If you don't have plans and are in Portland, come to our house to eat pizza and drink champagne. It would be nice to see you!
BRING
pizza
bubbles
a bathing suit?! (might rent a wood-fire hot tub)
Mike was threatening a romantic-themed white elephant gift exchange. Then I threatened to allow priority in choosing gifts based on amount of $ spent, and then it got weird. So maybe we'll work that out.

WHITE ELEPHANT HALF-FULL JAR OF BODY CHOCOLATE
Right now the hot tub is up in the air, but the rental upstairs will definitely be vacant, so that'll be fun. Open it up and have a party in the entire house for once! Maybe make a fire upstairs for a quiet romance zone.
For once I would just love to do something for V-Day aside from listen to my yearly gift, which is a long and furious rant about the tyranny of heterosexual capitalism.
Charting the rant over the years has been interesting though. When we were first together, he hadn't yet read Marx or Adorno or anything like that, and the rant was very ill-formed and lacked focus, and took shape primarily as a tirade accusing Hallmark of economically over-burdening men by making the holiday so gendered. As the ensuing 11 or 12 years have worn on, however, his critical faculties have become progressively honed and incisive, and the breadth of his historical knowledge and theoretical acumen has become ever-more daunting to confront. At this point, his rant is a top-notch political-economic screed that I think would hold water for even your brainiest Marxist feminists.
My response to the rant has remained unchanging though: just a simple "I know, honey"
Anyway partner yoga sounds nice
Partner yoga sounds great! Mike and I went to a late Sunday night yin class recently, which he loved cause it essentially combines two of his favorite things: organized events and napping. So now he keeps asking to go back to "nap class".
they did a lot of breathing right into each others faces, he was instructed to massage his date's inner thighs, and then the "guru" told them to start taking each others clothes off so as to "remove their masks"... it was special.
Probably worked on lots of American ladies.
the girl was supposed to feed him stuff while he was blindfolded and her attempt to put a chocolate-y strawberry in his mouth was... terrifying.
she kinda wiped it around on top of his mouth.
:-O
