I managed to dodge last week's encroaching Hell Spiral. Thanks all for your well-wishes. I'm currently stuck in a sort of maudlin puddle where I think oh god oh god I'm never going to kiss someone ever again I'm 50 years old and my sex life is over but *shrug* not like a large percentage of the world's not dealing with some flavor of that in These Trying Times.

Checked Twitter one last time before posting to make sure there wasn't one more find to share and apparently it's International Kissing Day which...*throws up hands and walks off stage*

When I opened that link, the first thing I saw was a German caption saying "Wenn man eh keinen zum knutschen hat" ("when you don't have anyone to snog anyway") ...

Yes. Is there any other reasonable reaction? (omg he is So Cute.)
