Whoot Woot!!

Well I've been a bit out the total .com business for awhile...but heard of a great new viral marketing scheme/system today, called Woot. It's a website, http://www.woot.com/ which is a lot like overstock.com or america101.com[think that's what it was called]. Which sold bulk items really cheap. So basically Woot offers 1 primary item per day, initially offered at 12am and then till it's sold out. There is 1 side item sold as well, that's it. 1.1 per day. Great way to make a killing buying in bulk and selling at retail.

Movies...

saw some great new movies recently...

History Boys -- great movie, u know I'm watching more foreign films recently, not sure what it about them....I just think they're better. [though low cost production films are also in that league, it's not so much about the glitz and the glamour, as it is about the artistry]

Borat -- great movie, maybe a little raw for your grandmother, but great nonetheless.

Good Shephard -- I was surprised Matt Damon can act, he's not just a character actor w/ a boston accent. I was quite pissed off that they kept talking about as the CIA movie. Well yes the CIA was formed out the OSS, but this movie was about the OSS. And yes, just about everything in the movie was true, or very near the truth as far as what Allen Dulles did. Why did they not use the Allen Dulles as the name of the main character? Speaking of that the unknowingness(new word, should I just say stupidity) of the people in the theatre to speak of Matt Damon's character or Alec Baldwin's character as J. Edgar Hoover. [HEY did any of you buffoons, see them cross dressing?]

Gyms and working out...

Well I've been putting of the gym for the past several years. And with all the added weight from the freshman 40 from X years ago, plus beer and food from travels and sport. Well gyms have changed, at least the way I'm going to them has....

In the past, 7+ years ago, I'd go to the gym at 4.30am, get on select machines for an hour; and yet I saw little change in my physique. Whereas now I can go to a gym, with a trainer by my side at all times(without the added cost of personal trainer) go through a circuit of 12 machines with only 20 reps per machine, and be out the door in 25 - 30 minutes. Oooh if I'd only known this was how easy was before.....

Free of extended costs...

I'm so happy...
I'm done w/ car payments, and I just got rid of my car, VW Touareg V10TDI & traded it in for a new car for my mother

So no longer do I have to search for a diesel station in the mid-atlantic area, or pay 40c more. Plus I'm now making money....at least not loosing $$$$/month.




Now just for me to determine....sports car/wagon or hybrid? Maybe both?
