Here I Go, Again, On My Own

If you can guess which song that subject is from, I’ll give you a cookie.

It’s about time for me to get new glasses and it’s the first time for me to buy them on my own. My parents always got my glasses under their insurace so I never thought much about the price until now. I picked out a nice frame and of course I want the anti-glare, scratch resistant, feather weight frames, right? At Lenscrafters, this came out to $369.62 exactly. Yeah, well, I just don’t have that.

Oh, if only there was somewhere online you could get cheap glasses, right? Well, of course, there is! My favorite thing about the internet is that you can find anything cheap. I don’t know much about the quality, but for $8 you can’t be too picky.

Now, I haven’t tried them yet, so I can’t say much about the quality of the product. But just a quick search around the site you can see some of the nifty frames they have. Though the site isn’t much to look at, it serves its purpose well. It’s easy to find nice frames and, one you’re ready, it’s easy to buy. I’m thinking about the Harry Potter style. I wonder if I could pull it off..

Spiderman 3

I just saw Spiderman 3 last night. I had a lot of questions. I guess it’s been too long since I saw the 2nd one and it must not have left much of a stamp in my mind because people were telling me things I really didn’t remember. The movie was 2 hours and 15 minutes long, it dragged on a bit. I heard some complaints from some boys about how things happened differently in the comic, as well. I know they need to change things so you don’t know what to expect, but you should definitely make sure the fans are okay with it.

I liked the movie okay, but I found myself wishing it was over about 45 minutes in. I don’t know if it was me, or the movie, or the lack of comfort in the position I was in, but the movie didn’t hold my attention well enough. I don’t think it was me, though, because other people started talking at the end and weren’t even paying attention. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. I expected more from a Spiderman movie.

Grapevine

Have you ever seen something done and said to yourself, “I wish I’d thought of that”? Something so original and unique that you know it’s going to be amazing? I found a site just like that today and I want to tell you about it.

The site I found is called Grapevine, and it’s.. different, to say the least. This website brings together all the female stereotypes in a truly unique form. It kind of reminds me of an interactive version of Sex and the City. Let me explain.

There’s a story of a few girls. These girls are smart, sexy, and hip. You can follow the story and participate by viewing or buying the products and services they make use of. The story takes place in Chicago and the girls spend a lot of their time at the Grapevine Cafe and Boutique, which has coffee, pastries, cocktails as well as handbags, belts, shoes, and other accessories. Everything they do, wear, and buy is available for you to purchase yourself.

If you see one wearing some amazing shoes, buy them. If they plan a vacation and you want to go, click the links they provide for information on planning your own trip just like it.

I’m just in awe at the originality and quality of this website. Check it out.

Things Work Out

Did I mention before about how these paid reviews happen to fall into my lap at the perfect time? It’s starting to get a little scary, actually.

My friend Dave is 20, he got a credit card when he was 18 and went crazy. Actually, he got 4. They had a limit of $500 to about $1000 each. He maxed them all out straight away and wasn’t working at the time. He ended up getting all his cards charged off. His credit score went straight down into the 400’s and he hasn’t tried to get credit since.

So Dave has a job now and his girlfriend is pregnant, so he needs to get a new car. Not a “new” car, but one that’s more reliable to cart around his little bundle of joy. He’s been trying to find a bank to lend him money so he can get that car, but with those cards.. it’s not happening.

So just the other day I got an email that I was accepted to review this site, Bad Credit Offers. I decided to look around, because I like to know something about the site I’m reviewing, and his situation popped into my head. His bad credit is the whole reason why he can’t get this car he needs so badly, so I sent him to the auto loan section. They have a list of lenders who are willing to lend money to those with poor credit. I really hope he can get help there.
