Each Thursday I will be talking about something from the past. This can be a show or event, you never know!

Fun Friday!

On Fridays I will discuss a different things, this can be a subscription box, new geek friendly tech or something fun.

Loot Crate vs Nerd Block (Coming Soon)

Labels: , , , 0 comments

Anyone who has read my blog knows that I am currently looking for a job. Once I have a job I have a plan to sign up with Lootcrate or Nerd Block. I think I might subscribe to one month of each to compare them here on my blog.


I have yet to try either of these services however I am excited to. I have no idea if they would give out a complimentary box for me to review on here but if it is something they do offer I hope to hear from them. I know with Lootcrate you have a simple basic box each month. From what I have seen Nerd Block offers a few different boxes to choose from.  I have seen the classic box, the horror box as well as the arcade box. Each offering its own specific theme. Nerd Block also offers a child version with gender specific choices.

I am planning on comparing both of the basic boxes first. Once I have compared them I will make a choice between the two and have a monthly subscription to the better service. I know there is also a price difference LC is around $20 and NB is around $30. I hope that the products are better at nerd block for the price difference.

Keep your eyes peeled for my comparison once I am able to get my hands on them.

If you are from either of these companies and offer a free box for review purposes please contact me via email by clicking here.

Free Game: Dragon Age: Origins

Labels: , , 0 comments


I wanted to share with anyone who takes the time to read this that Origin is currently giving away a free copy of Dragon Age: Origins. At this price even if the game is bad its at minimum worth what you paid.

To get the game all you have to do is sign into Origin and go to the "On the House" game section. They are currently offering Dragon Age and Bejeweled 3 for free however this does change ever so often.

To get more information on this  and other games currently offered for free by Origin take a look at their site: Origin

Thank you again for taking the time to read this.

Confused and Unemployed 8(

It has been a very difficult time for me lately so I have not been posting unfortunately. I want the blog to succeed but I also need to have a job to financially succeed as well. I have applied to lots of places, had a few interviews but nothing has panned out for me recently.

One thing that upset me was that I applied and interviewed for a job with Garmin, lets be clear I have a customer service background and I have recently received my Associates degree in accounting. I have more then enough skills for the position I applied for. During the interview one of the questions I was asked is "what did you enjoy most about your last job?" In my last job I word at home and scheduled meetings for my clients. I advised what I liked most was that I was not micromanaged and I was able to be creative in how I did my job. I was able to make relationships with the people in the offices I was calling.

At the end of the interview with the person at Garmin, he summarized the entire interview, he stated that I did NOT like being managed and that I prefer to work on my own. This was him taking everything I said out of context and twisting it while making me look bad in the process. This sort of thing should not have happened as it was extremely unprofessional in my opinion.

Something else I have learned is that an educated background is not necessarily a good thing. Before I started going to college I was able to get a job almost instantly. Now that I have a degree I am overlooked when I apply because I am over qualified. How does this make any sense? You are too smart to work here, really? In my experience many of the people I deal with in customer service need to have more education because they have no clue how to do their job.


Under Construction

If you have not noticed I am currently still in the design process of my blog. I wanted to make a post just so that there is not any confusion as to why I have not been posting many things.  I Hope to have the final touches completed in the next couple weeks.  Thanks for reading and have a great day!

I am binge watching: Dog and Beth: On the Hunt

Labels: , 0 comments



Been binge watching Dog and Beth: on the Hunt. I happened to notice something that confused me. In season one towards the end when Dakota and Cecily went to take their bondsman test they were wearing very distinctive clothing. After the test they advise that they failed. Later in the same episode they went back to take the test a second time.  Thing is they both had the same clothing as they had on the first time. This confused me a little bit, trying to figure out if this was staged or if they had to have a photo taken and wanted to wear those specific outfits. Either way I have no idea but it is still fun to watch.

If you have not seen it then you should check it out:

Tabatha Coffey

I had an idea for Tabatha Coffey I think that she should have her own show that is similar to project runway but for hair. Make it so she is the mentor of a group of young stylists competing in the hair industry. I think it would be a great show to watch.

Why must an appointment take so long? Spent 45 minutes at the doctors office, spent more then $100 so annoying!

No need to worry it was not for me and everything is fine :)
