What I'm Going to Do Yesterday

Well yesterday was pretty cool, I rang up several places and organised stuff.

Some of the stuff included booking myself in for my Motorcycle license this Saturday, so that's cool.
I also rang a map place cos I wanted a map of Brisbane, and found out that the only map to contain every single street in Brizzy is 2m square and costs $259. The one I'm getting, a full map of brisbane's major roads and suburbs is 1mx0.7m, and costs $30 laminated.

Hmm... today's hub meeting, and also the socials meeting is today as well :) fun for all. Anyway...

Colours Stink

This stinks. I've found out heaps of interesting things in this job, but this one affects me, and I don't like it.

When I graduate, I'll be graduating from Creative Industries and Education. In other words, the two sashes will be the pink one, and the green one.

Life isn't fair.

Apparently, there's another holiday which is celebrated on the 14th of February - Singles Awareness Day (SAD). Singles congregate together in public places or in blog comment aisles and commiserate their status through greetings such as "Happy SAD!". Wikipedia deems it self-deprecating humour.

The association of the middle of February with love and fertility dates to ancient times. In the calendar of Ancient Athens, the period between mid January and mid February was the month of Gamelion, which was dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera.

The first recorded association of St. Valentine's Day with romantic love was in the 14th century in England and France, where February 14 was traditionally the day on which birds paired off to mate. This belief is mentioned in Geoffrey Chaucer's Parlement of Foules (1381). It was common during that era for lovers to exchange notes on this day and to call each other their "Valentines". A 14th century valentine is said to be in the collection of the British Library. It is probable that many of the legends about St. Valentine were invented during this period.

There is no mention of Hallmark.

Back in the Grind

Well we're all back at work, and unfortunately that means I won't be going to anything tomorrow :( Hope all you munchkins have fun, and don't do anything too over the top. Happy valentines day for tomorrow!
