General Reviews
Veteran’s Park
The park nearest my home is one of the only parks in the area. It has been there for years, and I remember from when I was a child. I never really noticed how small the park was. I also did not notice the lack of shading. I guess …
Wingate Inn St. Augustine FL
The Wingate Inn like the color green. The outside of the building had all kinds of plants. There were bushes, ferns and palms. Then the hotel was outlined in green. The roof was outlined in green and even under the windows of the rooms. …
J C Penney Home Collection Washcloth
Earlier I did a review for another J C Penney washcloth, one that I’d been disappointed in. Prior to purchasing that product, though, I’d been getting J C Penney Home Collection Washcloths. Pricing is about the same, but there is a difference.
I noticed the other product was …

Nalgene Waterbottle
I absolutely cannot be without my red 1000 mL Nalgene bottle securely in my hand. Ever since I purchased this bottle for approximately $30.00 at my college’s Barnes and Noble, I found myself absolutely addicted to this bottle.
Looking at this bottle, there are measurements tallies on the side, indicating …
Iranian Nuclear Program
Since recent time a lot of attention has been paid to Iran developing its own nuclear program - beginning from clamorous callings for another crusade against intolerant extremists and finishing praises to Ahmedinajad himself as a savior of all Muslims.
In my opinion, all this mass hysteria against said issue …
The Grande- Wedding Venue
If ever you were looking for a quaint little spot to have a wedding, look no further than the Grande. Ordinarily I’m unimpressed by “Old Southern” charm. But The Grande Wedding Venue and Bridal House is a little piece of Southern utopia. It is actually …
Mad Jack Cafe at Paradiz Centre Singapore

MANHUNTING by Jennifer Crusie
Manhunting by Jennifer Crusie is one of her earlier books (not that early, but predating Getting Rid of Bradley) and seems to have a lighter feel to it. There is the usual witty dialogue and one-liners, and the occasional product placement. There aren’t actually product placements, of course, it’s …
‘Four Bells’ Dark Navy Rum
I am a sucker for a good, strong tasting drink. I’ll happily knock back a tomato juice with loads of Worcestershire Sauce, because it can really hit the spot when you’re awaiting some decent food, but there’s half an hour to go and there are rumblings from the digestive …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Surprise

I-405 Freeway

CSI New York Season 2 Episode 5 Dancing With the Fishes
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 5 Dancing With the Fishes
That was one horrible episode. The investigations and the murders did not even matter, because the cases themselves were just too boring to begin with. I would rate this episode below average. But that should not reflect …
D&G Malta
As long as I can remember, Malta, manufactured by the Jamaican company D&G has been a popular Jamaican drink. When I was much younger I used to think that it was made of alcohol though or probably was a brand of beer so I didn’t pay much attention to …

Nautica Oceans Eau de Toilette Spray

Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 3 Won’t Get Fooled Again
Not a bad episode. But not my favourite story. The story is believable, but it seems a bit strange to me how they realize things really just a second before they need them. And I would expect an experienced team to be able to figure out things ahead of …

The last thing most parents want to do is put their child in front of the TV, but there are some really educational programs available for the TV. The Smart Cycle is one of them.

Nice places are a dime a dozen but don’t you dare try to live there unless you have the right paint job,and I don’t mean your house.

Talisker Scotch Malt Whisky
When it comes to whisky, I always spell mine without an —˜e’. Don’t get me wrong. I like bourbon. In fact, I love it. It’s great, but it isn’t —˜whisky’. It’s —˜whiskey’, the same way that Irish is. Only Scotch whisky (and some Canadian) is spelled —˜whisky’. So saying, …

One of my favorite charities is Locks of Love, a nonprofit organization that helps children under the age of 18 who are losing their hair due to medical reasons.

Storm Master Oversize Umbrella
Back during the summer, my old umbrella broke during a storm and I needed to buy a new one. The first place I looked was at Target and I must say the prices really shocked me! The cheapest one was over $20! I don’t recall what my old umbrella …
Criminal Minds Season 2 Episode 17 Distress
Although the episode was well written I found something really unpleasing about it. During the whole time I was watching it, something kept bothering me. Maybe there were parts of the story which I did not fully believe or maybe I just did not like the main character of …
Can’t Hardly Wait movie
I was flipping channels on Saturday and came across the movie Can’t Hardly Wait on TV. It was the first time I’ve seen the movie before so I took the time to watch it. And, I have to say it was better than expected.

Penway Pencil Crayon Sharpener
I have been using this Penway Pencil and Crayon Sharpener for months and I must say I really like it. It is simple but works very well. Simple is good, as it seems that too many companies goof their products up when they try to “improve” them. I’m glad …
Rose Art Crayone
I don’t know if is just because I have gotten used to using Crayola crayons for the last several years or what, but the RoseArt brand of crayons leave a lot to be desired. I think the crayon formula they use is lacking, mostly in color and then …

CSI New York Season 3 Episode 17 The Ride In
This episode focuses on telling the crime stories of the bizarre, the strange and the absolutely ridiculous. And doing some good investigation work in between. I liked that episode, but when it was over, I couldn’t help myself but to go “what the hell?”
