bitter candy redux
If you were with me last year this time, you might remember my Valentine's Day offering for those who, well, would just as soon sleep the day through. In the spirits of empathy and commiseration, I offered up my special Valentine's candy to help them through the day. Another year, another group of bitter folk, another batch of bitter Valentine's candy. And because there's some left from last year, I'll post it, as well. Click on the candy for a better view.
J, you might enjoy these too: http://www.semiotheque.com/pub/antivalentine.jpg
Posted by: daniel silliman at February 14, 2005 06:32 AMI'm actually excited today. It might be because my coworker made giant heart-shaped sugar cookies with pink sprinkles and heart confetti... and I have one sitting on my desk with a giant candy-red-hot "A" in the center.
by the way, i love that candy. I like last year's too. Jer 17:9. heh.

thank you from the bottom of my desperately single heart.

Posted by: Manders at February 14, 2005 04:46 PMWow, those are pretty bitter. They made me feel so much less bitter by comparison. Good candy.
Posted by: Valerie Silliman at February 14, 2005 10:22 PMglad to help, valerie. thanks all for the comments, even for throwing scripture at me (thanks, manders).
Posted by: jeremy at February 14, 2005 10:35 PMlast year, these candies were my first introduction to you. michelle read them to me over the phone, and i wasn't in the mood to listen, but i ended up laughing really hard. and then i cried and told her i was hopelessly in love with t.s. eliot.
