Here are various images from Valentine's Days of yore.
Heart-shaped breakfast foods
Heart-shaped scrambled eggs, ham, and toast. No heart-shaped milk, though.
Laminated cut-paper heart-shaped envelope

Poetical romantic quotes
A series of poetical romantic quotes from famous people, followed by my dumb attempt.
[famous people be like: "There's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me" - Gretchen Kemp

and then there's me: "I Love you more than cats, donuts, space, dinosaurs, Cinnabon, David Bowie, Star Trek, anime, baby dragons, books, or sleep, so you know that I really truly love you." - Your Wife]

The truth of our relationship.

Left side: The guy I love

I appreciate you looking out for my health, now bring me more fried and frosted confections

Day 347: America runs from Dunkin'

I don't remember the exact context for this. I think his coworker left a mystery gift on his desk, and I joked it might contain bees.

Panel 1: "Awww, someone left a treat for me...
[digital drawing of a closed paper bag from Dunkin' Donuts]

Panel 2: ...I wonder what it is...
[the paper bag is now open]

Panel 3: ...Beeeeeeeeeees?!!!"
[15 letter B's in various fonts fly out of the bag]
When the treat you thought was a donut actually contains bees
still a better "gift" than that stale bread you brought me home from Maggiano’s

Speaking of things I leave on his computer for him to find, here is an example of other dumb things I do to surprise him...

Day 346: On top of the world

9/25/2018

This idea first hatched when we were watching through the entire backlog of Chopped:
Every few episodes, a contestant would toss an over easy egg on top of whatever dish they had made (sometimes on purpose, but usually to help distract from / cover mistakes underneath).
Each time this happened, the judges would be absolutely beside themselves with amazement - raving and fawning about how innovative the chef was for "elevating the dish," as if they were all perpetually-surprised goldfish who had never encountered a runny egg before.

Apparently, "elevating a dish with eggs" is a trending topic in the culinary world. There is even a NYC food zine called "Put A Egg On It."

While I agree that many foods are improved with the addition of an egg (home fries, burgers, rice, etc.), the absurdity of the current hype and marketing around such a simple staple just makes me laugh. It's like, I hate to break it to you hip modern chefs, but I'm fairly certain people have been putting eggs on food since the discovery of birds.

I'm pretty sure this was another case of him not wanting to eat the snacks I packed in his lunch.

Day 344: Boots and bleps and boots and bleps...

You already know my mind goes weird places.
One day I thought, "If animals can blep because they have tongues, what about shoes?"

Bonus Note #21

Okay, that's the last of the "specifically drawn to be annoying" posts. There are still a few digital notes lined up for this week, but they are regular weird as opposed to desktop-clutter weird.

As a palate-cleanser, here are a few pictures from our first "Fishmas" celebration.

We've had Chintzy Blue, our belovedly-tacky Christmas tree, for almost a decade now, but in 2015 we finally decided to use its color to full advantage and adopt an underwater theme for our holiday decor. I handmade the starfish tree topper, which, while thematically appropriate, isn't quite as fun as either the "dead Harry Potter angel" I previously made out of cut paper, or the "Dr. Wily with floating coat action" figurine we used for the first few years.

[photo of Chintzy Blue lit up. Along with the starfish topper, it has a "sand" tree skirt adorned with collected shells, and various fish, boat, penguin, buoy, lure, seahorse, and stingray ornaments]

Christmas wreath with ornaments
We bought a wreath to hold our fave non-nautical ornaments (geekery, cats, family gifts, etc)
