rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - When faced with the daunting task of beginning a hundred-page research paper, many first-year masters students seem a bit lost. Thankfully, one of us has had her subject in mind for months, and knew exactly where to start - Michael Patrick Hearn's...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - Remember those good old days in elementary school, where you would paint a thin layer of glue along your palm, wait a few minutes for it to dry, and then slowly peel it off. Remember the excitement when you would actually manage to get it all off in...

Defalco's Italian Deli is De-licious!

Fri, 21 Nov 2003 13:20:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - In my tender youth, going out for dinner was nearly unheard of. Even a trip to McDonalds was rare, and never would we be allowed to order a happy meal... do you realize how much they charge you for that toy?! However, time has passed, and things have...

Wed, 15 Oct 2003 10:39:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - Boo! Did I scare ya? Even if you're a bit skittish, don't let that lead you away from Mates of State's most recent release, Team Boo. Despite the name, it's nothing frightening... in fact, it's anything but. For those who (somehow) a...

Tue, 23 Sep 2003 10:47:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - Yes, I guess you could call us Friends fans. After all, we have the first eight seasons worth on DVD, but it's not like we have a choice.

Mon, 15 Sep 2003 10:36:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - The onset of adolescence... we've all been there. The shame of the parental units. Those first few spots that you are just sure everyone is staring at. Measuring your "thing." Well, some of us lack the right equipment for that last one, but it does...

Nada Surf Breathes New Life Into Indochine's "L'Aventurier."

Mon, 8 Sep 2003 08:55:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - Nada Surf is best put, a "been there, done that" group. They soared to fame in the mid-90's when their song "Popular" climbed the charts and got insane radio play. They struggled long and hard in a legal battle to the rights to publish their songs when...

The Ataris Before They Were Anywhere (But Here).

Wed, 4 Jun 2003 09:55:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - The Ataris. You've probably seen them working hard to be the next Blink 182 or Saves the Day explosion. Maybe you heard them on Loveline, or saw them on MTV. Maybe you're even a fan that has followed them through all sorts of drama.

Mon, 2 Jun 2003 10:03:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - The Full Monty. You've certainly heard of it... after all, a few years ago it was the movie that everyone and their mother was talking about. You know... relatively unattractive men learning to strip and showing some skin on video. It doesn't...

Wed, 28 May 2003 09:02:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - Hey you, with your pathetic little two weeks paid vacation... did you know that the French get a full five weeks vacation time per year?

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - Once upon a time, in my junior year in high school, I joined the marching band. That's right, I spent my mornings on the football field, my Friday nights at football games, and even some Saturdays at marching competitions. I hated it.

Mon, 19 May 2003 11:13:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - Mates of State. Two kooky kids in love, that rock it their own way... with a drum set, and an old, portable organ. They gave us a whole lot of poppified rock goodness in their first album, released in 2000, entitled

Thu, 15 May 2003 11:09:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - For a long time, my other half bought every issue of Rock Sound (the French version) magazine.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - I have a hard time keeping track of Mother's Day these days.
