GRAND THEFT AUTO III — PC

Review written by Simon (03/06) http://www.mgon.com/reviews.phtml?id=136630&language=en&page=0 Once in a while, a game comes along that oozes originality and charm, in this case it also happens to be highly controversial. Grand Theft Auto 3 has risen to cult status on the PS2 and has no doubt sold a few consoles for […]

Homeless Fight Club Miffs Critics

By Steve Friess LAS VEGAS — One bloodied homeless man, his pants sliding off his back end, pummels a foe into the corner of a public toilet. Another rips his front tooth out with pliers. A third shows off the tattoos coating his penis. That’s entertainment? For thousands of people […]

Crosley: OFF THE LAUNDRY

Crosley’s freshman offering, OFF THE LAUNDRY, is a great collection of pop songs. The music is tight, the writing is fun and catchy, and the riffs will stick with you. Vince’s voice soars on songs like GIRL LIKE YOU and SOUL SURVIVE, and the first cut, AUTOMATIC, will have you […]

OTR — OHIO release concert, Coney Island, 8-30-03

Review by Dan Temmesfeld The Over the Rhine show last night… well, it ROCKED. openers: Griffin House was good enough to plunk down the remaining funds in my wallet for a CD. Children’s House was unique. Over the Rhine started out the show with “Spinning” with Nag Champa floating aall […]

WHAT IT TAKES TO PLEASE YOU — A tribute to OTR

So, no time to write a full-out, detailed review of the CD, but having listened to it three times now (it’s competing for time in my CD player with a three-CD set of “the best of Peter Gabriel” that I made the other day – it was going to be […]

Chef's Night Out — Andrew Dorenberg & Karen Page

After reading BECOMING A CHEF, DINING OUT, and the amazing CULINARY ARTISTRY, perhaps my expectations were a little high for this book. However, CHEF’S NIGHT OUT seemed thin on material, and designed for someone who is not me: a person that travels a LOT, and has tons of money. The […]

Maybe I'll Call Anna — William Browning Spencer

I really love W.B. Spencer’s work — I first found RESUME WITH MONSTERS, then ZOD WALLOP, then RETURN OF COUNT ELECTRIC, and IRRATIONAL FEARS is waiting to be read. MAYBE I’LL CALL ANNA is an interesting story from his early career and good in its own right. Definately a worthwhile […]

This is the first book by Garland that I have read… The book is a quick read, well-written, and has a unique point of view. The story is interesting, and there are several very clever bits in the book. Based on my experience with this book, I will read THE […]

DINNER: Wednesday, September 3, 2003

In the throes of my still-upset belly, and the excitement of tonight being my first night of culinary school (more on that later), I completely forgot to eat dinner! By the time my evening culinary class was done, I was so hungry I was shaking. Not good. Not smart. I […]

DINNER: Monday, September 8, 2003

Tonight, I made a basic risotto with chicken stock, parmesian cheese, garlic, onion, parsley, and (of course) rice. Since we didn’t have any arborio rice, I used sushi rice and it worked out just as well. Share: Click to print (Opens in new window) Print Click to email a link […]
