It's more afraid of you, than you are of it

Sun, 4 Feb 2001 04:47:46 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Kirsti - When I was a kid, my mother used to fry up French fried potatoes in a pot of oil on the stove. Now that I have my own apartment, I hoped to do them myself. I am rather frightened of being burned (ovens, fire, hot oil, etceteras), so when I saw an ad on...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kirsti - I had a bad area of cat odor on my living area rug, spanning about 4x4 feet. This spot caused my entire apartment to smell awful (which I think is needless to say). I tried everything; chemicals, shampooing, cleaning, dish soap, all the sprays,...

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 21:57:13 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Kirsti - I was browsing the web one day when I saw this cute little, yellow smiling face. Next to the smiling bit o’ sunshine was the word "depressed". I thought this a bit odd, and it was probably for that reason only, that I clicked the puzzling...

Bonzi Buddy: A royal pain in the circuits

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 01:35:24 GMT
rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Kirsti - At first I thought the Bonzi Buddy was cute. It is a small, purple monkey that stands around on your screen, occasionally offering a random joke or bit of trivia. He talks, and if you feel the need, you can make him say whatever you wish. His...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Kirsti - As a long time Silence of the Lambs fan, I was eager to get my hands on the new sequel, Hannibal. However, as with the tradition of sequels not coming close to the original, I was weary about the quality of the book.

The book...

Wed, 31 May 2000 20:40:00 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kirsti - The food: When ever I have a craving for fried, fatty food, Jack in the Box is the place I go. It isn’t because they have great service (in fact, I don’t care for their service at all). It is because they make your order fresh when you...

The Palace: Flaky programming abounds!

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 07:28:28 GMT
rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Kirsti - The concept of The Palace is a good one. Instead of stale old chat, users are allowed to customize the look of their "user" with avatars. You can create your own, edit them or simply find ones that are already made. The program itself is...

One big bad influence.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Kirsti - Okay, so we have Bobby. A nice kid, a kid who behaves, does the right things and etcetera. Then, like a plague, his cousin Skeeter comes to stay with him. Not only is Skeeter a puppet (am I the only one who finds this a little disturbing?), but...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Kirsti - I'm sorry to have to tell you this, NetScape, but I have been secretly seeing Microsoft's Internet Explorer behind you back. I just cannot deal with your flakeyness. You lock up for no reason. You become inoperable, for no reason. You will take several...
