Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:47:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mashimaru - Believe it or not, I have survived this long without a set of measuring spoons in my kitchen. Really! I'm a "pincher" and a "eye-baller" when it comes to spices and things. It's very hit-or-miss, and I don't know why I didn't buy a set before...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mashimaru - I've survived in the kitchen for a very long time with exactly one dry measuring cup - a Tupperware 1/2 cup that was probably once part of a set.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mashimaru - Definitely, Maybe begins inauspiciously. Ryan Reynolds, playing a guy named Will Hayes, plays Everyday People on his MP3 player and strides through the streets of New York in slow-mo as the credits roll. He calls it the "absolutely...

TiVo: My First DVR

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:22:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mashimaru - I resisted getting a DVR for a long time, because I had always thought that if I wasn't home to watch a TV show, it wasn't meant to be. A lot of the shows I did enjoy watching were basic cable shows that rerun about 5 times a day. (Project...

Sun, 25 May 2008 20:16:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mashimaru - Paradise Kiss is a somewhat atypical anime. A great deal of anime is devoted to romance. Yes, it's formula, and it doesn't always work. But when it does, it's sublime. With a title like Paradise Kiss, you expect romance. But the main...
