My first real grown-up car!

Sun, 28 Jul 2002 01:15:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - This car is my third Volvo, so that should tell you something about Volvos - people who buy one usually continue to buy them, and there's good reason why.

My first Volvo, a 79 station wagon that my parents bought me in college, was totaled in...

Nokia 3390: The little guy's tryin', but it doesn't quite measure up

Thu, 20 Dec 2001 03:42:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - Hoo boy. I have been through SO MANY cell phones in the last three years, Nokia owes me some sort of frequent-buyer discount.

First I traded my old Mitsubishi phone in for the 5190 (See my review, "If it costs nothing, it must be worth the...

Why I am no longer a Mindspring/Earthlink customer

Sat, 8 Sep 2001 00:35:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - When I signed on as a Mindspring customer three years ago, they were still Mindspring and not yet bought out by Earthlink. They were new and the radio ads I heard were offering free set-up and I, having just moved to the Bay Area and looking for a new...

He acts like his sh** don't stink

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 17:15:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - My cat Tanner has the ability to clear out an apartment with a single bowel movement. I mean, that cat stinks. He is infamous amongst my friends for what comes out of his rear, and although I love him, I have to live with him. I was actually a tad...

Racism, Sexism, Manifest Destiny: Disney does it again

Tue, 3 Jul 2001 04:25:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - General comments:

The thing about Atlantis that caught me right off the bat was that the jokes just were not funny. This led me to believe that it was geared towards younger children, and not adults. This thought would later come back to...

This is what Bono meant...

Thu, 14 Jun 2001 22:33:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - I went to Ireland last summer (August 2000) and stayed most of the time in or around Dublin. When I wasn't staying with my native friends, which I found was the best way to really experience the culture, I was staying in Temple Bar at a hostel. If you...

Finally, a positive account

Sat, 9 Jun 2001 04:54:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - Let me begin with saying that I could not think of an appropriate title for an epinion on a book about such a topic. So I chose to go with how I would describe the book, summed up in a nutshell. Self-mutilation is a topic that scares, repulses and...

WARNING: adult content

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 05:17:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - Alright, you read the title, and I'm saying it again: this opinion contains sexual content.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, let me tell you why I bought this personal massager. While it can certainly...

Caution! Handle with care!

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 01:52:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - As I write this, I try to supress my gag reflex...never again, my friends, can I drink Jaegermeister. I must warn you that its distinct cough medicine flavor, while making it somewhat more palatable than te-kill-ya, will make for a much stronger and...

Yikes!

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 23:43:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - "Ryanair is only 50 pounds to fly over here" my Irish friend told me when I said I'd be flying into London and needed to get over to Ireland. Okay, so I figured once I got there, I'd rest for a day and then book my flight to Dublin.

Well...

Pembroke Welsh Corgis: cute doggies

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 23:27:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - I have read "The Complete Pembroke Welsh Corgi," which this book starts off by distinguishing itself from, and I have read the more generic "Pembroke Welsh Corgis" book by TFH. I found that this book lies right in the middle, and is a good introduction...

The one Epinion that no one will ever read

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 23:29:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - Honestly, I looked up the title as kind of a joke, but hey! There it was! This book sits on my desk next to me as I procrastinate doing a Rorschach write-up that is a month and a half overdue, but in no way the fault of the book.

For the one...

My new favorite toy!

Mon, 19 Feb 2001 05:35:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - I have been wanting a laptop for about a year, and finally I gave in to myself. I justified the expense with the huge project of my dissertation that I am now undertaking, and I'm glad I did.

First of all, it didn't cost too much at all. I...

For the VERY finicky owner

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 19:29:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - This is an interesting book, because on the one hand, I loved it, and on the other, I just couldn't buy into it entirely.

Let me explain:

Reading this book certainly made me a more finicky cat owner. Once you read about the ingredients...

"Oh, I'm just a little kitten..."

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 19:19:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - WARNING! This review reveals plot details! Ha-ha.

The "little kitten" in the title is the fellow that's left in the end of this charming classic story, after millions of cats eat up the countryside and drink a lake dry.

As...

Tanner tears it up!

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 06:37:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - Let me start by saying that my cat refused to use a post for a long, long time.

I used my cat as an experiment in behavior modification for a class I was taking on animal learning, because he was having a problem scratching my roommate's...

If it costs nothing, it must be worth about the same...

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 03:13:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - I've been a Pacific Bell Wireless customer for two and a half years. When I signed on, I got a free Mitsubishi phone - something obscure and no longer available - and I was happy with it for a long time.

After two years, it was starting to...

Plain baking soda is a better idea

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 00:55:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - Realistically, I think that it makes much more sense to buy plain ol' baking soda than this product. That is because Arm and Hammer "Cat Litter Deodorizer" IS baking soda, just repackaged as a fancy cat litter product so they can charge you twice as...

ERADICATES fleas!

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 23:40:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - Besides having cute commercials on TV (the singing cats and dogs), this product should be a favorite for pet owners because it actually WORKS. How many flea killers have you wasted your money on that really don't do the trick? Advantage not only made...

Please Play This CD on Your Stereo...

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 23:32:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - I think this is my favorite NOFX album, although it's hard to pick just one as "the" favorite. NOFX has a history (and a future) in obnoxious lyrics, whiny vocals and quirky musical arrangements. Not many punk bands do such a great job of...

It survived backpacking in Europe!

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 00:09:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - I bought this camera to take to Europe. Although I prefer my big Nikon FG-20 (dinosaur that it is) for good pictures, I wanted something compact and simple that would be both easy to carry and easy to load (trip to Europe is NO time for the film to not...

Blink 182: Blink 182 Tour 2000 - the Mark, Tom and Travis Show

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 02:42:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - After I saw them on the most recent tour, I gave up on them. I started listening to the Blink-182 in college, when they were a little more punk and a little less known, but even with the success of Enema of The State, I still liked them. And yeah, I...

Psychology at UCD is very research-oriented

Tue, 10 Oct 2000 20:53:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - I studied psychology without having a definite idea of what I wanted to do with it in the future, and thought it was a pretty good department. I had some really good professors in both the psych department and the Human Development department (my minor)...

A Brilliant Career

Tue, 10 Oct 2000 17:49:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - This was the first Belle and Sebastian album I bought, and since then I've bought everything they have put out, including a great bootleg I picked up in Ireland. I highly recommend this as an introduction to the band, and an essential for any...
