Sun, 18 Mar 2007 20:20:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scenery - What do a Chia herb garden, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit calendar, a bun blaster machine, and a dust mop have in common? They are just a small sampling of unromantic gifts given to me by my most beloved Mr. Scenery. So, on Valentine's Day, when he...

Mon, 4 Jul 2005 15:27:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scenery - Think fresh florida-orange faces perched upon porcelain necks. Think cordovan shoe polish-like streaks haphazardly smeared across the body. Think dry, thick-skinned knees; each rough edge and wrinkled valley deepened and emphasized like jagged mountains...

Mon, 15 Dec 2003 20:32:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author scenery - I have a problem with drugstores. I fall for the impulse buy every time. Note to retailers, "Throw some cheap crap in a sale bin right next to the register, and chances are I'll buy some!" Usually I wind up with something fairly harmless, like a little...

Sun, 23 Mar 2003 00:16:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scenery - Just about everyone looks better in candlelight, or in that magic hour right around sunset...or through beer goggles, for that matter. The effect is a bit blurry, a bit glowy, and flaws are nicely softened.

Fri, 21 Feb 2003 18:10:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author scenery - I read Joyce Carol Oates' Beasts in one sitting--curled up in front of the fireplace, hiding from the ice storm outside. Somehow, the book seemed to match the weather. Set in a small New England women's college called Catamount, circa 1975,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scenery - I love all of those milky, frothy, frou-frou concoctions, like chai lattes, frappucino-type iced coffee drinks, and even the occasional hot chocolate. Sometimes, when in a hurry, I cheat and use a mix for a quick fix. (Shh-don't tell anyone!)

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author scenery - Beauty is Pain

I've since become a big...

Fri, 27 Jul 2001 18:35:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scenery - I live in a historic district, in a registered historical landmark house. The pipes through which my drinking water travels are genuine relics. Water, when drunk straight from the tap tastes like juice from chemically-treated antique sweatsocks.
