Grand Opening of Our Ebay Store

Today Harry and I opened our very own Ebay store. I have been selling stuff here and there on Ebay the past few years but a few days ago it hit me that Harry and I should open an Ebay store. It doesn't cost much and I have a ton of collectible stuff that I would like to sell. Along with selling my stuff we are hoping to buy wholesale products and sell them on Ebay also. This is a perfect job for Harry to do at home. He can manage the store a few hours a day. We hope this really takes off and we can make a nice profit. We plan on doing it for six months and see where we stand at the end of the six months. Wish us luck. Check out the store here. http://stores.ebay.com/Federation-Outpost

Stardust

I finally got to see this movie. I have been wanting to see this since I saw the previews a few months ago and I was not disappointed. What a great flick, fun characters, cool sfx and a very sweet story. I'm sad to see that it's not doing so well at the box office, which is a shame. It's so tough for a fantasy film to hit it big unless it's part of a phenomenon, ie Harry Potter. Maybe it will find success on DVD. I know I'll be buying me a copy.

Here's a synopsis:

A young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox) tries to win the heart of Victoria (Sienna Miller), the beautiful but cold object of his desire, by going on a quest to retrieve a fallen star. His journey takes him to a mysterious and forbidden land beyond the walls of his village. On his odyssey, Tristan finds the star, which has transformed into a striking girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes). However, Tristan is not the only one seeking the star. A king's (Peter O'Toole) four living sons - not to mention the ghosts of their three dead brothers - all need the star as they vie for the throne. Tristan must also overcome the evil witch, Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again. As Tristan battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate named Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named Ferdy the Fence (Ricky Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He must now win the heart of the star for himself as he discovers the meaning of true love.
