Normally those types of things I avoid. I am not everyone. However, I do love Disney World and the glossy brochure won me over.

I´m a total sucker for historical mysteries and have read my way through the Brother Cafael and the Sister Freivisse series.

After 2 years teaching in Korea and four vacations, all international, I hung around a lot waiting for flights, for immigration, for bags, for buses. In fact, I even stumbled across a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~439883959940 Mon, 4 Aug 2008 14:29:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_439883959940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_439883239044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Darkmistress - Last night I finished reading Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was one of the forerunners of the Chick Lit craze and, while I had been curious to see what all the fuss was about, I wasn't curious enough to bump it to the top of my list. Well, here I am in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~439883239044 Mon, 4 Aug 2008 14:23:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_439883239044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_439882518148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Darkmistress - After foiling the attempt of our former employer to have us arrested for over staying our visas in Chile, a friend of ours took us to the Holiday Inn Express in Concepcion while we tried to decide if we wanted to stay in South America.

The writing style isn't utterly memorable, but the idea! It's the kind of book where you get to the end and you're shouting “Oh my God! You're kidding!” but it all fits together. And then you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~439612968580 Sat, 2 Aug 2008 14:57:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_439612968580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_439612640900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Darkmistress - I came to Concepcion, Chile for a job. I was warned before I got there and immediately after I arrived that there wasn't much to do. Over time, I discovered that to be absolutely true.

A buddy movie about an accidental gay cruise? Puleeeese. Well, my usual fare was disrupted by the offerings on Chilean cable. Surprisingly, Chilean cable makes Korean cable look varied and interesting by comparison... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~439611854468 Sat, 2 Aug 2008 14:47:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_439611854468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_439611526788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Darkmistress - Thanks to the fact that everyone we know has to have a cat and my husband is highly allergic, we ended up spending 9 days at the Best Western in the Montrose area of Akron.

While they often weren't technically sci fi, they did speak to the human condition and that is what good fiction is supposed to do. Besides, how many times can you do a show about... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410157354628 Sun, 9 Dec 2007 10:04:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410157354628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410155454084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Darkmistress - I have green stuff on my face.

My husband and I hail from near Cleveland. Ipso facto, we have to fly Continental all too often. Okay, to be honest, twice is too often. I'm pretty sure that somewhere in their employee breakroom, probably near the door,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~409915788932 Fri, 7 Dec 2007 09:24:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_409915788932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_409912381060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Darkmistress - I've flown more in the past 2 years that the rest of my family combined has in their lives. Okay so my Mom doesn't fly if there's a connection involved, my sister has no passport and my brother's passport is expired. Still.

The school I teach at here in Seoul is rather wealthy. At over $14,000 a year for a preschool, it has to be. In March, right at the beginning of the school year is Teacher's Day and traditionally the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~409123458692 Sun, 2 Dec 2007 10:24:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_409123458692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_387668938372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Darkmistress - By the time Bon Jovi’s third album appeared, the band had matured as songwriters and musicians and had identified a serious hole in the rock market.
