Sprungli!

This has to be one of the cutest easter bunny plush animals I've ever had the fortune to receive.

As anyone that knows me, knows... I love plush bunnies. I love real bunnies. I love anything with an adorable little face. This bunny has both an adorable face, AND is a bunny... I mean, what more could you ask for?

Did I mention the golden velvety fur? The chocolate-brown "Lindt" embroidery? The "Lindt" fabric tag? The felt 'bell' that really is a bell?

Then, on top of all those goodies... this little bunny has a secret compartment! Yes, there is a little zippered area where you can stash all your favourite chocolate truffles.

And if that weren't enough... this little darling actually came with a bunch of egg-shaped truffles. Truffles, Lindt Truffles.

How can anyone resist a Lindt truffle on its own? That wonderful hard shell... the super super creamy centre... It's like chocolate easter bunny heaven.

I almost didn't need to stare lovingly at the build-a-bear website for an entire week! Secular easter is still my favourite holiday of all time.

Sweet, Sweet, Freedom!

First response, à la South Park's "Guitar Queer-o":
"I quit. I quit I quit I quit. I quit I quit I quit I quit."

Second response, à la South Park's "Fat Butt and Pancake Head":
"I don't work for no pendejo, cholo!"

Third response, à la South Park's Eric Cartman:
"Screw you guys, I'm going home."


Happy Pi Day to all and to all a Good Pie!

Build-A-Bearville.

Build-A-Bearville. It's awesome.
I get to go online, wander around a really cute town, play cute little *RELAXING* games, carrying one of my beloved buildabears with me in a cute backpack.

It's like a really great sims game.

I have a Cub Condo that is all painted, wallpapered, and decorated with furniture. Each of my little furry cuties has their own room. I can visit other people's Cub Condos.

I like being able to customise everything about my character. That's always a bonus.

Then there are the cute little events! Holidays, parties, new games, quests, adventures, etc. Nothing really too time-intensive or demanding. It's like having a small holiday condo to peek in and play around.

New stuff abounds! With every new animal release from build-a-bear, there are corresponding new games, special items, goodies, quests, etc. Did I mention the new Beach that's arriving soon? I can't wait for that!

It's light-hearted, relaxing, and most of all fun. It's not for everyone though -- so if you're a hardcore gamer, you'll not want to bother with this (unless you have a thing for buildabears... heh).

I'm going back into town square to get more balloons for my condo party! Weeeeeee.
