What I Like Best About This Course and Golf In General

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 21:49:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - Not being an avid golfer myself, I always find it fun to stop by the golf course and watch those crazy men and women in those funny clothes chase a little white ball around a huge area of immense proportions. In fact, I have more fun watching the game...

Struck by Lightning

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 20:59:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - The Buell Lightning X1 is a hot looking bike. It's the daddy of the Buell Blast and is much more visually appealing as well as being a higher performance bike. Not being an expert in the stats about Buells, I am relying on the visual impression I get...

Buell Blast is a Gas Minus the Chrome

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 20:29:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - The Buell Blast 2000 is a sporty and fast bike--good for beginners and those folks who like to add a little pedal to the metal. Personally, I don't find the Buell very appealing in the glamour department. It doesn't possess the shiny and chrome-laden...

Survival of the Soul

Sun, 10 Sep 2000 17:53:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - I read this book while suffering through one of my latest episodes of depression (in which I curl up on the couch, take the phone off the hook and read, read, read). I read so much that I could hardly fathom just what it was I was reading. One minute,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - Last week, I traded in my Pontiac Grand Am SE for its sister, the GT version, which boasts a speedometer of up to 150 mph. This really appeals to the child in me which is always ready to be the first off the starting line at every green light. This...

Bienvenidos a Albuquerque!

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 12:52:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - When you first arrive in Albuquerque, you will notice a variety of Spanish street names, restaurants, and cities--but don't let that scare you. Your first Spanish lesson will be that vowels in Spanish keep the same sound in any word--"a" is...

A Guitar for a Serious Musician: Ovation Ltd. Edition Custom

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 21:58:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - This guitar is one the best I've played. The sound board has a resonance beyond belief and the dual plug ins allow you to play in mono or stereophonic sound. The fret action is low enough to allow faster finger/fret board movement for those players who...

Sun, 23 Jul 2000 23:03:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - For a really great opinion of this flick, consult the experts like "ishtarskye" or "Brundledan" who give superb accounts of the twists and turns of this movie. According to their accounts, this movie would be better to pick up on...

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 20:26:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - When I first heard Lara Fabian's hit single, "I Will Love Again," I knew it was a hit along the lines of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." It can become the mantra for the broken hearted everywhere, with its powerful vocals by Lara...

Sun, 18 Jun 2000 14:18:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - The book title grabbed me because I'm currently dating a "commitmentphobic" person. That word sounds ominous, but in reality,

many of us have a fear of commitment, whether it is due to some

real or perceived hurt or rejection we have...

Archived Autos & Motorsports Reviews: Honda VLX 600:Great Bike for the Money

Tue, 13 Jun 2000 18:41:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - My Honda Shadow VLX 600 almost outshines my 883 Harley Sportster (which has since gone back to the shop.) It's a smooth little two-tone job, red and white, and although the engine is only a 600cc, it packs a punch on the highway as well as the streets...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - "Letting Go" of that dream, that relationship, that job, that goal, that desire, has to be the hardest lesson that I have yet to learn about loving and living. When everything in me screams to just hang on a little longer, the correct choice...

Sun, 21 May 2000 18:24:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - The title grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go. I am a sucker for tragedy, because to me, that is the highest praise to life which is full of tragic-comic moments. The author, Elizabeth Kim tells a tale of woeful loss and abandonment in her...

Sun, 21 May 2000 17:39:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - This show is the shiznitz! I mean, it is really cool the way Regis (and personally, I was never a big fan of his) makes the people in the hot seat sweat while he asks them, "is that your final answer?" I mean talk about drama! This show...

Battlefield:John Travolta's Hair

Sun, 21 May 2000 17:11:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - This movie was misnamed. It should have been called "Battlefield--John Travolta's Hair" I thought my hair looked bad, but this "do" takes the cake. Or should I say snake, because that is what his hair looks like--a Medusa wannabe...

Fri, 19 May 2000 18:06:35 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - A couple of weeks ago, I applied for a $2,000 loan to purchase a 1997 Kawasaki motorcycle.

Daybreak:A New Day In The Life Of A Survivor

Fri, 12 May 2000 16:26:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - Daybreak. The title suggests that there is sunlight at the end of the dark tunnel many of us find ourselves in from time to time. For victims of child sexual abuse, the darkness seems to surround us a little more, clouding our vision, making us believe...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - I'm no movie expert like some folks here, but I know what I like and what moves me, and this movie just doesn't float. I was disappointed, especially after reading rave reviews by fellow epinion writers as well as consulting "Entertainment...

Love Planets:An Attempt To Find Love Written in the Stars

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 15:22:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aphrodite_ - Love Planets is structurally okay, overall, but lacks in certain areas. For example, while the profiles of each planetary influence in our natal charts is well written and sound, the "Astroplay" section in the back is superficially silly and...
