Winning on eBay

Way Off Topic No Comments »

My husband has been bidding on eBay lately. It seems to come in cycles. Instead of a selling cycle, we have entered a bidding cycle. He has the same problem that countless others have run ino and that is getting outbid at the very last few minutes. He is obsessed with watching his eBay auctions. He will stop whatever he is doing and go watch the countdown just to make sure he can win it.

I should introduce him to the auction sniper Bidnapper. While I haven’t personally used it(as I’m in a selling cycle on eBay), it has some really cool features like allowing you to change your bid without going through the eBay hassle and protecting your username from searches. It’s always fun to win auctions and with an auction sniper you are likely to win more.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Yeah! We are picking up this game today. Being huge comic fans this is on our must have list. It’s funny because a friend showed us a video game trailer featuring his favorite character Nightcrawler. Since then, Joe has wanted to get the game. I found from the Marvel website that it was available and relayed that to him. He acted like he really didn’t believe or not that interested. Well, last night he is reading the latest Game Informer and realizes that it has been released. Now he is all excited about getting the game.

Full Disclosure

As I have mentioned on my blog, I post for Payperpost and get paid to do so. Payperpost has taken a lot of heat because of a journalistic concept called disclosure. A lot of people in the blogosphere are against PPP because they do not, at the time of this writing anyway, require bloggers to disclose that a post on their blog is being paid for.

I have very mixed feelings about the controversy over disclosure. For me, since I never claim to be a journalist, then I do not have to play by the same rules that they do. On the other hand, by posting on the Internet on a website then it is part of the media and might should have to adhere to journalist practices.

PPP is a great company that is ever evolving. Part of that evolution process is their announcement of a sister website that is a disclosure policy generator. This easy-to-use tool will help bloggers create their own disclosure policy in a matter of a few minutes. I posted mine on the page titled “Disclosure Policy.”

The disclosure policy generator is a nice idea. This way bloggers can disclose information about their blog wthout having to research or spend a lot of time writing their policy from scratch.

Free Bingo!

I love to play Bingo. We don’t get that many chances to play live, so I like to occasionally play online. There are many free Bingo websites. Playing free Bingo gives me a chance to enjoy a game I really love without having to pay anything.

Free Bingo has some links to play Bingo for free and also recommendations of Bingo websites where you can play for cash prizes. When I play Bingo I think of the good times we shared playing Bingo with my husband’s family. Now I can enjoy Bingo anything at home.

13 Posts of Halloween: Halloween bag

In lieu of a pumpkin or other plastic container for candy for the baby, we opted for a Halloween bag. Take a look:

We are Pirate-crazy around here lately, so I passed on the Disney Princesses for Spongebob. The Halloween bad was much cheaper than the plastic containers. This will fold up nicely in a drawer once Halloween is over, too.

13 Posts of Halloween: FrightWorld the Movie

Way Off Topic No Comments »

Love a good scare and looking for something to do this Halloween? FrightWorld the movie world premiere will be this Halloween. The premiere of FrightWorld will take place at the FrightWorld Haunted Amusement in New York. Tickets are on sale now. They are $23 in advanced and $25 at the door. You can order the tickets on their website using paypal.

FrightWorld is the latest movie by Red Screams Films. This special Halloween viewing is the director’s cut and for right now is the only public viewing of this version of the film. Those in attendance will have a chance to pose questions to the cast. FrightWorld is being promoted as Friday the 13th meets The Shining. Sounds like a terrifying combination if you ask me. A movie trailer is available on their website as well. Also on their official website, check out photos from the set of FrightWorld and get to know the stas of the film.

Patrons will not only see the movie but get to tour the five FrightWorld haunted houses. This year’s five haunted houses are: Reapers’ Revenge, Castle of Fear, Dr. Nightmare’s Asylum, Carnevil in 3D, and House of the Dead. Check them out for yourselves here. Haunted houses really have come a long way since I last visited one. The pictures of these haunted houses look like it’d be spooky to visit. FrightWorld is recognized as one of the top scream parks in the USA. You can definitely see they take pride in doing a frightfully good job.

After the movie, there will be live music from Sanity to enjoy. A movie, live entertainment, and a trip through five haunted houses. That sounds like an excellent way to spend Halloween. Best of all, you get to attend a movie premiere. The whole evening will make for a scary good time.

Conker Live and Reloaded

Games No Comments »

Gamestop has their great deal going on of buying two used games or movies and getting a third one free. We seized this spending opportunity to pick up a few titles that we haven’t yet picked up.

On that list was Conker Live and Reloaded. I had played Conker’s Bad Fur Day for the Nintendo 64 and really enjoyed it. Live and Reloaded is a new adventure but also comes with Bad Fur Day.

I got my first chance to play this week. I played Bad Fur Day for a little while, or as long as the little one would let me. The premise of Bad Fur Day is that after going on a bender, Conker is hung over and must find his way home. This game has language and while the main character is a cute squirrel, it’s not meant for kids.

I can’t wait to play again. We got it for the Xbox, and it’ll be fun to play it on Xbox Live as well.

Free Numerology Reading

Way Off Topic No Comments »

What does your birthdate reveal about you? Get a free numerology reading online right now. The reading is pretty in-depth and can be fun to read about what it says about you. All you have to do is enter your birthdate at SpellsOfMagic.com to get a comprehensive reading. There is even a nice printable version available to you. It’s interesting to see just how close some of these observations are to the truth.

A numerology reading can also be a fun way to flush out a character you are playing. Character creation is my weak link right now in role playing. All my characters have too much of me in them. Creating a past and future for each one can be difficult. Having a reading done on my character can help give me some insight and direction to take the character that is totally unbiased from my own experiences.
My current Dungeons and Dragons character is a Druid/Ranger spellcaster, who gets her magic from nature. So far she is a quiet person, but I’m hoping to develop her a nice robust personality in the coming weeks. Her numerology reading hopefully will get me heading down the right path. My RPG characters tend to favor me too much. By doing a numerology reading and other exercises I can make sure that each character now gets their own personality.
