Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs*

That's right, it's Valentine's Day. I sort of lost track of that with the ice.

So anyway, happy Valentine's Day.

And for you romantics out there: An Affair Of the Head
They Say Love Is All About Brain Chemistry. Will You Be Dopamine?

And from Joel Achenbach, the last word on why love lasts:

And here's Helen Fisher on why couples stay together even when things aren't so hot:

' "There are two stages of love, the first being attraction. During that stage, you get a brain bath of three chemicals that are natural amphetamines. You can stay up all night, and talk till dawn, and feel giddy and euphoric.

' "In time, these wane, and the second stage of love kicks in, attachment, and that's associated with a different brain chemistry, the endorphins, which have natural narcotic-like qualities," she says.

'So over time, you become narcotized in a relationship. The cocaine buzz of infatuation gives way to a dull, blissed-out heroin addiction.'

*A better title would have been Love is the Drug, but I'm more of a Wings fan than a fan of Roxy Music.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A fantastic read. I'll definitely be back.
