Happy Memorial Day!

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend! You know I did with how long its been posting. So here's the latest from Cubemate.

5/26/11
"Here is this morning's updates, just because I bought the first in the series I now need to get the rest so  here is vols 2-4. But it seems there is a 5 coming soon :( will it never end."

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Bluray
for $29.99

for $34.49

for $24.99

ALL DELIVERED May 28 AND IN BACK ROOM

"And here is an update because I am going to Vegas I ordered this book so I don't need to buy it at the restaurant when I am there and saved $10 for doing so." Right on man! Way to save money!

for $19.77
DELIVERED May 28, OPENED AND UNUSED

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Ummmm....

Well whoops :-) It's not that I forgot about you all! (haha I like how I assume there is more than one person, me, reading this) Work has gotten busy and well, Cubemate hasn't bought much! Damn those yardsales of awesomeness. I even tried sending him a tempting link to 13deals.com for an egg cooker. (He can't resist kitchen stuff). But no go!

So since I last wrote, here is the update:

May 18
--------

"After ordering I thought I might have it but for $11.99 or so I took the chance."   Really... it's worth $11.99 to have it just in case??

The Official Three Stooges Cookbook [Paperback]
for $11.99

Expected May 20 (still not delivered)
------------------
"Whee it is now back to $35.99 just in case I ever have any friends come over. Or when I ware out my other controller."  oh man... I have a slight pull to the "add to cart" button! I paid $45 for mine!!

DualShock 3 Wireless Controller
FOR $34.99

May 24
------
"yes $8.99"   WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? frankly the only thing worth playing on a Wii is the sports games. I don't get anyone playing anything else...

Cursed Mountain Limited Edition
---------------------
"yes $6.13, and having the Nintendo teach the girlfriend how to cook priceless..." 
I seriously doubt this will go the way Cubemate plans...

America's Test Kitchen: Let's Get Cooking
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033BJS8S/ref=ox_ya_os_product
DELIVERED 5/28 and gave to the girlfriend - and she hasnt used it!

"and for even older school:"

For $12.49

DELIVERED 5/9 IN THE BACK ROOM



When I asked him if he really was going to watch Gone with the Wind..
"did i mention its like $12 for 5hours of movie?"
Yeah... I think he actually believes that is a good enough reason to buy it...

Yardsaling only satiates so long...

Dammit, as I am trying to leave he finds another deal! Now if I liked Harry Potter enough, I admit I would be all over it.

Monday, Monday

So after my sabbatical, we had that explosion of purchasing from Cubemate. See, I can explain. My office was reorganized and sadly  I am not part of the cube farm anymore. AND I hvae a confession to make. I never was! I was in a room with 3 people in it. Hardly a cube. BUT the funny thing is, now Cubemate is stuck in a cube farm and I am in a hardwall office! So you see now why I was on sabbatical. I got separated from Cubemate! Sorry to say it, but it was all for the worse for Cubemate. His purchases doubled! 

I am back on assignment now! I will make sure to keep tabs on Cubemate and his purchasing decisions.

So far, nothing for today, but it was a good yardsaling weekend for Cubemate. I imagine his purchasing alter-ego is satiated for now...

Irresistible $5.49 Bluray


Cubemate has begun to be a smarter shopper in his subconscious maybe...
Even though this was an irresistible purchase, at least he sees some logic.
1. it’s a Bluray.
2. Its Johnny Depp

" what a great price!! And it is in 7.1 surround and it might be an ok movie even."

The Ninth Gate [Blu-ray] (2000)
From Amazon for $5.49
Expected 2/3/11 - DELIVERED - in the back room

Now .... I have no idea how to approach this subject.
CHOCOROOMS?!?!?!?!?

Once again the asian obsession comes out. Apparently these are "chocolately goodness, tasty and yummy. Whats not to like about them?" haha... so apparently I will have to steal one to test for myself. They are a little pricey...

Damn these productive Fridays. Well Cubemate ALMOST bought a lot of things today... like a yaht... ?!?!!? but alas, nothing!

Thursday, January 27, 2011

Finally some updates!!!


Cubemate hasn’t bought anything today, but I have some updates from yesterday. And some deliveries! But as predicted they just go in the back room...    **strike that, reverse it! He DID buy something. I was debating on whether this counted, but since he had a shower already for his renovation house, I think this counts as a "just to get a package purchase".

Shower Massage Panel with Digital Thermometer and Spout by Vigo
For $363.61
From *new place!* One Click Direct
Expected 2/? "its expected to come before I remodel my bathroom" haha...
DELIVERED 2/4/11 - took it to the new house to lay there forever in the bedroom

Ummm yeah, that is food, from Amazon

From Amazon (of course)
expected 1/28  DELIVERED 1/28  ** sadly not the variety pack version. A whole box of cheddar! Haha. But they overnighted the variety pack one and he got it 1/31. I am sitting here right now eating free cheddar pop chips. Not bad...
------

And one I missed from Tuesday
" also I bought the dvd "Red" for $12.99 why did I buy it because it was $12.99."
Yeah, that’s his reasoning. But see... he didn’t send me a link and I went to find it. And the BLURAY version is on sale for $12.99!!! but instead he bought the DVD version for $12.99! what is he thinking!!!
Thank goodness he bought a movie at least worth buying...

