This one's for James

…though parts are relevant to myself and quite a few others… The only link between St. Valentine and romance is in a couple of lines from Chaucer's The Parliament of Foules (1380s) and he probably meant the Valentine of May 5th. What did I do for Valentine's? Rather too much to drink, danced to Go-Betweens and Field Mice, suffered the mockery of my 'friends' and bought way too many books. At least they love me. If they don't I'll rip out their little indexes.

Danced to the Field Mice is such a lovely euphemism for stayed at home.
