Thanks for reading, Chris!

Hey Chris, thanks for reading my blog! And being concerned when it is not updated!
I love you! Happy 1 year Anniversary, and thanks for the beautiful flowers :)

The things ladies put up with...

Sigh.. Iv'e worked in retail off and on quite a bit. Unfortunately there are always the people who are going to be the most arrogant people you can come across.. It's awful.
Today, I had one of those situations that just made me so angry!
I had 2 girls and a guy come in. One of the ladies was pregnant, and was shopping to "get things going" as she was almost ready for labour. That alone, baffled me.. The other two were in a relationship.
The two in the relationship were in a corner of the store, and she was looking at many things. Her bf straight looked at her and said "Babe, not to be rude.. but nothing in this store is going to fit you." I gasped.
She was obviously very offended. His response? "Sorry, but it's not". Then prego pipes up and says "Well, maybe like a corset that she can tie?"
Needless to say, the girl ran out crying. Her bf and prego follwed her to the car. There she sat, crying, as he was trying to hug her. They got in the car and left.
What a fucking prick! Are you kidding me? First and foremost, this girl was maybe an XL, maybe a little bigger in some of the items we carry, as they do run small. Second of all, I work in a lingerie store.. the things she was looking at, were garments basically for him, and he says that!? Good grief! If Chris ever said anything like that to me, running away crying would be the last thing I would do.. He would first get a good, swift kick in the junk! Not to mention my ginger rage.. I would be furious to say the least! However, I know he would NEVER say anything like that, not for fear from what I just said, but because he is respectful, cares about me and loves me. That thought would never enter his head!
That being said, why do women put up with that shit?! She deserves much better than that, any woman does.
Not just did she put up with it from her man, but from her friend too?? Fuck off! Never in my life would I say shit like that to my friends, nor would they say that to me. Respect. And really, who was prego to say anything? (here is where my inner bitch comes out..) You are pregnant, about to go into labour, and with your friends.. not a bf/husband.. shopping for lingerie while being 9 months along.. hmm.. wonder how that baby got there?
That poor girl. I hope one day she can find herself a decent guy, who treats her right, and some decent friends, who respect her for who she is, rather than judges her and makes her feel like shit about herself.

The Dark Knight Rises

First of all, let me start this by saying.. I love Batman.. as far as superheroes go, he is the best. If you disagree with me, I guess it's your opinion, but you are stupid.
So, let's start with the first four live action Batman movies.. you know, the super corny ones that started in 89. Batman and Batman Returns with Michael Keaton. Visually, for the time, they were pretty cool movies, I sincerely enjoy Tim Burton, so that could be biased too. The acting was, meh.. not the greatest.. but I mean, come on.. ever watch the tv show starring Adam West? HA! Great show, corny acting in most parts. "Holy Hamburger Batman!" 
Michael Keaton played a pretty decent Batman. Danny Devito played an awesome Penguin.. always creeped me out. Michelle Pfeiffer however, really sucked! The whole situation with Catwoman in that movie was just brutal! However, after those movies.. came.. sigh.. Batman Forever! Yuck! Val Kilmer.. WHY??!! AWFUL!!! Simply awful! He is the WORST person to play Batman.. ever. That being said, this movie failed in my books! I'm sure all Batman fans would agree! Then, came Batman & Robin. George Clooney, also makes a pretty terrible Batman.. Bruce Wayne, ya.. that's a good role for him.. but, you can't be one without the other, and you sir, should not have been any. Better than Val Kilmer, but still.. just no.
These last two were the WORST!

But then, something great happened! Christopher Nolan made the BEST Batman series in 2005. They are amazing! Christian Bale is by far the greatest Batman! You can't even argue that! So don't bother! Every character in these movies is portrayed so well!
This being said, this past weekend Chris and I went to see The Dark Knight Rises at the IMAX. (We also went to the Science Centre for an hour or so before, which was awesome.. Sunday Funday <3). 
Now, when I had first started reading about this movie..and heard Anne Hathaway would play Catwoman. It's just one of those things, I strongly dislike her. I've never been a fan of her acting, and even still think it was terrible she played The White Queen in Alice in Wonderland. So, here I was, ready for her to ruin Batman :( ... However, she was INCREDIBLE! Totally kicked ass.. and I really think she was PERFECT for this role! She changed my opinion on her entirely, with one role.. so to you Anne Hathaway, I say excellent job! Chris actually read online last night that when she auditioned, she thought she was auditioning for Harley Quinn, and only found out after she got it, that it was Catwoman. After seeing this film, she would have made a fantastic Harley Quinn too! (Although Harley Quinn doesn't make an appearance!)
Anyway, time to get down to the things I simply LOVED about this movie.. there will be spoilers... so if you have't seen it.. STOP READING!! Just go out and watch it.. ASAP!

