Bookflix?

So I was looking on the various websites that I do to try and find money making opportunities and I found a company that does for books what Netflix does for movies. Umm…hello? When did this happen? Because this is really a cool idea. And yes, I know that there are such things as library’s that offer free books but what if you cannot/will not leave the house?

Happy Thanksgiving

When my mom told us that she had gotten rid of all the channels above 100 and all the extras because she was pissed at Comcast, the first words out of anyone’s mouth was “what’s Jenn going to do without BBC America?”. Well, it’s been two weeks and I’ve survived nicely. Okay, so I had a bunch of the shows on DVD if I really want to watch them but I really haven’t felt the need too. Tuesday night, we watched a little History Channel and saw how the Alps were made. Last night it was NCIS night on USA and today we’ve watched a combination; The History Channel and how snack foods are made, Discovery Channel for some Mythbusters, FX for Home Alone and now SyFy is on with Casino Royal. And I didn’t even have to ask for this tonight. Roy just knows I like James Bond and especially this one…okay and I like the cars. Tomorrow is suppose to be all day James Bond too…but we’re going to my dad’s. Which means no James Bond. :( Maybe I should ask for the DVDs for Christmas. That and Star Trek 2009.

Tonight we had dinner at Roy’s dad’s house. He had to go down early because his dad had a flat tire; and Steve and I were watching Mythbuster’s. Mom was sick so she stayed home. It wasn’t bad; Steve read some of his Diablo book and I read some Tort law homework. We did have a minor debate; okay I had a minor debate with his step-mom because she was angry that they did not mention Jesus once during Philadelphia’s Thanksgiving Day parade and she does not think it’s right that they do not make any religious reference during a Thanksgiving parade. I was proud of myself; I did not go over the top and start any kind of major debate. And it ended when she said that she has the right to have a parade where they mention her God and I said “but you just said this country is based on the freedom of religion and not everyone has the same God.” To which is she said “she didn’t agree with that but she did not have an answer for that.” and his dad said “thank God”. All in all, it was not a bad night. I even ate turkey. Covered in a salad dressing I didn’t like but I ate it. Okay, so I had a very small piece and pushed the stuffing around the plate to make it look like I ate it. And then later, I stopped at WaWa and got a sandwich. LOL.

As I said, tomorrow we’re going up to our dad’s. I do not think that I am going to take my notebook. No, it can stay home. Steve installed Window’s 7 on it but since he also has it installed on his PC, it won’t activate. So I purchased it tonight and it should be here sometime next week. No, instead maybe I will take the James Bond book I have. I’ve always wanted to read it and maybe it’s time. Today I spent the say doing various Internet searches of my name to see what popped up. Very interesting but not as much as I really thought was out there on the Internet. It was nice actually. And you know, I do have season 1 of MI-5 to watch…maybe I will watch that. Keep up the Bond theme even if he is MI-6.

The heat wave is over – finally!

Well, I just finished writing my article on my personal experiences in consolidating my student loans for Associated Content. The article turned out to be harder to write than I thought it would be. Primarily because it was difficult to find the words I to explain what I meant. But I finished the article and submitted it. Now it’s just wait and see what Associated Content will do with it.

This weekend I plan on writing two more articles for Associated Content as well as work on KGB and read a book one of my bosses recommended. It is not a thick book so it should not take too long to read. The book is 94 pages long and has large print. That should take me maybe an hour; two tops if I’m interrupted. Looking at the book now, I should have brought the other two thin ones home and just got them all done this weekend. But that’s okay because I’ll read this and than I also have A Civil Action to read for school as well.

And our heat wave is finally ending. Thank goodness!
