SNL is getting better lately. First there was that 'rap video' that Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell did a few weeks back. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at TV, let alone Saturday Night Laughless.

But last weekend I laughed. Again! They did a skit that can best be summed up as being a spoof on the typical "give her a diamond', loving couple walking around in Europe ads. But instead of a diamond, he gives her a gift that "not only says I love you, but that I really know you....a bear holding a heart."

Love it. I'm going to get all un-hip here and say yes, I really like Valentine's Day. It's fun to focus on being in love. I once knew this very sour forum poster who LOVED when Valentine's Day came around so she could talk about how much she hated seeing all these "cheesy" happy-looking couples. I asked her what part of that, exactly, was fun for her? And she couldn't answer me. Why? 'Cause really - there's nothing cheesy about being in love.

Scratch that, there is something cheesy about being in love. The little tacky gifts. The buck-ninety-niners that you can find by any CVS cash register. Who gives those? I understand sometimes gift-time hits you when your cash flow is low. But then why give a physical gift at all? Personally I'd much rather have a great love letter, a backrub or just- anything that took time versus money. Valentine's Day is not about the Benjamins, its about the heart. Cheesy. True.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
