Meh, there’s nothing to eat in the house. I yell! I’m saving money for Laota‘s birthday party, so it’s a crunch but it’ll be worth it to give her the only good birthday she’s ever had – even if it’s a bit on the poor and meager side.

Basically it’ll be a strawberry shortcake ice cream cake, cheap soda, and a fatty fatty dinner plus a few presents and Zoot Suit Riot by Cherry Poppin’ Daddies playing in the CD player. Try and have a better party than that, I dare you! lol

I’ve seen some neat stuff lately, been browsing a lot of bank and credit websites to find one I like and, while I’m not looking to switch to a new credit card, I really do have an interest in the cards over at Co-OperativeBank.co.uk – especially the Flat Rate Platinum, that boasts 11.9% APR on purchases and transfers among other neat things – my Capital One’s about the same rate, but I have uncommonly good credit because I never buy anything and I’m afraid of the CC company, lol.

They have a lot of appealing cards, like the Advantage which sports an uncommonly fabulous 0% fixed for six months and Affinity which donates money to charitable organization when you open your account, then donates again whenever you use your card – how freaking cool is that? I wish I lived close enough to Co-Operative Bank to open an account, lol.

I’m seriously considering putting together bento packs – with accessories, bags, chopsticks, ect included – and selling them here at Beautiful-Sin.net at special low prices just for my visitors, what do you all think?

If I do end up doing it, I’ll add my bento recipes to the site as well, I kind of want to spread the joy of packing bento lunch – and jesus that sounded fruity and gross, didn’t it? Lol, I even knew it was starting to sound that way and kept right on writing it, lol.

At any rate, I’ll take any suggestions to heart and see what I can’t come up with.

You know, I’ve always been only mildly interested in the stock market – yes, only mildly. The reason being that, to me, it seems like traditional investing may as well be flushing perfectly good money down the drain. I just don’t make enough to do that, so while the concept interests me, it’s always been more like gambling in Vegas in my opinion. This is because I don’t have the time or money I’d need to learn to invest wisely, and even if I did, I’d be pretty much on my own.

That’s why MyWallSt.net is such a cool idea. It’s a social-type network all about investing where you can make friends while you learn about the market and trade tips with other members. That’s such an original idea, and much less scary than traditional investing where you’re out there on your own completely – in fact, you’re basically betting against other investors, reading about stocks in the newspaper that are already hours to days old instead of being able to see the realtime stats or buy/sell in real time.

At MyWallSt.net you’re surrounded by potential friends who are happy to help and, most likely, just learning themselves so you don’t have this super competitive atmosphere. You should really check it out, you can create a profile like facebook or myspace, and make the kind of small contacts who’d be happy to help you take the guesswork out of picking stocks and lead to better investments – plus you get to test out, if you will, stock trading using real stocks and virtual money to get your investment sea legs. What an awesome idea, eh?