From Amazon
expected 1/27 (today)   DELIVERED 1/27 unopened, unused... in the BACK ROOM!http://www.amazon.com/Red-Special-Bruce-Willis/dp/B003Q6D2B4/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1296154525&sr=1-1

if you want to "spring" for the BLURAY for the SAME PRICE, here it is :
-------
note: after reading this post again after writing it... i proceeded to click on the previous link and BOUGHT THE BLURAY! it seems Cubemate is having a sick effect on me... dammit!!

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

Yeah i know its Tuesday

So when i started this blog, i was bored out of my mind looking for something to do. Now that i get excited about it, my boss starts dragging me to all these meetings all day and i dont have any time to do anything, work, blog....  so here i am at home updating a blog for work! the humanity...

and so Cubemate said he had no more updates from any deliveries today! What the hell?? what happened to the 2 day shipping from Amazon???? there are still 9 packages out there that should have been delivered ages ago. I am going to get to the bottom of it. Sadly Cubemate seems to order so much stuff that it is taking this blog to find out he never gets half of it! haha

Hell has frozen over!

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Spoils of a 3-day weekend

So I prewrote this post betting on the chance that Cubemate wouldnt be able to last 3 whole days of our holiday weekend to order anything. AND?  sadly i am disappointed...
This might need to be updated tomorrow morning because he is currently waiting on the lightening deal starting at 4pm!- aww fail by Amazon, it was a kids Wii game!

Welcome back from the holiday weekend! Well for some of you...
Cubemate had an unproductive weekend in terms of internet purchasing, but he has made it up today in the first few hours of work!
------
As you can tell, Cubemate has a Wii and a PS3. Oh and he has an odd fetish for Disney. As usual he cannot resist the "Gold Box" deals. So first he buys "Epic Mickey" for the Wii. Apparently he would like to paint his house in real life and then also paint in a game????

Listed in the Gold Box for $29.99  (and as always, 2 day free shipping with his Prime membership)
From Amazon     expected 1/20    DELIVERED 1/20 unopened, unused... in the BACK ROOM!
------
Next he evened out his game purchase buying "Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage" for PS3... (actually he fell for one of the "suggestions" when he bought the Epic Mickey game!) I don’t understand it. "Every scene and level faithfully follows the iconic visual style of the original comic series." How can the style be copied from a comic? It was just images? This is movement! Oh well...

$39.99 (sale)
From Amazon     expected 1/20  DELIVERED 1/20 unopened, unused... in the BACK ROOM!
------
By the time I was done typing this up, Cubemate sent me another e-mail of 3 more things he just bought!!!!

Damn that gold box! Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

And I Quote, "just because I see you can make yogurt in a box." Yes ladies and gentlemen... this book can show you how to make yogurt in a box!

Once again, QUOTE, "for the price to see it in a theater once I can see it whenever I want in my home theater." Good thinking I guess, but that still doesn’t change the fact that it sucked ;-)
Ok... maybe rottentomatoes.com gave it a 97%... :-P

Inaugeral Post

Welcome all!

As my first post, I want us to catch up on the new year. Its only 2 weeks into the new year and Cubemate has already bought 5 items on Amazon. He also searches woot.com, 13deals.com, thingfling.com, buyershq.com, and housewaresdeals.com (um I think that’s a sum of it all!).

So lets get started. Jan 1-10th he says had no appealing deals. ;-) Or maybe he was doing good with his New Year's resolution, oh wait, he just didn’t buy anything from Amazon! Haha. So he has Amazon Prime where he pays extra per year to get guaranteed 2 day shipping (if straight from Amazon and not an affiliate). So he's slightly a shop-o-haul-ic there. But we found out he forgot about a WOOT order on the 4th! So he wasn’t that good of a kid afterall ;-). These items of the new year are his "i didnt get it for Christmas so i am buying it now" list. At least thats the excuse he is using for buying this week!

Here's a quick summary to get us caught up:

Jan 4th
-------
Tekno Creations Charging Station for Wii w/ LiPo Batteries
From Woot.com    expected 1/14? DELIVERED 1/26/11 unopened and unused, BUT sitting in the living room

Sadly this one was not purchased with his "VIP" Amazon account. He has to wait like the rest of us peasants for his package. AND! sad thing is that he wasnt sure he had even purchased it until i pushed to write this blog about him. Made him do some research! So this blog just saved him from wasting more money and buying it twice!

Book: Human Japanese -Japanese the manga way: an illustrated guide to grammar and structure
From Amazon  DELIVERED 1/13/11  opened and unused... in the BACK ROOM!
1 "unmentionable" item
From Amazon  DELIVERED 1/13/11  opened and unused... hidden in the BACK ROOM!

Cubemate would like to live in Japan one day (i think because of his love of the small and frail women) and thus is trying to learn Japanese. But, this useful book waits unused in the BACK ROOM of his mother's house, where most items end up he buys!
*"unmentionable" hmmm not sure what to tell you since i dont even know what it is. (Ah the barriers of conversation between male and female coworkers...) All i can say is that it must be something dirty ;-) AND EVEN THIS GOES UNUSED! haha

CD: Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes - Social Distortion Album
From Amazon    expected 1/14 *1/17 oops, its a preorder. No clue!
DELIVERED 1/20 unopened, unused... in the BACK ROOM!
CD: Longest EP by No Effects 
From Amazon    expected 1/14  *1/17 DELIVERED 1/14  location: CAR! wow!
This purchase goes back to the "i didnt get it for Christmas" but most of all is "i didnt get it from my girlfriend for Christmas". Sadly, Cubemate's girlfriend doesnt do well for gift buying. He now has two copies of the Family Guy Trology on Bluray!
