I haven't heard of it, but isn't the beauty of ebay the supply and demand? You can post it for $0.99 (or $2 that you spent for it) and see where it goes. Do it with a reserve. I've made a mint doing that before when bidders get caught up at the last minute making a deal.
Good morning all! It's 30 something here in Chicago but supposed to get up to 45 or 50. I'm sick and on antibiotics so I'm going to have to cancel my St. Patrick's Day plans which really sux. St. Paddy's Day in Chicago is SO MUCH FUN!!! But I'm not supposed to drink and if I have one . . .I guess I'll spend the weekend resting watching movies and reading. That's not to bad afterall.
I am about 400 pages in. I'm so jealous of everyone who has finished! Book is good - I can't seem to find all the time I want to finish it because I don't want to put it down but unfortunately things like work get in the way!
One more to nominate: "The Monsters of Templeton" by Lauren Groff.
I'm reading/listening to "World Without End". I'm also reading "A New Earth" and participating in that online class Oprah is doing each Monday night. And I'm finishing up "Pride and Prescience" which I started on the plane to Vegas.
Must be nice to get to wear short sleeves Joey! Actually, I am wearing a short sleeve-shirt but it is over a long-sleeve one :)Hope everyone has a great day!
David Cook and Jason Castro blew me away last night!!! That was a way cool version of Lionel Ritchie's "Hello". And Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is so amazing I kept holding my breath thinking he was going to blow it but he sang it so well!Tonight I hope Luke Mendez and David Hernandez go home.
A Thousand Splendid Suns, Twilight and The Time Traveler's Wife all sound good to me!
I finally got started today. Not sure what page I'm at but I got through the first hour of the audiobook . . .
Good Morning All!
It's still cold here in Chicago. Feels like it's in the 20s. I just got back from Vegas where I was this past weekend. It was in the 60s and 70s there - was SO nice. But today I am majorly sleep deprived and have been sucking down the coffee to try and wake up!

Thanks Joey! Photography is interesting because there can be so many perspectives of the same thing. When I travel with people who are also interested in photography, we can all take pictures of the same thing but we end up with so many different angles and perspectives. I love it.
Cool blog Joey! You are an awesome photographer. I have a few blogs too. My personal one is http://rachelsodyssey.blogspot.com and it is probably only interesting to me and my stalkers :) I just post stuff I do or watch on tv or whatever. I also have a foodie blog called rachel's bite which is at http://rachelsbite.blogspot.com. That one is more fun and I sometimes participate in food blog events - where all sorts of food bloggers cook the same type of thing and then we all compare.
Good morning from Chicago! We still have snow on the ground but no more coming today. It's brrr cold though. Weather.com says that right now it is actually 21 degrees but it feel like 8 degrees. Gotta love the wind chill factor. I do not care though because in 48 hours I will be on a plane for Las Vegas where it is in the 70s! That is of course if I my flight doesn't get cancelled due to the snow storm we are expecting tomorrow night . . .
My top ones changed a bit! Actually, I liked 8 out of 10. Last week I did not like Chikezie or David Hernandez but last night they performed well!I like Michael Johns and Jason Castro even though their performances last night weren't the best. I could still see them releasing albums and each having a great voice.
David Cook was cocky at the end, but I like his voice. Jason Yeager gets my sympathy vote because I think he really improved alot from last week.
David Archulette was really great! I am so happy for him. I hope he goes a long way. Unlike Paula, I don't want to hang him up from my rear-view mirror, but I do want to give him a big protective hug. He is so cute when the little girls scream for him!
All I know is that Luke Menard needs to go home!
Morning all!It's very hazy here in Chicago and we are all anticipating a major snow storm to hit tonight - again! I'll be listening to my audiobook as I shovel over and over.

I'm physically reading "Rose of York: Love & War" by Sandra Worth and I'm listening to "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" by Salman Rushdie. Such the multi-tasker!
I got my book in the mail yesterday - yeah! I will probably start it sometime early next week. May start the audiobook this weekend.
I love American Idol and have been patiently waiting for the top 24 so I can start getting into it. I watched the boys on Tuesday night and Michale Johns is my favorite. David Archuleta, Robbie Carrico, Jason Castro and David Cook are others I'd like to see make it to the top 12.I missed the girls last night because I went to see Jersey Boys (the play) and got home too late. It is Tivo'd of course and I will catch up on them before I watch the results tonight. Good Stuff!
It's 9:55 here in Chicago and I'm drinking whatever generic brand of coffee the IT department of my company makes. Strong stuff! It has warmed up to 19 degrees by now. And of course down by the lake we get the fun winds making everything significantly colder.My bummer of the morning was that the audiobook I was listening to on my iPod suddenly stopped on my commute. Whenever I try to hit play it just says "this is audible" and then exits out. Ah! How will I survive my commute home tonight without continuing my story?
I haven't started it yet! I'm still waiting for the hard copy of my book to arrive :(
