Valentine's Day Eve

This year the Valentine's day weekend spending got moved up one day - into a blur of countless overpriced drinks, pep talks, hookah pulls, barely audible conversations, dancing, and a schizophrenic DJ playing the most random songs ever. This morning was definitely one of those WTF just happened mornings. Especially after I noticed that my almost brand-new camera had gotten totally bitch slapped by the oversized hipbone of the one fat girl at a lounge full of gorgeous women. That wasn't a grenade, it was full-out carpet bombing.

Being single I've definitely become more observant, and despite the fact that I fell asleep on the cab ride over and back, a couple of things definitely stuck out:

1) A belly dancer with a belly bigger than my head, and not because she was pregnant. Which would still be weird either way.
2) A girl (we'll call her Kate) who, besides being short, worked in finance and hated it! She'd rather be waitressing. Kate some people are just too smart for their own good, but you do get to live by yourself because of it.
3) Girls at work greet everyone by kissing, which incidentally is how they do it it Buenos Aires as well. No puedo creer lo que mis ojos me dicen.
4) CNBC pajama gram commercial is strangely kind of a turn-on these days. The reason I say strange is because this commercial has been playing for the entire year and a half since I started watching the channel regularly (around V-day it gets played 50 times a day) and I always thought it was hokey.
