based on that reliable source of information known as The Internet, today is National Chocolate Day and, so, in honor of those holiest of holy days, i just finished the 1/3 bar of chocolate i had stashed away in my desk. now, if that's not a party, i don't know what is. oh and september 18th is also National Chocolate Day while March is National Chocolate Month with a special focus on the first week of the month being National Chocolate Week. in fact, i found a list of chocolate days on someone's random page. it's on the web so it must be true:
