I just watched T.V. for about 30 minutes and then answered some questions about what I watched (Sports Center) and got paid $20 on a VISA card. Pretty cool huh?
Well I somehow found a flyer or advertisement about a month ago that said Watch TV. Get Paid. So I went to the website and signed up for it, not really expecting to hear from them. It turns out this research company is only 2 exits down from where I live and they do different studies each week. I was the first person to participate in the Sports Center survey. I'm pretty sure you have to live in the Austin area to do this though because they make you come to their research facility.
Anyways, they took me to a dark room with a tv in it and made me wear these glasses that had a camera lens thingy taking video of my eyeball to track where I was looking on the tv. They had to callibrate it at first and I messed up and moved around because i'm pretty fidgety especially when someone asks me to be still. I then watched some of the most boring sports news ever.
After I got my VISA I went to Game Stop and bought a Wii game for $30, but I only paid $1.61 because I traded in Spiderman (I just beat it) and got $10 for it!
I hope to do this again next week!
In other news, I have some friends that donate (sell) plasma twice a week and you can make around $200 a month doing that....but i'm way to scared to let anyone stick me with needles.
Me and Kim are going to a Missional Community group thingy tonight. We've been meaning to get involved with The Stone more than just going and playing on Sunday. So hopefully this group will have some nifty people in it that we can become friends with!
