Happy Chocolate Day! WOO yeah! It's also Card Playing Day. Do people still play cards, like in real life and not on a computer? I guess they do a bit since they show that snooze-fest show Poker With The Stars on the j00b t00b. Cards vs. chocolate, puleeze. Today's Birthdays include Denzel Washington (54) and a bunch of dead people. Okay, the internets should die for the next 8 hours now so I can watch more of season 3 of Dexter. Must go drown sorrows in chocolate now.
