If your Valentine's Day plans are leaning toward just staying in and listening to your iPod, why not rent Cameron Crowe's iPod-on-film? Elizabethtown, starring hunky Orlando Bloom (sans cute British accent) and pretty Kirsten Dunst (complete with annoying traits) in a cutesy staging of Cameron Crowe's favorite songs. There is also some plot about dealing with death, taking risks and falling in love.

There are a lot of love songs out there, but they're busy eating the dust of "At Last."

help Clouseau find the infamous Pink Panther diamond. Probably not the most romantic new offering but you could probably get off on that Henry Mancini theme alone.

Bartenders generally get paid about 52 per hour, and their livelihood depends on your kindness. Bartenders work tirelessly as thirsty patrons bark orders at them all night long, so cut them some slack if they don't beeline their way to you as soon as you approach the bar. Tip about one dollar per drink. Tipping more may ensure more attentive service. On the flip side, not tipping at all is a surefire way to be the last one served when you order your next round.
