Sturdy portable storage

Sat, 12 May 2007 02:31:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - I got my first flash drive about a year and a half ago. It was a 128 MB device I'd bought for the purpose of transporting my novel between home and work computers. (This was for National Novel Writing Month in 2005.) I'd found it to be quite handy for...

Hertz eases the pain

Sat, 12 May 2007 01:55:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - I've rented quite a few cars in my life. I've rented from Budget, but my experience with them led me to switch to Enterprise (long story short, they went from a place that rented to under-25-year-olds without an additional fee, to a place that rented...

Smooth sailing

Sat, 21 Apr 2007 21:08:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - Like many of today's youth, I'm not content to stay where I am for very long. What this translates to is three moves within three years (soon to be four, but I'll get to that). The first two were local and completed mostly by making numerous trips in...

Burt's Bees Lettuce Toner: A Cautionary Tale

Sun, 9 Jul 2006 04:56:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - Have you met my friend Burt? In case you haven't, he's a beekeeper with an organic bent. He offers organic health, beauty, and baby products that aren't tested on animals. Burt's Bees products are a back-to-nature alternative to the chemical-laden...

One state, two state, red state, blue state

Fri, 23 Jun 2006 19:44:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - America has entered a phase in its history when one's political leanings can be guessed by which 24-hour "news" network one watches more frequently. I don't say I agree with these kinds of broad generalizations, and I try not to make them. But there's no...

A new take on an old favorite

Mon, 5 Jun 2006 20:04:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - I feel like Burt and I are old friends. Ever since they put in the Burt's Bees display at the gift shop of the hospital where I work, I've probably spent nearly $100 on their products (thanks to the modern miracle of payroll deduction, that is). I...

U-Haul is fine, as long as someone else is paying

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 14:25:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - I've moved plenty in my life, although most of it was done before I was ten years old. I was lucky enough to stay in one place for a number of years. My sister and I moved into an apartment last summer, but our resources were limited and our know-how,...

Not bad for a starter

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 11:45:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - Sometimes I'm decisive as all get-out. I see something, I get it, and if it sucks, I deal with the consequences. However, when it comes to larger purchases like an mp3 player, I try to avoid being impulsive. I try to do my homework. I decided to join...

Rock & roll can save the world

Mon, 19 Jul 2004 19:39:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - I've been to Memphis, the birthplace of rock & roll. From what I've seen, it's more interested in its own bottom line, selling Elvis souvenirs to tourists like myself. But oh, to have lived in an era when rock meant something else entirely... when it...

Tastes like cotton candy, and that's not even the best part

Sun, 29 Jul 2001 16:46:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - It's impossible to miss those ubiquitous late-night infomercials for Aussie Nad's, which is another method of hair removal in an already-saturated market. Some popular ways to get rid of unwanted hair include:

Shaving. Everyone knows...

The lost essence of music

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 22:27:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - My fellow Americans (and unfortunate Canadians who have to watch our self-serving crappy television networks)...why are we so obsessed with the concept of music on television?

What a ridiculous question. We tune in to music channels...

Unnatural and Miserable: As Dr. Money Made Him

Sat, 14 Jul 2001 20:55:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - If the sex reassignment of "Brenda" Reimer had been successful, would the book have been titled, "As Nurture Made Him"?

Whether you're an M.D. or a bus driver, you may have wondered at some point in time, "What makes me the way I am?" The...

candies: My love affair with hard candy

Sat, 23 Jun 2001 13:01:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - I am a patient person. I don't get riled easily, I tend to sit and think about a situation from all sides before I jump the gun, and I like Jolly Ranchers.

And Life Savers, Starburst Hard Candies, Nips, Werther's Originals, Starlight Mints,...

Employment: I Hate My Job: A Compendium of Gripes

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 13:45:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - Wow. I never thought I would get a chance to spout off on Epinions about how much I hate my job. I mean, I guess I'm no different than any other working stiff in America who has to get out of bed every morning and trudge to work. Any workplace has its...

Next time, we're goin' to Denny's...

Tue, 5 Jun 2001 15:39:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - There's a Waffle House in the Fast Food Strip in my town, but I'd never been there, nor had the desire to. When I was in high school, it was reputedly the place to go when you were stoned at three a.m. and looking for cheap, hot food, since...

Is it good? Really, really

Wed, 23 May 2001 13:09:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - Shrek is an excellent movie, for all it tries to be: a movie that kids will like but parents will find amusing too; a fairytale with a twist.

It tells the tale of an ogre, Shrek, who goes on a quest to get his nice, solitary swamp back...

::Yawn:: Think I'll sit this one out

Thu, 19 Apr 2001 14:19:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - I loved The Stand, but The Stand leaves a lot to be desired.

What I enjoyed was the book, Stephen King's 1100+ page tome which laid bare the undoing of modern society in every nation on our planet, through a simple human screwup...

"Washcloths" make a comeback! "Vanity cases" all the rage!

Sun, 15 Apr 2001 02:50:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - Seems everyone's getting into the craze: it started innocently enough with Biore and Pond's and their little "Silky Cleansing Towelettes" (although, interestingly enough, this product has been on the market for years, manufactured by Luvs, Huggies, and...

The twisted world of Dr. Lecter

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 12:40:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - I'm glad that I haven't yet seen Hannibal the movie yet, because I don't want this review to be a compare and contrast chart between the film and the print version. But since I just started reading this book last week, well after the hype machine...

Uninhibited, uncensored, unmarried. Unbelievably funny

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 12:36:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - I don't want to give away any major plot details, but I have to share this one: Bridget Jones's Diary is a chick flick (Although for some weird reason there were many middle-aged men in the theater. ?) I mean, there are a couple of moments that...

Confused and even more confused...where's the Reaper?

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 02:04:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - If you're going to watch a gory film, make sure you watch it in complete darkness. If you want the total scariness effect, have some stranger pull into your driveway and leave his headlights shining in your front windows for 10 minutes as you creep...

The rootin-est tootin-est kid's movie I've ever seen

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 14:16:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - Toy Story 2 is an amazing piece of work. It combines breathtaking graphics with a superb script, and it sidesteps the trap that most sequels fall into, namely, the "made solely to cash in on hype" movie (think Blair Witch 2 and...

Never Seen Lamer

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 04:25:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - Sometimes when I rent movies, I intentionally choose cheesy, lighthearted, bubblehead movies meant for teenagers. They are great at taking your mind off your problems because they give your brain a ninety-minute vacation.

If I had rented...

It's quiet, it washes dishes; what more could I ever want?

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 00:28:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - My mom recently bought a Whirlpool Quiet Wash Plus to replace our General Electric dishwasher. The old washer had, after only six months of normal use, completely crapped out on us. After one month, the spray jet worked itself loose and fell to the...

Diva-sized talent

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 17:59:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Danae2OOO - "I heard she sucks. She's just a rip-off of Alanis Morissette."

That's what my friend Laila said when I told her I bought Tidal, Fiona Apple's soulful debut CD.

Oh, I don't think so.

This CD is...
