rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - When my daughter was born last summer, I held off on purchasing a breast pump because I wasn't sure I would be able to breastfeed. Well, after a few rough weeks, we got the hang of it, so I ran down to a local medical supply store to buy one for top...

Great Scenery: Not Much Else

Sat, 27 May 2000 16:56:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - After I read Alex Garland's excellent novel, The Beach, I rushed out and bought his next novel as soon as it came out. A few years later, when I heard his first novel was to be made into a movie, I was very excited to see it. Unfortunately the...

Not a 'Cold Town' at All!

Sun, 21 May 2000 22:06:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - This epinion was spurred by reading the popular epinion by bonies7 entitled 'Cold Town......Old Town'. I was saddened to find that he thought so little of one of our attractions here in San Diego.

Now, I don't pretend to be a historical site...

Lots o' blood, guts and half-naked men!

Sun, 21 May 2000 14:13:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Was Maximus (Russell Crowe) REALLY the same guy who played the paunchy pasty white middle-aged man in The Insider? If so, I am doubly impressed with his performance. What a complete 180 degree turnaround this was? In his last movie, he was about...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Originally I wasn't pleased to see my husband's recent Blockbuster selection - The House on Haunted Hill. I had confused this movie with another recent flick: The Haunting, which we saw at the theatre and despite it's special effects, was truly...

Thu, 11 May 2000 17:22:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - A sad premise - a beloved child, shot by her own nine year old half-brother. The family: mother, Giselle: finishing up her B.A. father: Dan, a college professor, brother: Teddy: a happy normal nine-year old, baby: Trina: a beautiful dark-eyed cherub of...

Two Liars and a Mayan Barbie Doll

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 03:23:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - After seeing the film this evening, and then reading a few of the reviews, I feel I have a new and improved perspective on this movie, and am qualified to comment on it. Folks, the movie was rated PG - let's note that right off. That should be your first...

Stimpy! You Eeeeeeediot!

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 18:45:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Starring a heavily caffeinated chihuahua named Ren and his drooling slow-witted sidekick, Stimpy, the Ren & Stimpy Show is a giddy celebration of bodily fluids, gassy disturbances and big bloodshot bugged-out eyeballs. Like beer,...

Uh... pedophilia is Fun

Thu, 6 Apr 2000 02:31:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Upon first reading of Lolita, I was swept away by the caricature of Humbert Humbert. His awkward bumblings, his twisted tormented desires and his hesitant actions brought forth my contempt, but his old world manner, his cool, self-justifying...

Uh... Incest is Fun

Thu, 6 Apr 2000 01:49:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - At least, that's what you think after reading this deliciously trashy piece of steaming dung by V.C. Andrews.

I happened to see a review on this book, which brought back memories. I read this book when I was in my teens, but I still have...

Even I found the cleavage distracting...

Wed, 5 Apr 2000 21:20:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - and I'm a woman. But other than that, the movie was excellent. This is the kind of movie where you leave feeling good, but also the burning question "Hey..whatever happened to them after THIS?"

It was this desire that drove me...

Beautiful San Luis Rey Mission

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - If you visit anywhere in California, especially along the Coastline, you should make it a point to visit the beautiful missions that dot the coastline, stretching from San Francisco to San Diego. There are 21 missions in all. And it is absolutely...

Free Admission to Sea World All Year!

Wed, 5 Apr 2000 19:35:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Yep, being a San Diego native is nice! It becomes cost effective to put out the $75/adult or $65/kids to buy yearly passes. That way, during the summer, you and the kids can go almost EVERY DAY, if just to play at Shamu's Happy Harbor, which is a...

iMac: Darn Scary!

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 16:40:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Let me first say that I find guns to be icky. Don't like 'em.

And upon first viewing, this commercial was scary. Some madman with a gun blasting away. The computer was shot to bits. However, at the end when he said, "I also do a review...

Breast Pump: Pretty Darn Hard to Take THIS One Seriously

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 15:44:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - An ad for a breastpump could be done tastefully and done well. Unfortunately, this was NOT the ad.

Some people think that anyone who laughs at, or disapproves of this ad must be 'hung up' or not supportive of breastfeeding. Au contraire!

Fainting in The Aisles and Running Out In Terror???

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 13:44:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Now I realize this was purported to be an 'artsy' type film made by gen-u-ine student filmmakers (thus the claim of it being 'real') so I put up with the poor film quality and poor sound quality and jerky cameras.

But...I was disappointed that...

I was a Bad Girl - and B of A welcomed me!

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 23:58:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Now I admit this isn't the greatest reason for choosing a bank, but because they gave me an account when no one else would, I have to recommend them.

For about eight years I was an exotic dancer. I traveled a bit from state to state and worked...

Ohhhh! I sobbed like a baby!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - At first, it was all laughs hearing the cute kids say "daWWWWg" for the millionth time, wondering when the blond kid with the mouth full of chewing tobacco was going to wipe his damn lip off, enjoying Kevin Bacon with an adorable drawl...

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 16:43:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Born in Point Loma 31 years ago, I've never left this beautiful city. I've traveled a bit, but never found anywhere I liked better.

Absolutely riveting!!!!

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 21:19:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - *NOTE* THIS BOOK IS CALLED SIMPLY "Candy" - I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS LISTED AS 'Candy Trade' AS THIS TITLE IS INCORRECT.

This book is strangely beautiful and powerful. Love and addiction are entwined so completely and the...

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 20:44:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Where else can you get advice like this? Not in traditional tomes like "What to Expect When You're Expecting!"

After reading several pregnancy books that assumed the reader is living in the comfortable middle class with an eager...

'Tisn't Angela's Ashes...but it's not meant to be!

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 18:14:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - This book is written by Frank McCourt's (author of Angela's Ashes) younger brother Malachy. To give a fair analysis, the reader must not compare Malachy's rollicking drunken exaggerations to this brother's simply written solid descriptive prose. I think...

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 19:26:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - Ever since I learned to read, my mother found that I did little else. I read novels in class behind the pages of my science text. I read books in the bathtub, rendering the bottom of books crispy, crinkled and stained with scented soap. I read books at...

The Best Vacuum in the Universe

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 20:13:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - This vacuum was a Christmas gift, and at first, I was not very excited about receiving a large appliance as a gift - to be honest, I was hoping for something a little more romantic. But, my husband finds the vacuum so easy to use that now I have HIM...

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 19:54:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstigerlily - I first saw this on the cover of a Target ad, so I decided to check it out. As I stood in line, both a customer AND the cashier told me they LOVED their George Foreman Grill. That was a good sign - and they were right.

The grill comes out of...
