Or, to put it another way, “who I can blame for convincing me to waste my time on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~489057390212 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:11:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_489057390212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_487299321476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - You know, I’m not getting any younger… and I guess all the care packages my dad has sent me over the years have finally sunk in, because I’m starting to think about taking vitamins.  Or rather (since studies have shown that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~487299321476 Mon, 5 Oct 2009 19:59:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_487299321476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_486894505604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - Fall has officially arrived in the Pacific Northwest, and given my Scroogey attitude toward spending money on heat, this means that my daily tea intake will increase roughly 1000%.  Suddenly I’m digging into the back of cupboards that have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~486894505604 Fri, 2 Oct 2009 02:58:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_486894505604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_486846598788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - Nothing makes me feel smug like a freebie of something I would have bought anyway, and the EOS (Evolution of Smooth) Organic Lip Balm sphere is just such a product.  I read about it online and actually tried to find it in stores near me, with no... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~486846598788 Thu, 1 Oct 2009 16:29:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_486846598788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_486612569732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - It’s been a while since I purchased a game for my DS.  "Puzzle Quest" set such a high standard that I didn’t want to settle for just any old brain-training sudoku pet-academy piece of junk.  But I’d heard so many excellent... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~486612569732 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:44:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_486612569732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_486515838596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - It’s officially fall, and that means it’s time for me to put away the sandals and joyfully bring out my boot collection!  Of course, I love all my boots equally and it would be wrong to play favorites, but I have to admit that these BC... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~486515838596 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:08:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_486515838596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_486511775364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - Let me tell you, acquiring lip gloss is a whole lot more fun than getting rid of it.  Lately, I’ve been clearing out my junk in an attempt to fight the onset of crazy-cat-lady-apartment syndrome, and it’s a miserable slog confronting a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~486511775364 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:43:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_486511775364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_486209916548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - Every time I see one of these books, it makes me gnash my teeth.  Not because I have anything against the blog-to-memoir genre, you understand, but because I’m so envious that I haven’t done it myself.  I mean, it looks so easy:... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~486209916548 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:04:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_486209916548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_483561606788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - Every day, it’s the same thing.  I dutifully pack my lunch with good intentions – the fruit, the yogurt, the energy bar – and these things all work, to a point.  Specifically, they work until 4:00 pm, when the SNACK MONSTER... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~483561606788 Wed, 2 Sep 2009 20:55:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_483561606788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_483556953732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined -

My naturally wavy hair, when left to its own devices, dries into a poofy-on-one-side, flattened-on-the-other snarl of curls and frizz that looks too much like a thrift-store wig to be safe to take out in public as is.  In fact, it practically needs... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~482363870852 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 04:30:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_482363870852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_481609617028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined -

I visit Portland several times a year, and although I try to cleverly wrangle accommodations with friends and family (the better to blow my travel budget on Voodoo Donuts), occasionally I do have to stay at a hotel.  Last time I was there, we stayed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~481587859076 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 17:08:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_481587859076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_480872926852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - I’m certainly not immune to the allure of a well-designed cover, and I was immediately struck by the charming, cheeky cover art on Alan Bradley’s The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie: a silhouette of an obviously dead bird, lying... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480872926852 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:10:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480872926852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477778054788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - Recently, it came to my attention that I am fat, and therefore it is necessary to find new ways of burning calories, so that I may continue to fit into my clothes.  Part of the reason I don’t exercise more (okay, at all) is that I’m just... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477778054788 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 19:14:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477778054788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477762391684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - At any given time, I usually have three or four data-sharing devices jammed into my bag, whether it’s an iPod, a portable hard drive, or what have you.  But my favorite way to quickly and conveniently transfer files is still these tiny thumb... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477762391684 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:03:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477762391684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477507849860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - Travel is highly educational.  Last time I went to Mexico, for example, I learned that Cruzan Mango Rum is dirt-cheap at the duty-free!  While you may have to pay a bit more back in the States, this tasty, fruity rum is well worth it for adding... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477507849860 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:13:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477507849860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_468564020868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined -
