat costumes
Ideal hotel: The “Gotham City” room at Gurnee's Hollywood Inn And Suites (3740 Grand Ave., Gurnee, 847-623-7777).
Amenities: A '60s-style Batmobile Jacuzzi, complete with headlights, plus a 360-degree airbrushed mural of Gotham. Other than a crafty butler, what more do you need?
How it fits into a perfect date: Pick up a little source material from Libertyville's Dreamland Comics, or, in season, check out Batman: The Ride or The Dark Knight Coaster at Six Flags Great America, just blocks away from the hotel. Or if you absolutely don't want to leave the Lovecave, just watch The Dark Knight again—as if you really need an excuse. The hotel also boasts an Area 51 room, in case donning a cape doesn't help you get your boy wonder up.
