Need a few quick bucks? Download an app called Observa. Observa is where you take pictures of signs or other things of the sort to make sure companies are displaying certain products properly. I had never even heard of it before until randomly downloading it while looking for gig apps, but it is legit and they did pay me (via Paypal). The verification took maybe 6 hours or so, but I received payment on the same day. When I did my first gig with this app, I was able to pull up a list of opportunities, which wasn’t bad to scroll through. It told me the address and how much I’d make, as well as the estimated time it would take to finish the gig and I decided to give it a try. I drove 10min from my apartment to a cigar shop to take some pictures of Zippo lighters and its display. First, I wanted to talk to the managers to make sure I wasn’t being a weirdo and to see if it was ok to take pictures of stuff in the store. Luckily that particular place was extremely friendly, but some places may not be (it warns you in the tutorial video). I was able to watch a tutorial video to show me what to do before going into the store without having used this app at all. There was also clear directions on what to do and take pictures of in the store so I wouldn’t run into any problems. I would recommend accepting an opportunity if you’re going to do it right away. I wish there were more opportunities near my apartment, but this is something I wouldn’t recommend driving super far away to do because they won’t reimburse you on gas. If you want to make a lot of money, this isn’t the app for you, but if you need a few quick bucks or are bored and want to make some money, Observa is the app for you. Most gigs pay you in the 7 dollar range and they take about 15 or so minutes to complete. You need at least 4 dollars to be able to cash out. Enjoy!

Stargaze
I found this sitting in my emails when looking for something else! Whoops! This is 4 years old, but still provides awesomeness. Enjoy!
Go take a look at the road
To see what on earth is going on ahead of you
It's so new like never before
With the innovation at its finest
While showing all of your true power
Please don't go
Into the path
Known as conformity
And don't fall asleep within your own mind
Just take a look at what's inside
That's just the way you will thrive!
(small guitar interlude)
Never ignore
The thoughts within your heart
From the start
They're all yours
Like the pride within a lion's golden mane
Go journey on the forbidden road
Display all the joy in the world
Climb up that incline
That's as steep as a mountain
The finish line is right there in front of you
Just sprint across that line
It's so divine
You will be fine!
(another small guitar interlude)
Take a look around you
And smell those flowers
They're right there in front of your face
Because you're able to stargaze
The empty sky is yours to design
Don't fill your canvas with cloudy days
Your goal is there, it is there, it is really right there
Don't let it slip away
Or flutter on past you
Into the abyss
Go ahead and strike a pose
And never be afraid to stargaze!
Shout your heart out
Towards the sun and the stars
Try not to let the wind go into your head
It will cloud you like a tornado
Just step in time and keep a clear mind
Stress is like a vampire
That's ready to eat you alive
It will infest through your veins
Provoking panic and fear
While tears of sorrow drip down your face
(filled with fear)
Hold on…
Stop right there and stay dead in your tracks
It is the man who's here to douse you with some ease!
So chill
While trying to lack insanity
You need to fight on all those goddamn fears
And don't freeze in tears
Now try to go ahead and stand tall
Just live for the moment and stay alive!
(another small guitar interlude wheeeee!)
Take a look around you
And smell those flowers
They're right there in front of your face
Because you're able to stargaze
The empty sky is yours to design
Don't fill your canvas with cloudy days
Your goal is there, it is there, it is really right there
Don't let it slip away
Or flutter on past you
Into the abyss
Go ahead and strike a pose
And never be afraid to stargaze!
Take a breath around here!
Look at what's all around you!
Instead of mindlessly leaving
You need to go and start moving!
And hopefully not envision any negativity
So be strong!
To enable yourself to live life to all its fullest
Just don't break down
Your goal is there, it is there, it is really right there
Chase it with everything you've got within your heart
Stand tall
Be yourself
And you better not be afraid to stargaze!
Squid and Mussels with Pasta and Garlic Tomato Curry Sauce Recipe
Spices and Sauce Ingredients
¼ tsp garlic salt
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp stone ground mustard
1 tbsp yellow mustard
5 cloves garlic
½ cup coconut milk (make sure to stir it) – this can be found in the ethnic aisle at Jewel or shopping market in a can
¼ cup red onion
½ cup yellow grape tomatoes
2 whole red roma tomatoes
1 green serrano pepper
Additional Ingredients
½ lb squid (calamari)
½ lb mussels
1 tbsp yellow mustard seeds (hold until the end)
2 cups fresh spinach (hold until the end)
½ box whole wheat pasta
2 tbsp olive oil (1 tbsp for cooking the fish and 1 tbsp for cooking everything together at the end)
Directions
Place the spices and sauce ingredients into a blender and blend for about 10 seconds or until sauce is not lumpy. Hold onto the sauce.
Cook the pasta separately on another burner for about 10-15 min until it’s al dente and strain. Hold onto the pasta.
Place the squid in a pan at medium/high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Do not add the mussels yet. When the squid starts turning golden brown, add the mussels with the squid and cook them for about 5 minutes or until ready. If you’re using frozen fish, make sure to strain after it’s cooked (or strain if necessary).
After straining the fish (if necessary), add another tbsp of olive oil to the pan you used for the fish re-add the strained fish to the pan. Next, add the cooked pasta, spinach, mustard seeds, and sauce on medium heat for about 5 minutes for the sauce to soak in with the rest of the ingredients.
Keep stirring and enjoy! This course serves about 6. Total time to cook and prepare is about 30 minutes!
