rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author copernicus - Well, after a five-month absence, I've returned. And it's not to write about fascinating travel destinations or great roadtrips, either. Nope, the order of the world is being upturned as I embark upon the one great odyssey that has eluded me thus far...

Wed, 25 Feb 2004 12:19:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author copernicus - Well it's now a late hour/early hour depending on which way you look at it.

Mon, 10 Nov 2003 02:00:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author copernicus - Any movie which contains dragons as one of its main themes is basically guaranteed to put my bum in a seat somewhere – whether it be at the cinema or on the TV, if it has dragons, I’m going to watch it. Such folly led me to suicidal tendencies aft...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author copernicus - If there is one thing which will draw me to writing like a moth to flame, it is the mere thought of settling down and getting some constructive work done. So, in the face of mounting homework debt, I present to you an analysis of one of the more...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author copernicus - I’ve been away from here for quite a while, so if the following jumble of words and expressions turns out to be total and utter rubbish, don’t be surprised.
