Valentine's Day for the Chronic Procrastinator

Everyone's taking their sig other out to some restaurant tonight (where they'll be ordering off of the Valentine's Day Special $20 for three courses menu instead of the real deal). If you don't already have reservations you're not going to get in anywhere good anyway. Be different. We offer you a few last-minute Valentine's Day alternatives.

The "Lame-O"
Celebrate your love by staying home and leave the day to bitter singles and amateur lovers. Open a bottle of wine, throw on a Duraflame and settle down in front of the TV.

If you haven't already told Netflix to send you something good for the night, you're not going to get a lot of help from Comcast: Green Card on TCM, Forget Paris on AMC. Ugh.

You may have already subjected yourself to TBS's Meg Hanks-a-thon over the weekend including what Seattlest fears may become to V-Day what It's a Wonderful Life is to Christmas: Sleepless in Seattle. Please, please, no. (Seattlest will admit to having seen this movie, but only for the houseboat footage. Really. We don't want this to happen to you, though. Go rent a kayak and peer in their quirky houseboat windows. They love that. Alternately, rent a houseboat for a year and stare back at the kayaks. Either way you get all of the houseboat and none of the Hanks.)

Actually Have Sex
Face up to it: Seattle is not the sexiest city in the country, and all of that talk just now about Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan going at it on the houseboat is not going to help. (Sorry.)

There's hope for you though. Kids seem to be liking the sex toys these days, and Seattle is blessed to have an excellent store for that kind of thing. How did the sexy sexy Toys In Babeland spring up in such a limp city? Don't know, don't care. Seattlest is just glad they're here.
