Mutual Weirdness

Facebook games seem to be the "thing" to do right now. Nearly everyone has a Facebook account, even those of the older generations who may not completely understand what it is. And what better way to make sure people spend as much time on the system as possible but to create addictive, time consuming games where the only way to get the best items is to either buy Facebook credits to purchase the items or to get an insane amount of friends to play with you and help unlock the goodies. I told myself for a long time that I would not get sucked into playing these games. Farmville never sounded fun to me and the Sorority Life that my sisters play seemed akin to playing with Barbie's again. But I failed. Miserably. I have some friends who play a few of the games to support a friend. Their good friend got a job working for Crowdstar Games who makes 6 or 7 games for Facebook. In hearing them talk about the games I decided to try them out. Big mistake! Now I'm addicted to t

  A Guest Post by Eowyn, the cat. Hello all you Human's out there! I am Eowyn and I happen to be a cat. But not just any cat, no, no. My human happens to be BlueRose who is the normal writer of this blog, of course I just call her Mom. Today she has been nice enough to let me write a post for all of you to tell you about Noah's Ark , a place for animals on the internet. Noah's Ark is a new message board on Yuku for just us animals.

Not only is there a message board but we all get interactive profiles that we can customize and use to say hello to each other and post pictures of ourselves on. It's really very cool. O

Recently I've been browsing more and more shopping sites looking to see what's out there to buy online. I absolutely hate shopping so buying online is always a better option for me.

This site is great for online shopping as it lists items from many different sellers all at once allowing for price comparison and bargain shopping. One of the things I'd been looking at recently were bedding sets . They have a lot to choose from and just about anything can be found, from Red Queen Comforter Sets  to Old Fashioned Hurricane Lamps . Just type in what you are looking for and the site does the rest. All you have  to do is browse and buy. While looking at the site a little bit close I was surprised to find that Become.com has been around since 2004. Amazing that I'd not heard of them until now as they've done a wonderful job of creating
