I can’t stand Everyday Food, even though my mom loves it. Allie’s voice is so nasally that it grates badly on my nerves, and she strikes me as the kind of person who is really snobby and mean to other people. Sarah is too loud and obnoxious. I’m not sure exactly what, but something about [...]
My friend Susan e-mailed me a review of the new ice-cream-flavored Skittles, which I haven’t gotten to try yet. Here’s what she said (posted with permission):

How horrible is this?! According to a post at Go Nintendo, the only way you can reserve a Wii or PS3 is by trading in games and accessories that value more than $50, combined. You can’t pay cash, even if you pay in full! (Once your trade-in value reaches $50, however, you can pay [...]
I’m sure there are a lot of us who wait for certain games to drop their prices. There are few titles I, personally, will pay retail for, and those games have to have excellent reviews and I have to be almost certain I will love them (not like; love.) A recent example for [...]
