Cupcakes featuring Starry Night. These are so great.Also, I'm so glad the Christmas season is over at work. I survived and one woman even apologized for yelling at me, which leads me to believe that there is faith in humanity.

The reason I hate Christmas
It's so funny that Christmas is supposedly the season of giving and kindness.
I often think this thought as I'm ringing out another asshole at work
or listening to some customer be a total jerk.
Why is it that everyone around the holidays "is so busy"/"I can't wait for this"/"You're too slow doing your job eventhough it's very evident that you are understaffed at the moment."/"Why don't you have this in stock? this is ridiculous."
Working retail is rough as it is.
Working Christmas in retail is pretty terrible.
I can't wait for it to be over with.

The funny thing about bunnies.
The funny thing about owning a bunny is that you can't ever really train him/her (in my case, her.)
I mean, Banana knows right from wrong but chooses on her own terms when she's going to listen (or rather not listen most of the time.) It's fine, except for the times when I have to gently prod her to not do something over and over and over and over again.
Instance #1:
Putting your head where it does not belong:
This keeps happening lately whenever I have a drink near her general vicinity. She'll try to drink whatever happens to be inside (that she finds to be pleasantly pleasing) and because the liquid is so low, she'll start by sticking her head inside the rim. This is always followed by her dunking her head inside the glass. But, it is a huge bunny head and that glass is not that big so it always just to happens that her head gets stuck a few times.
I push her away....only to see it happen 5 more times.
Instance #2
Starring at me creepily while I surf the interwebz.
Anytime I'm on the floor with my laptop Banana will inadvertently rest her chin on the top of my computer screen and stare at me. It's weird.
I push her away.....only to see it happen 5 more times.
Instance #3
Going inside my closet
Banana is absolutely not allowed inside my closet. Being a bunny she is apt to nibble on things (although she dosen't nibble all that much) I'd still rather not take the chance. I don't always keep my door closed, as sometimes I forget. During these times it's only a matter of minutes before I hear a stealth bunny butt sneaking into the closet and rustling around. I either say a ster "HEY" or prod her out. She knows this is wrong, I know she knows this is wrong...and my proof is that whenever I go to get her out of the closet, she bounds away joyfully only to return a minute later if I leave the door open.
God, I'm such a sucker.

Movies
There are so many movies coming out/are out right now that I want to see.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century. It follows the life of Benjamin (Brad Pitt), who is born with the appearance and physical limitations of a man in his eighties. Abandoned in a nursing home by his father, Benjamin begins aging backward. While in the home, he meets Daisy, a young aspiring ballerina. As the film progresses, the two fall in love, while struggling to deal with the issue of one growing younger while the other grows older
Not to mention that the dress Cate Blanchett wore to the premiere was amazing.
Milk
Milk is a 2008 American biographical film directed by Gus Van Sant. It is based on the life of the late American politician, Harvey Milk (Sean Penn), who was a gay activist and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Josh Brolin portrays Dan White, the former San Francisco supervisor who assassinated both San Francisco Mayor George Moscone (Victor Garber) and Milk on 27 November 1978.
Where the Wild Things Are
Where the Wild Things Are is a film adaptation of a Maurice Sendak picture book of the same name. The film will be directed by Spike Jonze and written by Dave Eggers.
The movie will combine live action, suitmation, animatronics and CGI. The film's release is currently scheduled for October 16, 2009.
Others include Valkyrie and The Watchmen but I don't feel like posting pictures anymore.
Yes please!