I hope if you are reading this, you've seen the movie! If not, I take no responsibility for ruining it for you!
First and foremost.. every day at work I listen to the same radio station.. not my preferred station, because I mostly dislike radio anyway, but the work preferred station. Anyway, this lady on here, stupid bitch, flat out said one morning.. before the release of the movie.. "I read online that Batman dies in the end, I don't think that will ruin it, because isn't that a give in anyway?" NO!! No it was not a give in! I was furious! Needless to say, when him and Bane got into their first fight, I thought, maybe he dies now? No, it's too early! So, I figured he was a goner at the end there.. and I wanted to tear up.. It was sad.. come on! So, needless to say, I teared up very slightly when Alfred saw Bruce at the end! It made me SO happy! Hope for a fourth movie! Although, I know that won't happen. :(
So.. Iv'e already said how much I adored Catwoman.. Bane? Amazing! The whole scenario with Miranda, I did not see coming! It definitely gave Bane a lot of heart in his character.
 I was a little saddened to not see another appearance of Harvey Dent, but I guess the story line would not have carried as well if he had still been alive. They also, made no mentions of Joker? Respect thing? I would have LOVED to see him back in this one, but no one could play that role like Heath Ledger did.. so it makes me happy that he wasn't.
Also, no Batmobile? I know, he had the bike, and the plane type dealio, but the Batmobile is usually such a staple! There were versions, the ones Bane and his group used painted camo, but that's it.
Every character is this movie was wonderful! The end of the movie, seemed to completely end the series. From Commissioner Gordon realizing who Batman was, which has NEVER happened, to Alfred being completely retired and gone.
I completely called the Robin thing as soon as he figured out that Bruce Wayne was in fact Batman. That being said, they left the end wide open for a Robin movie.. or I guess Nightwing. Chris also read that Christian Bale had said he would never play in a Batman movie with Robin in it. Whomp Whomp! So it appears to me, that Batman gave his roles to Robin, and that is that as far as this series goes. Sad!

Next step for me, watch Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.. and perhaps just go see this movie again! Which is probably what you should do too! :)

Xbox 360 vs. PS3

I have always preferred Xbox to Playstation. I'm guessing it's from the game selections.. more.. girly games? I'm not very good with the shoot and kill games, though I do try, and I do enjoy Silent Hill and Resident Evil. So needless to say, I wanted a 360. My boyfriend (Chris) however, wanted a PS3. We are always competing with technology brands. He likes android, and I am an IPhone gal. So for x-mas I bought him a PS3 (I know, how awesome am I?). I played it, I liked it, it really is a good system, not that I ever said it wasn't.
So, a few months later we were getting me a new phone, IPhone 4S! Chris already had an account through Rogers, so we were just going to sign up for a couple/family plan. Turns out, Rogers had a sweet deal.. switch over to a family plan, get a free Xbox 360 w/Kinect! PERFECT! So, naturally, we chose that option.

After playing both systems, exploring things on them (granted not everything..) I feel I've come up with a pretty good opinion on the 2 systems! 

First thing I noticed and thought was superior to one system.. the controller itself. Xbox takes batteries, which granted, do not die very quickly. PS3, simply plugs in and charges via USB. Once charged, remove from USB for wireless.
1 point PS3. 

We watch Netflix quite a bit, and generally always stream it through the PS3. You can do the same thing with 360... The big difference? You must buy an Xbox live membership to use on 360. It's 100% free on PS3.
2 points PS3.
Time to give this 360 some credit though.. Kinect! Awesome! So much fun! Simple, entertaining and in all reality the lazy person's best friend. When you can wave and talk and get your system to do everything, that's a pretty big deal! It does require a bit of space, and we do find that we are bumping into each other, but I cannot blame this on the Kinect.. but rather our TINY apartment! Once we move to a bigger place, I'm sure we will get even more use out of it!
360-1, PS3-2
Back to this membership to watch netflix and play online. We did purchase a gold membership.. $60.00. Makes Chris angry too, because, and he is right, we paid that to do things we can already do on the PS3. So we have this membership now, which in my opinion, really isn't worth $60. How about throwing in some free credits for games with that membership microsoft? In any case, Chris wanted to play MW3 with his friend who has a 360. So he goes out, buys the game, then comes home to play it.. well.. the membership is under my gamer ID, not his.. and only works for 1! Really??! So, a 2 person household would spend $120 on memberships for the ability for both gamers to play online. I now see why the PS3 is a little more pricey than 360.. So now Chris must play as me. WHOMP WHOMP! That is a HUGE fail on 360's part. Just sayin..
360-1, PS3-3
This next point needs only 4 words. Red Ring of Death.
360-1, PS3-4
After scouring for games for myself to play, as Chris likes his COD games (they are pretty fun, I just SUCK at aiming and shooting.. it's pretty hilarious actually.. "Oh there's a guy!" ... then watch me shoot all around, including the sky..) I still feel that more games I enjoy, are on xbox. Although they do share a lot more of the same games now. Except a couple games.. Heavy Rain.. That game was AWESOME! If you play PS3, and haven't tried it.. I would.. It's a good one! The makers of Heavy Rain are also making a new game, Beyond: 2 souls.. starring Ellen Page! I'm VERY stoked to play this game, and am awaiting patiently{sort of} for its release. These 2 games, only on PS3.. So given how much I loved HR, both systems receive a point.
360-2, PS3-5
So, while Chris was playing 360 online, he has a headset he uses for PS3. When he went to plug it into the 360, which it is compatible with both systems, turns out you need an adapter cord for it to work with the 360. This is not a cheap headset either, not the most expensive, but definitely not the lowest either! Again.. Fail.
360-2, PS3-6
I am sure I could find more points to give to 360, including your avatar and what not.. but.. then I would likely keep finding more points for PS3.. and the cycle could continue forever. Needless to say.. PS3, in general, is a far superior system (ya, ya Chris.. save your I Told You So's).
I recently saw some rumours about Microsoft and Sony releasing new systems in the near future, Xbox 720 and PS4. Unless Microsoft takes some tips from how the PS3 is comparing, we will definitely be getting the PS4, and completely leaving the 720 out of the picture. I will say this though, in comparison to Xbox and PS2.. Xbox was WAY better.. guess Sony realized that one.
