Cookbook Launch Day - If you claim you’re a master chef, why haven’t you launched your own cookbook yet? Churches, schools, businesses, community centers, including television show actors compile a list of everyone’s donated recipes, launch a cookbook and raise money for charities. I think this is such a great idea! Do-it-yourself jobs are tons of fun and can really inspire you do to great things in life. For some people I know, a simple hobby turned into their career. Now, back to the real matter at hand here. If you or someone you know is moving away from home and you won’t be able to indulge in the luxury of home-cooked meals, then maybe it’s about time you asked someone to prepare you your very own cookbook filled with recipes and dishes you love. This is a great idea to give to a friend who is getting married and doesn’t have a clue about cooking. Or give it to a guy you know who eats out way too much for his own good.

Dream in the Park at High Park (Now Until August 31)

It’s Shakespeare the way it was meant to be seen - in the open air, but with a new twist to it. Take in a hip-hop version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and experience this classic in a whole new way.

See other modern remakes of The Bard’s works, including films like O and Ethan Hawke’s Hamlet from 2000. Rent them both from Blockbuster, along with thousands of other titles. Get $10 off your first month at Blockbuster Total Access with Blockbuster coupons!

Video Games Day - This industry has broken so many record sales that by now, it’s hard to keep track. I was never really into video games, yet it’s virtually impossible to escape the hype and craze built up around games like Guitar Hero, Grand Theft Auto and Dance Dance Revolution! Whatever happened to games like Super Mario Bros.? I LOVE Mario and Luigi! I guess you can say I’m a fan of 90’s video games rather than the video games from this era. You can stay current with all the latest and greatest up to date video games and systems at Target. Put your kids’ cries to rest by finally getting them Nintendo Wii and save $5 on orders of $50 or more on discount video games using Target coupons! 

Savor the Comic, Unplug the Drama Day - Shakespeare was way ahead of his time when he wrote: ”All the world’s a stage, and all the women and men are merely players.” Yet, I still get the feeling that this holiday was inspired by a rerun of a Jerry Springer Show. Be that as it may, you have full permission to walk right up to the drama queen in your circle of friends and tell her to unplug it, just for a day…come on! Get the girlfriends or buddies together today and rent some side-splitting comedies from Blockbuster. It’s a great way to blow off steam and relieve built-up tension. And, the laughs can continue on all night long when you use Blockbuster coupons where you can get $10 off comedy rentals for the first month!
