My new favorite commercial (I first saw it last night) is for the Toys 'R' Us Easter sale. It starts out with a single white bunny singing "Here Comes Peter Cottontail." Then more bunnies join in until Geoffrey the Giraffe pleads with one bunny that they'll have an Easter sale if he'll make the rest stop singing. There's one scene that looks kind of like a portrait we took of our bunnies for Easter last year. It's cracking me up.

UPDATE: Here is a link to the commercial. Thanks, Rob!!!!!

UPDATE 3/29/04: The link was for Easter 2003. It doesn't work this year, but if anyone does find the commercial, post a comment and let everyone know. Thanks!

UPDATE 3/31/04: A commenter provided this link where you can see the commercial.

UPDATE 4/2/04: Due to popular demand, the creator of this commercial has put the original link back up for everyone that wants to go see the bunnies.

UPDATE 4/10/04: For those of you who want this for your own, commenter Chris is offering the commercial for download from his site. The link is http://www.toda.ws/bunnies.mpeg. Windows users right-click on the link and select "Save Target As...", Mac users either right-click or control-click on the link and select "Downlaod Linked File As..." Much as I would love to send an attached email to everybody that wants the commercial, between work and school, I just don't have the time. Sorry :(

My 20th high school reunion is being planned for next year (2004). I guess the only bad thing so far about having a website is that it was way too easy for them to find me this time. I keep getting emails from people on the committee wanting to hear from me. Yeah, if you guys cared about me, it wouldn't have taken 19 years for anybody to try and find me. What a crock. Can you tell that I probably won't go? Most of the people that I'm truly interested in finding out what happened to them were either not in my class, or don't want to be found by reunion committees either. I may submit my info to the "class website" that a couple of former classmates organized, but I'm not wasting good money to go meet with people I can barely remember. Now, if I could find some of my friends with whom I went to college, that would be another story...

A girl told me this at work the other day and I was just reminded by Marcus that I had wanted to post it here:

"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, one of the best basketball players is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war."

Man, that's tooooo funny.

I really hate daylight savings time. Apparentely, I'm not the only one that takes a week to adjust everytime they do this to us, especially in the spring. I wish we could get the dang thing repealed. In this day and age, it's just plain stupid.

Speaking of stupid, one of the drivers got her car stolen around 7pm last night. First, how dumb and/or lazy do you have to be to leave a late model car running two storefronts away from our business in front another business that always has seedy people hanging around it? Especially when another driver got his car stolen fromt he same exact parking spot about a year ago. Second, she had just got her car broken into a couple of weeks ago and had just replaced the stereo. Third, she kept her purse with ALL her money and credit cards in it in the car while working. Fourth, she wasn't making money drops in the store like a driver is supposed to and she kept said money in the car, not on her person. The thief then got away with about $200 plus credit card slips that not only have the full account number printed on them, but the expiration date as well. Fifth, the store has lost another cartop (they cost about $150 apiece). Sixth, she had just recently dropped the full coverage on her car insurance to liability only in an effort to save money (to replace the stolen stereo?). Seventh, she's now put the rest of delivery drivers in the area at a higher robbery risk because hers was such an "easy score." I really hope the store owner holds her responsible for the lost money. It's too bad stupidity isn't a punishable offense.

While I'm on a grumbling rant, I hate baseball preempting my favorite radio programs on KOA. Especially when I'm delivering. I can only take so much of the repetitive playlists on the music stations. Marcus said he'll put his CD changer from his truck in my car since he only listens to XM radio anymore.

One funny note: I went to take a nap about 6 (since daylight savings time screws me up so bad). I woke up 3-1/2 hours later. Marcus unintentionally surfed blogs that whole time (he started out looking for a hack for his Pmachine-powered blog). Time flies when you're having fun!!

Yay, I don't have to work tonight!!! I got myself some H?agen-Dazs coffee ice cream to eat while I watch "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." I'm also going to work on my cross-stitch while I watch the movies. It's going to be a nice evening.

I got myself some of these Verbatim Digital Vinyl/CD-R's at Best Buy today. Aren't they fun? Just like the old vinyl 45's.
