I liked this movie for a number of reasons. 1) I am a fan of roller derby. 2) I'm a fan of 'alternative' gals. 3) I'm glad to see Drew Barrymore … more
This bill doesn't have all I want, but I'm glad reform has started. If you're wondering how it will affect you, I suggest this calculator at washingtonpost.com: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special... … more
I am not a big gamer. Most of the games I play on my iPhone are word finds and block puzzles, just time wasters to distract me from weirdos on the subway. But I download a few shoot-em-up games to make … more
Point One: This is not a zombie movie. Zombies are undead. These folks have been poisoned. I need to make that clear for the true zombie fans out there. Point Two: This is a … more
When I was young, Old Spice aftershave was something old white men who had yachts would buy. Compare that to the work that's been done for Old Spice lately, and I see advertising genius. (A not so … more
Foursquare is not the first geolocating app to surface, but it seems to have gotten more of a foothold than some of the others. I had another called Loopt on my iPhone for a bit, but it's just no fun … more
In these post-Kindle days, just after the introduction of the iPad, we fans of old-fashioned books often wonder about the eventual fate of our leather-bound trophies. In Eli's world, I'm … more
If you've seen the trailer for this film, you know to expect plenty out of this film to give you chills. But if you haven't read the book, you are definitely in for some surprises. … more
I looked for months for a really great lunch box, and besides my old Tick lunch box with matching Thermos (which I cannot use because of collectable value), this is my favorite. … more
This is not an easy or fun film to watch, but it is worth a viewing, and a great film for those of us that like a film class sort of movie, worthy of discussion. I am a big fan … more
This is popcorn-popping scenery at its best. It's worth the big screen, and time flies when you're in the theater. Good thing, because it's 162 minutes long. That's 2 hours and 42 minutes, folks. YIKES. … more
I've got an overflowing closet, I've taken over part of my husband's closet, and there's an extra rack in the basement for off-season clothes. Now that's just silly, because I only … more
I bought one of these when we went on a vacation to Puerto Rico and I knew we'd be going snorkeling three or four times. This digital camera was priced around $170, and I knew if I purchased a few disposable … more
This would have been a lot scarier if the teenage girls sitting next to us weren't saying "Don't go in there, it's gonna get you!" throughout the film. Frankly, I'm glad they were there. Because … more
A friend of mine was using this litter when I went to do some cat-sitting for her, and I had to know what this stuff was! For the first time, there was none of that signature cat litter smell. … more
I loved this film for many reasons, but I'll try to keep this review spoiler-free so you can enjoy the film the way I did. It's really quite deep and thought-provoking. No big name stars. … more
This was without a doubt the coolest birthday present I got this year. I've often been caught on the road without my cigarette lighter charger and my iPod power dwindling. After … more

Many girls have a thing for handbags. I have a herd of handbags, ranging in size from petite to monstrous, depending on the occasion and my mood. Those may have been the occasion and mood I bought the … more
I've just renewed my membership at Costco for the second time, and I'm telling you, I'll do it again. I joined because I am a party girl. And Costco is a GREAT place to go if you're … more
I discovered these when I was preparing for my wedding, and practiced my eye makeup twice a day. One makeup remover pad is enough for both eyes, if you wear the average level of day makeup. … more
I prefer to use natural makeup products whenever I can, and Aveda tends to win out with quality products that are easy to find in colors I like. This lip balm has a great conditioning quality, … more
