Books, Books Everywhere!

I enjoy a good book. Especially one that's free to me or that is inexpensive to obtain.

Recently, I stumbled upon Paperback Swap and Book Mooch (the later recommended by a friend). And I'm quite happy about it all. It gives me the chance to get rid of books I dont want/need anymore.

That is all for now.

Online Discounts

Ok. I know I like getting a good deal on things, and I'm sure other people do too.

I have found a couple good online things that get you discounts on things.

One place that has recently piqued my interest is RetailMeNot.com. What it basically does, is that it has you enter the website you want to purchase something from (like Amazon.com , JCPenny.com, Target.com, or any other retail website). Then, it shows you all the coupons/discounts that the website has (sometimes, if the website has an actual physical store - Target, JC Penny, Lane Bryant, etc - RetailMeNot.com may have a printable coupon for you too).

Sometimes, if it's just free shipping, it can be a good thing too. Shipping for somethings can be a bit pr icy for one reason or another. FreeShippingOn.com and FreeShipping.org may be good sites to check out too. Though RetailMeNot.com should have most of your coupon codes for you (shipping and other misc discounts).

I Want To Break Free.....

I would say this has been a reoccurring theme/message for me lately.

Just break free.

Break down the wall I have built around myself. Though some people might think I'm pretty free already - fair amount of time, just a misdirection on my part.

All You Need is Love(ll)

I love free concerts. Especially if the group(s) are in vein of my interests. Part of the reason I love the DC area, all the free stuff that goes on in and around a major metropolis city.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing The Lovell Sisters at a venue just outside of DC, free of charge (their MySpace page).

Quite frankly, I was highly impressed by their music and voices coming from 3 people so young! They play a blend of Folk Rock, Acoustic, and Country.

Here's a little YouTube.com video that shows how good these three girls are:
