I was sitting with a friend today for coffee in the Village and told him about my blog. His eyebrows raised in recognition and mentioned how his mom also enters contests and WINS like "All the time" (direct quote)...but he said it ruuuuul non-chanlantly like "Doesn't everybody??"...apparently she won an iPad juuuuuuust the other week. I want an iPad NOOOOOOOOOWWWW!
I got steamier than the milked being foamed by the barrista. I haven't won anything in month-skees (unless you count the 10 cents I got off my cup of joe at Caribou Coffee for guessing their question of the day..."What is the Earth's only natural satellite?"...answer below)
What is her secret I wondered? Does she spend all her waking hours entering? Or is she some kind of contest sorceress. Voodoo? Does she have psychic friends?
I had to let it go so I wouldn't go cray cray and just decided to calm down and be like..I don't know how she does it...which made me think of SJP's latest film with that very title.
Which is totes weird to think of La Parker, because actually Matthew Broderick was, like f'realz, sitting next to us at the coffee shop.
And the wheel goes round and round and round....
Answer: The moon

Day 249: Lurve and Learn (Sweeps Week Day 6)
2011 Total Earnings: $12,338
Some of these sweeps have you answer trivia questions or have you watch a commercial as apart of the entry process...it gets you to go to their websites so that you have a little bit more sense of their company/product. I am now all too well acquainted with the FUPAs of the KIA soul hamsters.
Ps: I'm totally impressed with the blah-zay attitude of the the naked extra in the background.
But sometimes from these games/nude commercials, you can actually learn some interesting trivia stuff that will come in handy maybe someday not really but possibly when you're trying to impress someone on a date, or say win Who Wants to Be a Millionaire . Vieiraaaa!!!....(still not fully recovered from the Millionaire blow...Day 240)
Here's what I learned from entering contests today.
The Maldives are off the coast of India
Today's Contest: Entering every last vacation sweepstakes on mother Earth-skees in a marathon like frenzy while observing how times a man needs 'to politely excuse himself' from having consumed an entire pot of coffee
Prize: A vacay

Here's what I learned from entering contests today.
Lake superior has 3 trillion gallons of water in it.
PS-Also realized it would also be a strong contender in a Mr. Burns look-a-like contest
The Maldives are off the coast of India
At first I thought Africa, then Italy, then then mayyyyybe a part of the Galapagos Islands???
After finding out, I just felt like an American who doesn't care, such as, about anything outside of this country, such as.
I also learned that I am developing a squinty crease from
staring at the computer for all these hours
staring at the computer for all these hours
But found out from a contest that you can calm that down with a little ice (aka, a botox home remedy). After doing that, I was restored to my regular self again.

Day 246: Free shit, better than no shit. Sweeps Week Day 4
2011 Total Earning: $12,338
Today's Contest: Finding a free vacay for the holidays
Prizes: Mostly trips to Vegas to see weird phenomena like Cage Wrestling, Calf roping and Katy Perry
How to Enter: On line submishes
http://contests.about.com/od/vacationsweepstakes/tp/topvacationsweepstakes.htm
In my ongoing effort to enter lots of sweepstakes each day and win a vacation, I entered sweeps for 47 thousand hours today. I ended up entering lots of vacation contests that I didn't really particularly want, but would go on them simply cuz they're free. Things like: going on a hunting trip (horrifying), watching Nascar (boring), or seeing Jay Leno do stand up (horrifying and boring).
But since these trips are free...BRAHHNG EHHHT. The value of something goes up exponentially when it costs nothing. I used to throw out weird shit on stage during shows and people went cray-cray paper for it. Halloween candy, buttons, condoms, whatevs. If you got it, they want it.
And forget about T-shirts. That's like the holy grail of unexpected free stuff. People feel like they have been touched by the hand of God if they get one. I worked a corporate event once using a Tshirt launcher from stage...it's like a rocket, except instead of shooting explosives, you shoot (nail people in the head with) Tshirts...it's totallyhilarious dangerous.
People scream and yell, and wave their hands up in the air to grab your attention in an effort to get these one sized fits all corporate Tshirts.
So you aim that gun straight for them. Aaaaaahhhnd FWUPT!! The overzealous event attendee is whacked in the head and momentarily stunned.
After quickly recovering from the blow, the prize winner is elated, waves her new crappy tshirt in the air, and then looks ready for something else entirely.

Day 245: Vacay, S'il Vous Plait...Sweeps Week Day 3
2011 Total Earnings: $12,338
Today's Contest: Eight hundred thousand vacation sweepstakes
Prize: Taking a vacay and not paying for anything (ie: Being a Kardashian)
How to Enter: Submit info. Pray.
Here are the best sites to visit to be able to enter multiple contests:
http://www.contestbee.com/sweepstakes-and-contests/travel-contests/
http://www.online-sweepstakes.com/directory/vacations-domestic/
http://contests.about.com/od/vacationsweepstakes/tp/topvacationsweepstakes.htm
I have spent the last 2 and a half hours entering all of the sweepstakes in known existence to win a vacation.
My ass feels like pancakes from sitting so long
I ended up learning some stuff by entering these contests.
Like...
Glock guns are made in Austria.
"The hiiiiiilllls are aliiiiive with the sound of gunshahhhhts"
Some practical advice: if you want to enter contests for any extended period of time in one sitting, you'll want to gear up with:
Coffee
Music
And an energizing snack...
For me, like Madge, that's Twizzlers
Although it seemed like this would feel like a regular 9 to 5'er experience at first, the monotony of filling out my information into tiny boxes again and again made my eyes hurt, my fingers cramp and made me begin to think I might be going totally bananas.
Kinda like when I joined the ladies' knitting circle at work and started to knit 1, purl 2 , kill myself 3.

Day 244: Carpal Diem (Cramping Hand Day)...Sweeps Week, Day 2
2011 Total Earnings: $12,338
Today's Contests: A Slew of Vacation Sweepstakes
Prize: A little trip-skees
How to enter: Links below
So I'm on day 2 of being SweeperMan (ie: A man who spends his time entering sweepstakes, and not going out into the real world and seeing real people) Keep this up... I turn into Gollum....and/or Tilda Swinton.
Entering a alot sweeps in a day is harrrrrrd.
You totally die of boredom from doing this (and probably get carpal tunnel syndrome from typing). I don't know how people do it for hours on end. I did it for like a solid hour.
I should explore getting a young intern....
One of the vacations I entered was for a hunting trip to Oklahoma sponsored by Red Man Moist Snuff...("Red man", slightly offensive, "Moist", I just threw up in my mouth).
RMMS is a chewing tobacco. Now, I don't judge (of course except when I do), because I was a smoker for a decade, so I understand the love hate relaysh with tuh-backs. I was of the Marlboro light persuasion....cigarettes for sorority girls.
The hunting trip would be high-larious to win as I'm mostly a pescetarian (pescetarian: noun: 1. a person who eats primarly fish. 2. an annoying new yorker)
If you don't win the vacation, you can also win a gun safe. Like a safe...for your guns.
Sure that might be effective to store them, but what about burglars and/or terrorists crawling into your house at night? That's why I would prefer winning the bedside shotgun rack.

She (me) is feeling a li'l overworked-skees from these last 243 days of contesting, and is in need of a vacation. So I focused my efforts on finding contests that are giving them away. Cuz if I'm in debt, then I probably shouldn't be planning likea two week trip through South East Asia including Cambodia,Vietnam and the beaches and cities of Thailand...not that I've been planning it for a month now.
Instead (as I resist clicking the Orbitz 'confirm flight' button) I've entered a bunch of vacation contests today to still get out of town, while still getting out of debt.

I don't know from a Dell. I wouldn't say that I'm a Mac snob, it's just that it's all that I've worked on since I've owned a computer. The few times that I have worked on a Dell, it's been like trying to do you know what with my other hand...semi-familar, but there are all sorts of new things to adjust to and you can't really get your business done.
In the interest of not being negative, I offer A-Dell that I know and love.
I love her voice
I love that she wears false eyelashes like my great aunt Mary Jane.
I love that she smokes (slash she should quit slash please don't).
I love that she talks like a pirate.
I also love this clip of her at the VMAs (I couldn't get a link of it up her because of VH1 proprietary rights). Note to self: add 'proprietary' to list of words I like

Wining this contest will get you some cash and some swag from Lugs.
I hadn't heard of Lugs before. It's a (Canadian, I think) company that makes bright colored travel gear targeted to ladies and highschool girls...slash gay homosexuals (it's like the Lifetime channel of luggage)
Though some of their stuff is cute, I was a little bewildered by some of the products on their site:
The bear head is actually one of their trade marks and is used in advertising.
They ran a video contest recently, and had a total of 6 submissions. The 1st prize winner won $500. Wish I had known about this video contest....cuz here's the winner...

Underwear? Diaper? ManSpanx? Noooo, it's a money belt for traveling. Or, in this instance, a place for strippers to keep one dollar bills |
 |
Cell phone bean bag chair...for when you're just kickin' it with your stoner cel phone. Puff puff give! |
 |
Lonely Bear Heads that turn into lonely blankets and lonely pillows for lonely women..... and gay homosexuals. |

Day 241: Well, that was awkward
2011 Total Earnings: $12,338
Today's Contest: Family and Party Games.com
Prize: $10,000
How to Enter: Come up with captions for awkward family photos
http://www.familyandpartygames.com/getloaded/
They've turned the phenomenon of Awkward Family Photos into a board game.
I am grateful for this age of digital cameras where you can easily delete any less than desirable pictures as soon as you see them on the screen. We all have our own awkward things which makes us want to delete pictures...a bad angle, a weird chin, an eleventh finger. I was alerted to my own awkward photo-ism when my friend pointed out that in pictures that I have 'big face'...mind you, not 'A big face'...but more like I suffer from some kind of chronic syndrome called 'big face'. Makes ya feel a little Mask-y.
Awkward moments that (thankfully) didn't get deleted .....

Day 240: Que Sera, Vieira
2011 Total Earnings: $12,338
Today's Contest: Who Wants to Be A Millionaire Audition
Prize: Becoming a Millionaire
How to Enter: http://dadt.com/millionaire/auditions/
"I can do that", I said as I watched the woman on Minute to Win It put pantyhose on her head attached to a baseball and knock over bottles. "I can totes do that slash prolly have done that in a drunken/high feat of hi-LAHHHR-ity or in an embarrassing animal exercise in thea-tah school."
Thus began my mission to find a game show to get on. The only one that films here in NYC is Who Wants to Be A Millionaire. After I double checked that it wasn't 2006, and they were still actually filming episodes, I signed up online and got an audition.
I approached the ABC building on 66th Street with a certain level of calm. It was an overcast, misty day and I have a history of good things happening under gloomy weather conditions. After grabbing a chewy granola bar from the new stand, I approached the 20 something production assistant dressed in black under an umbrella. "Are you the 5:45 group?" "Yeah for Millionaire?" "Yup, ID please. Wait at the back of the line". I was surprised he didn't whisk me to the front, bypassing the test and lead me straight to the show. Didn't he see the twinkle in my eye of confidence, or the aura around me that was sure to dazzle everyone I came in contact with today, culminating in a jovial, hilarious, easy-breezy japaneezy on air game show exchange with Meredith Veirra at her Millionaire kiosk, giving her pause and compelling her to ask"Just who are you??"
Apparently the production assistant didn't know I had Secreted the shit out of this moment and visualized the whole shuh-bang.
So it was back of the line for me with the other contestant hopefuls. Still beaming with certainty, I stood behind a lady in plaid with flip flops (ps-it's raining gurl) and a man who could place 3rd in a Nick Nolte look alike contest. Nolte III was also wearing a horrendous Hawaiian shirt. Between his offense to all fashion evah, and Ms. Under-prepareds footwear, my confidence grew.
We marched into the holding area and walked through a security station, complete with a walk through metal scanner. After finding our seats to take a test, The bright young test coordinators bellowed instructions on with an air of authority. They could smell our desperation. We reeked of it. My heart began to pound as we were told that we would have 10 minutes to answer 30 questions. The first test was for their regular trivia show. The second was for their "Movie" week. I had been studying and brushing up on all things cinema. My strategy was to go with my first instinct, or pick The French Connection if it's ever an option (it's won everything supposedly...I've never seen it).
We lifted our Number 2's and began. My heart continued to throb as I filled in the little boxes... very SAT-like.. to the myriad of multiple choice trivia questions. On the regular test I thought I did pretty well. I was at least sure I knew all the answers having to do with theater, art and music (newsflash: homosexual answers cultural questions correctly.) I would undoubtedly nail the test if they ever have a special Gay Homosexual week.
There was one that stumped me:
What was in Alexander the Great's casket with him?
It's either honey, yogurt, wine or olive oil (delicious options)
I've googled it now for a while...aka 8 minutes...and still can't find the answer...
"Your ten minutes is up! Pencils down". All of our tests had numbers and we would listen for those numbers to see if they were called. If you're number is called, you stand up and move immediately onto the interview section. It all felt very chorus line... "God I hope I get it...I Hope I get it."
I held my breath, worried that any additional noise in my head would prevent me from hearing them call my number. 203.
She called the first group of people who would move one step closer to a million, a new life and Vieira.
"94. 105. 214. 156. 63."
Mine wasn't called. Mine wasn't called. Mine wasn't called??
I could still make it on the movie group.
"76. 205. 332. 84."
The wave of disappointment and shame hit me hard. I hadn't felt this upset at an audition since that dance call for Damn Yankees where I ball-changed so hard I threw up.
I collected my busted umbrella and no-longer-relevant self description sheet where I had lied about having a dog named "Sandy" like from the movie Annie, and ran out of there.
I had totes already spent the money in my head, was living in Bali, and gotten a TV deal from my appearance with Vieirz.
And ya know who DID get to stay around?....Nick Nolte the third.
