arggggggg ebay

i'm trying to sell some (well quite a lot) of things on ebay right now. i haven't sold anything on ebay since last summer and there have been a lot changes to it.

the first thing i was trying to sell was a game for xbox 360. on ebay you can enter the UPC code and it will automatically dispaly a picture of the game and describe the game for you. i look at the game and where the UPC code should be, there isn't anything. there's a square that says not for resale!!! really??!! is this game case trying to tell me that i can't sell it? well i paid for it so i'm going to do whatever i want with it so i'm GOING TO SELL IT!!! that was annoying.

next ebay added a gazillion options to it. usually i put a picture up and then describe it. then i'll estimate the shipping and post it. that's it. i put in the shipping and it told my i couldn't charge a over a certain amount for that item. dumb. then i tried their shipping wizard and it wants to know how its package, dimensions, and all that stuff. well i haven't packaged it so i don't know. so basically i have to get everything packaged and ask the post office how much it will cost for me to ship it. again, annoying.

there's just so many options on ebay, and i just skip over most of them.

also, reggie miller is really bad at doing commercials.

oh that made me just think of my first poll!

spring is that you?

i'm glad to see that spring has finally arrived. for me that means one thing. golf. well i don't play that much but i like to play. also i work at a golf course so that's nice. i get to golf for free and if you golf with me it's only 4o bucks, which is over 50% off.

this past weekend i moved into my new place for the summer. i move into a house with some cool bros i know (that's for you dave). The house is nice and i filled up my room quite easily. my mom and sister came this weekend to help. that was awesome because it made moving in so much easier. we packed up my stuff on friday from my dorm and loaded almost all of into two cars. we dropped that stuff off that evening in the place i'm living in now. we went out to eat after that at the lodge, which was fun. my sister and i dropped off my mom since she'd been up since 4am and went out for a little while. we went to the new bar in mandan called the drink. they tried to make it an upscale bar, but it's not a place i would go to with my friends. after, we went to applebees near the hotel and had a couple more drinks and some food. good times with my sister.

next morning we had a lot to do. yesterday we rented a truck from uhual to move my bed and couch and that we donated to the dakota boys ranch. we went out to mary to pack the few other things i had left in my room and i then checked out. next we went to my storage unit and pack everything else that was in there. we went to my new place and unpacked my bed and a few other things. we had a few things to drop off at dakota boys ranch, like a massive 3 piece L-shaped couch that has a hide-a-bed in it. i'm so glad i got rid of that thing. we ate lunch at kroll's diner. we went back to my house to unpack the rest of my stuff. it was nice having my sister and mother there cause they were a lot of help. my sister mostly did the arranging of my room and my mom did some cleaning. we were actually able to get me fully moved in and unpacked in just one day which is really impressive i think. thanks to my mom and sister for all help! i appreciated it a lot!

today i had to work at hawktree. i worked from 8 - 2 and today was really busy. it was a perfect day to golf since there was very little wind. i wish i could have golfed today. while i was there i was able to setup a twitter account for hawktree. follow HawktreeGC for updates on specials, and also the weather conditions for golfing that day. i'm gonna try to update that as much as possible. after work i went home and took a nap and then i had to go to the news station to do Marauders Weekly with Bill Halter. It went pretty well so be sure to check it out. i'm not sure what the website is that you can watch it but i'll make sure to post it later.

other notes - i bought a wireless card for my computer since i'm not near the wireless router and can't just connect a cord to it. also my xbox 360 got the red ring of death for the third time today. i'm not happy about that. i'm still deciding what i'm gonna do about that.

Thanks again to my mom and sister.
