My bungalow was built around 1900 and has stood the test of time. I have hardwood floors, a cobblestone basement, and a fantastic brick arch to my back room.

Caldecott Honor recipient David Shannon's third "David" book tickled my funny bone.

I generally avoid novels about aliens, the distant future, space travel and anything else really far fetched. In the last few months I've discovered Canadian author Robert J. Sawyer who... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~439231876740 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:26:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_439231876740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437372096132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Delicate and evocative, The Kite Runner is the kind of film most people will adore. It didn't get much hype upon release, but as it turns out The Kite Runner is anything but forgettable. If you like dramas, love beautiful films, and are looking for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~437372096132 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:52:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_437372096132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437116898948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - After my old trustworthy Casio EX-Z55 took its last viable photo, it became clear that I would be seeking out a suitable replacement.

These include b-sides, remixes, and even tracks that didn't make the cut for an album.

Over the years I've discovered I'm particularly fond of the Suikoden series (I own III-V), Final Fantasy series (I own VII-XII), Atelier Iris, Dragon Quest, and even Kingdom... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428821614212 Sun, 4 May 2008 21:55:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428821614212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428149411460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Threesome isn't a movie I'm proud to admit I've seen. There are of course worse examples of cinema out there, but by and large it is a tragically awful picture. But what about the soundtrack, you wonder? Well whether or not you like it might depend a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428149411460 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:30:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428149411460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_427636985476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Unless you spend well over $100, diaper bags are not "cute." To add insult to injury, those in my price range tended toward the obnoxious Pooh or flower decor. Neither appealed to me in the least. I also wanted to make sure that when my husband had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427636985476 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:12:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427636985476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426971270788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - I've never been shy about admitting to enjoying films and books with very dark themes. I love reading nasty, disgusting, and amoral horror. I also can't help but enjoy similar things in movies. A few weeks back I read The Girl Next Door by Jack... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426971270788 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:41:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426971270788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426431516292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - What kid doesn't enjoy lighting up a dark room or generally wreaking havoc on a household with a flashlight? My son is no exception. He's a big fan of my husband's Mag-lights and enjoys figuring out all the other flashlights around the house.

This question is at the center of Jack Ketchum's chilling novel The Girl Next Door (1989). It deeply examines the human psyche and the way people can be easily influenced, pressured, and in the end completely controlled.

All the way back to Tron, the plot device has been a failure. In recent years we've seen the creation and destruction of games like House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Doom, and BloodRayne... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425982070404 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:08:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425982070404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424857603716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Nasty, disgusting, but engrossing Jack Ketchum's Off Season is quite the book. The title has a long and sordid history. Ketchum (a pseudonym belonging to writer Dallas Mayr) originally submitted a much more brutal text to the publisher.

This has allowed me the opportunity to try dozens of shampoos and conditioners. Some are good, some are... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424318570116 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:11:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424318570116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424175111812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Even the slightest bit of residue weighs my thin, fine, and straight hair down. Despite being a little difficult to manage during Michigan winters, I am fortunate to have non-frizzy and relatively easy hair. That doesn't mean I don't like products that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424175111812 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 17:27:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424175111812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424073727620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Walk into your local chain bookstore. Look at the horror section (if it exists--my Barnes & Noble doesn't have one, Borders does). What do you see? A bunch of V.C.

This comes as a big relief to me since I'm a huge reader. Had I not been able to pass my joy on to Zack I would have been disappointed. Sure he's not quite two years old, but so far so good!
