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
----------------------
Ordered yesterday:

Popchips 6-Flavor Variety Pack, 0.8-Ounce Single Serve Bags (Pack of 24)
Gold Box for 13.99.

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!!

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
 ----------------------
Ordered yesterday:

 Saw: The Final Chapter (Formerly Saw 3D) (2010)
[ugg!] for 15.99.

Why isnt this a bluray Cubemate??? who BUYS DVDS ANYMORE? Especially when everyone knows you have a ps3 to play it on!

From Amazon (of course)
expected 1/26   DELIVERED 1/26 unopened, unused... in the BACK ROOM!

 so this is my favorite... Cubemate thought i meant EVERYTHING he buys. haha...

Jacques Moret Short Sleeve Leotard

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
$18.99 (now when I click on it it says 27.99! so he did get a deal...)
From Amazon     expected 1/20  DELIVERED 1/20 unopened, unused... in the BACK ROOM!
------
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!
Country Wisdom & Know-How [Paperback]
By The Editors of Storey Publishing's Country Wisdom Boards

$11.70
From Amazon     expected 1/20    **1/27 still not here!  
DELIVERED 1/28 thumbed through, but unused and in the back room! So much for yogurt...
------
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
From Amazon     expected 1/20  DELIVERED 1/20 unopened, unused... in the BACK ROOM!

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!
------------

Jan 11th
--------
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
------------------
Jan 12th
--------
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!
---------------------------------------------
Jan 13th
---------
Bluray: Vampires Suck - extended BITE ME edition
From Amazon    expected 1/17  *1/17 DELIVERED 1/15 UNOPENED and UNUSED!
I didnt ask... I really dont want to know about this one...
