rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - In part one I focused on the hotel we stayed at in New Orleans - now I turn to Bourbon Street.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - If only three days was long enough to fall in love. I thought it was and that I fell in love with and in New Orleans.

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 22:03:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - Abnormal psych is one of those classes a lot of people take even if they aren't psych majors. It sounds interesting. Who can deny that those people who are out of the ordinary are the ones we are entertained by or are drawn toward watching, studying,...

I trust my Dermatologist

Fri, 9 Feb 2001 21:45:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - I think I suffer from the same disease all young people do . . . intense over-reaction to any skin problem.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - I sit here writing this review while watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the second time. I have to admit that the second time through this movie makes a helluva lot more sense. Upon first viewing it is easy to get caught up in the...

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 05:13:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - When I wrote my review of the History Channel I said that aside from it I only need one other channel - that is MTV.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - When I want something big, meaty and juicy, there's only one place in Seattle to go and that's Dick's. This small chain is a cornerstone of cuisine in Seattle. There are six locations in the Seattle area. Some are walk-in-sit-down types. Others are...

Blue Mountain Arts eCards: Looking for something tacky, free and insincere?

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 19:29:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - I think that Blue Mountain Arts eCards are some of the cheesiest, tackiest, least sincere eCards on the Net. I would much rather receive an e-mail telling me happy birthday, get well soon or happy secretary day than get on of these ugly little excuses...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - Who isn't mesmerized by normal household items that are built to make you feel the size of a real mouse?

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 02:35:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - I was once an obsessed Dean Koontz Fan. I read every one of his books that were released through the mid-1990's.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - Unlike Mary Ann Singleton, I was 18, not 25, when I first saw San Francisco. I was from Seattle, not Cleveland. I was going to Stanford, not running away from a life without promise or excitement. But in so many ways, I was able to feel in touch with...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - With four parks at Walt Disney World, it can be important to budget your time wisely. You will find that unlike a trip to Disneyland, you have many more options. You would need to stay for two or more weeks to go over all the rides in the four parks.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - What did 17 million dollars get you in 1979? A great ride that is know as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Mon, 22 May 2000 07:26:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jasonkirk - So, as a Stanford student I had to write a review of UC-Berkeley.
