Staying healthy is the key to keeping yourself alive. Video game characters know this all too well. When your red heart gauge reaches zero... you die. For non-bitmap humans like you this is more of a challenge. But luckily after extensive study at ThinkGeek labs we've determined that people feel best when they are in close proximity to something that they adore. Don't understand? Well luckily for you we've created this amazing 8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt to illustrate.

Buy one of these glowing shirts for yourself, and gift one to your significant other (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, fembot 2000...). During your normal activities two and a half pixelated hearts will light up on your shirt. Hey... you're depressed and in need of a recharge. But get within hugging distance of your significant other wearing the matching shirt and suddenly the hearts on both of your shirts start to light up until you're fully powered up. Go too far astray from the source of your affections and you'll drop back down to two and a half hearts again. Got it?

Is romance possible with primary anxiety? This reading of distracted amor comes partly from a 402% spike in the query, "when is valentine's day." (Answer: February 14.) True, Valentine's Day is more than two weeks away, but traditionally the annual Buzz homage to martyrdom and love begins at this time.

Lookups, especially among ladies of all ages, have begun to register according to schedule, but the online allure for "valentine" is down 27% from this same time period in 2006 and 2007. The quest for "romance" has also taken a hit (-29% compared to last January). Good thing "love" remains relatively stable.

Katie Holmes was never sent flowers on Valentine's Day when she was growing up.

The 'Mad Money' actress, now married to Tom Cruise, always felt ignored by the opposite sex on the romantic day, so she put all her effort into sending cards to her girlfriends.

Holmes is quoted by Britain's New. Magazine as saying, "I like making a big deal out of a lot of things, so yes, I like to have a whole day of romance.

I like surprises and I like sending Valentine's cards. I went to an all-girls high school and every Valentine's Day they would announce who had flowers waiting in the office. I got very used to the importance of giving other women Valentines because my name was never called - never. And I didn't have any money to send them to myself."

The singer - who has been single since splitting from French actor Olivier Martinez - often logs on to the web search engine to check out potential suitors and find out which hunky male celebrities are available.

"I can't lie," she said. "I did it with a friend and she would out me! I can't tell you who I did it with though.

"I simply cannot reveal this information at this time."
