SlinkTV

In my never-ending quest to bring you the latest and greatest video segments on the internet, I present to you 80's Super-Group DeBarge teaching Punky Brewster how to read!!!

The video starts automatically, so make sure your speakers aren't cranked up to 11 (I took that line directly from the site that hosts the video). Depending on your browser settings, you might have to scroll down a bit to see the video.

Enjoy!

Olde timee lunch

What does Captain Slinky have for lunch today?

BLACK LICCORICE AND CORN

It just sounded good. Not all mixed together or anything sick like that... just a big bowl of whole-kernal corn for lunch, then a few ropes of black liccorice for snacks and such. But the more I think about it, the more it sounds like one of my Grandpa's rambling stories about The Good Old Days...

Back in my day, Mother would wake us up at 4 in the morning to send us off to work at the cannery. She'd pack us our regular lunch of black liccorice and corn, and we knew we had to make that food last us all day long. Then we'd work for 18 hours a day and they'd pay us a nickel a week!"

'Nother vow

If we're gonna ever move in to a house, I'm gonna need to make AT LEAST another $400 per month. If I were to devote just *one day* per week to listing stuff on Ebay, I could do that.

Having a kid is a terrible paradox. You need MORE money and have LESS time to make it in :(

Maybe devote one hour each night to listing on Ebay? That might do it, but I'd still need to set aside a day/time for packing of orders and shipping them out.

Unfortunately, I think my Ebay account is in ruins right now thanks to my sloth-like laziness. Kinda forgott o ship out the last three or four items that people bought from me. Oops!

SO! My new after-werk project is gonna be cleaning up my Ebay account, then listing stuff, then trying to get on a regular schedule of listing stuff for a secondary income!
