Overrated, Overhyped, Overpriced

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 07:38:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - I first visited Wesleyan in the spring of my senior year and was rather touched by the aesthetic appeal of the campus. All of the architecture here is the same, save for the two new apartment buildings on campus, and the lawns are liberally dotted with...

Ohmygoodness

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 20:14:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - I first saw this book in the bookstore and groaned. 'Not another Bible-thumping story of the apocalypse,' I thought. Then, the names of the authors jumped off of the cover. Forget that first thought--I let out a giggle that they must've heard all the...

Blue Mountain Arts eCards: Cute free E-cards

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 10:31:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - A friend sent me a Blue Mountain Arts card for my birthday that was too cute for words. It was simple, in basic HTML, and was absolutely adorable. I went to the site myself and looked around--there is a selection at this site that you simply will not...

Can you see my nose wrinkled in disgust?

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 07:32:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - Whatever happened to the music in MTV? When I turn on the television to MTV, I want to see music videos...and variety! I don't want to see whiny twits on The Real World (get over it already. it's so voyeuristic) and I don't want to see that prettyboy...

The western channel?

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 07:26:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - That's what this network should really be named. Yes, they bought Babylon 5. They also killed Crusade without giving it a chance because it wasn't enough like LEXX for them. (Okay, that was simplifying it, but it does fit.) They have all of these...

What Florida USED to be

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 07:07:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - Not only is this an excellent book for a young reader, it's also an excellent book to introduce a person to old Florida, before the retirement homes and condominiums. It's written simply, from the point of view of a young girl, and tells the story of...

Every schoolkid should read this book

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 06:55:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - I remember the first time I ever read this book. I was seven, and my first-grade teacher had let me loose on the librarian again. "I want to read something good!" I exclaimed to the poor woman excitedly. She made me promise to follow the...

Yeehaw!

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 06:26:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - I've used this mouse on two computers now, a 486 and a cheesy little notebook. It's a good mouse. Nothing special, but a good mouse. It's handy in Linux, but I find the software to use the third button in Windows annoying. I don't like it.

I love this bank!

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 06:03:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - I got USAA's college start plan at the beginning of this semester when I enrolled in college. Not only did I get a credit card with a VERY GOOD interest rate, I also got a checking account and cash card--all for free! They've been exceedingly helpful...

Woohoo! Geek programming!

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 04:04:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - I love this network. They may not have that many shows, but what they do have shines. One of the great plusses of the network, in my opinion, is that you can catch shows whenever you want. The majority of programming is produced daily, interjected...

Touch and Go

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 03:54:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - SciFi channel has shown some of the best television on TV right now. Check out the Jim Henson Company's Farscape for an example. They also show some golden oldies that Nick at Nite seems to have either overlooked or been late in picking up such as Star...

Fun geek toy

Tue, 28 Dec 1999 02:47:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - My family purchased this mouse as a Christmas gift for my father, after he killed the mouse that came with it. The members of my family have a history with standard mice and trackballs--that is, we're serial killers of these devices--so after seeing one...

At least it doesn't pretend...

Thu, 9 Dec 1999 08:11:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - Unlike a lot of people, I much prefer this movie to Deep Impact. This movie didn't try to force sloppy sentimentality down my throat. Sure, it's silly. Sure, it's unbelievable. Isn't that the point of a summer movie? You know, get out of the sun, go...

Alas, Kaworu, I knew him well.

Thu, 9 Dec 1999 07:39:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - What's amazing about these episodes of this anime is that they introduce us to a character, Nagisa Kaworu, and only give us this one episode with him...yet he becomes as much a part of this anime as Shinji, Rei, or Asuka. That's good storytelling right...

Uh...can we say...SUCK?

Thu, 9 Dec 1999 07:30:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - The only redeeming feature of this movie is that David Warner is in it.

That's it.

And only it.

It's a complete piece of drivel. I mean, yeah, I understand that it was at this point that they were trying to inject the...

Fun with Plastic

Thu, 2 Dec 1999 04:39:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - First observation: for an action figure, this one has a really good likeness.

I'm not kidding here, either. For something only 4" tall, it looks amazingly like a tiny plastic Samuel L. Jackson. All it needs now is to talk to Yoda...or...

I love this game

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 21:47:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - This game is GREAT for play on a notebook. It's small enough where it doesn't take up hordes of space, but big enough where you can find yourself playing for hours on long trips..or until your battery dies, whichever comes first. It's a great...

A waste of paper

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 21:36:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - This book is probably one of the biggest wastes of time I've ever had the misfortune of reading. I really hate to be such a downer, but this book was just BAD. Told in the first-person from an eleven year old who really should just be put into a box...

Archived Movie Reviews: The BEST Sailor Moon Movie!

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 21:23:33 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - Plot-wise, this is the most mature of the three Sailormoon movies, which is the main reason it's my favorite. I've been a fan of the series for around four years now, maybe a little less, and this movie ranks right up around the third season in maturity...

Good movie to see with friends..

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 18:24:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - Dogma is definitely a Kevin Smith film. Coming into the movie with four friends, all of us fans of the director's work, we automatically started noticing references to his other three works in the very beginning of the movie. It doesn't, however, take...

Somewhat Decent...

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 18:17:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author faeriewing - When I got to college, this was the computer presented to me, loaded with Win95 and Office 97. It's a good machine, for it's speed and size, and does well for both basic word processing and some gaming. I find that the games that do the best on this...
