Pop Art lesson

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

 Last weekend, I saw the Andy Warhol exhibit in San Francisco at the De Young museum. It was incredible to say the least. I was astonished by the pieces that he created as well as the influence he had on the music and art scene at the time. It was fun to go with my Mom because she already had a vast knowledge of his pieces and philosophy. Unfortunately, I was in a different position.

Although she explained his pieces and ideas as throughly as she could, I felt that I needed to do some research on my own. I ended up renting a few films on him but was unable to find “Superstar: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol”. Fortunately, I found it online available through Borders.com. I used this Borders Discount and received free shipping on the DVD.I am excited for the DVD’s arrival so that I continue to find out more interesting information about this talented artist.

College Years

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

College books. The only thing dreaded about starting a new college semester. For the past three years, I have been buying my books at the University book store; no discounts, sales, or deals. Is it just me or are you mad about this as well?

I recently registered for a Business Law class and the cost of the textbook was $150 in the college book store. Luckily, this semester I was smarter and did some online research prior to my purchase of the Law textbook. My boss recommended I check out Borders.com. He said they had some borders codes deals going on so I decided to take him up on it.

I found a coupon for blank off, blank off, and blank off. They can all be found here. Along with my code, I got free shipping because my order was over $25. Borders is definitely making college more affordable. Check it out yourself and educate yourself in deal saving! ha
