dishkitty says "What did I do before the DS Lite?" about Nintendo - DS Lite Console

dishkitty — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:58:59 GMT

The DS Lite is a great portable gaming system. It's compact, ultra-portable, and the variety of games available is amazing! There are titles for young kids all the way to the hard core gaming adult. For a frequent traveller, this is a MUST especially because the battery life is awesome! I can easily make 4 hours without recharging. My DS Lite fits in my purse, so whenever I find myself with a few minutes (waiting at the doctor's office, stuck in traffic, etc) I am prepared with a fun game!

I also love the innovative touch screen, as well as the built in mic. Fun, clever, and easy to use and carry. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy my DS!

dishkitty says "A disappointment compared to the Nancy Drew PC games." about Nintendo DS - Nancy Drew: Deadly Secret of Olde World Park

dishkitty — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:50:17 GMT

As a big fan of the Nancy Drew PC games, I have to say I was diappointed with the DS version, Nancy Drew: Deadly Secret of Olde World Park. The game play simple - a little too simple. It seemed geared more towards teens and young adults than an adult like myself.

I was also disappointed that the game wasn't more robust - it seemed to only take about 4 or 5 hours to play through the ENTIRE mystery.

I did like the artwork and the comic book feel, but again - the game seemed to keep using the same graphics over and over and that was disappointing as well.

dishkitty says "My Spanish Coach is a fun way to learn a new language!" about Nintendo DS - My Spanish Coach

dishkitty — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:45:00 GMT

This game really makes learning a new language fun. I was impressed with how the lessons are set up, as well as how great this would be for someone travelling to a Spanish speaking country. There are some great phrases pre-loaded and then categorized based on the subject - restaraunts, travel, general conversation, emergencies, etc. Overall, I'm enjoying this. The games make it easy and fun to retain the new vocabulary words while practicing the words from previous lessons as well....

dishkitty — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:40:03 GMT

Animal Crossing: Wild World for the Nintendo DS is great fun. There is so much to do in this game that the long-term playability is awesome. It's also very cute and suitable for younger kids. A great game!!!

dishkitty says "A solid choice." about Rival SCVP609 6-Quart Slow Cooker

dishkitty — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:25:02 GMT

This crock pot works great, and is easy to clean. I also like the size of it - I can make a meal for 4 easily and then my hubby & I can eat leftovers the next day. I also like the fact that it shuts off after a certain time but still stays warm until you get to it. My only complaint is that I wish there was more flexibility with the times. There are only 2 time choices for low (I think 8 & 10), and 2 for high (4 & 6). I have a recipe that requires only 4 hours on low and I can't make it in this crock....

dishkitty says "Simply Amazing!" about Spanx Higher Power

dishkitty — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 03:58:22 GMT

Spanx are amazing! They just make everything look better, and your clothes fit better as well. I was really worried they would roll down, but that really hasn't been a problem for me. They are expensive, but so worth the cost....

dishkitty says "The perfect summer beer." about Bell's Oberon

dishkitty — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 03:48:45 GMT

Oberon is a nice, full-bodied citrus beer. It's served with an orange, which brings out the flavor perfectly. Sadly, it's not available year-round.

dishkitty says "I can't live without it anymore!" about TiVo - Digital Video Recorder

dishkitty — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:39:13 GMT

I can't say enough good things about my Tivo. I honestly don;t know what I did before I got it! I am so addicted that I actually skip watching live shows on purpose so that I can watch the recording later and skip through all the commercials. Tivo is the greatest thing that's happened to TV since....well, EVER. I'm not a sports fan at all, I just love other TV. If you do dig sports then Tivo is even more ideal. I think that setup is somewhat intense, but I have a super techie husband who handled that for me. Now I have a Tivo in every room!!...

dishkitty says "Super fun game! " about Xbox 360 - Rock Band

dishkitty — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:34:22 GMT

I'm not a video game person, but I LOVE this game! My husband brought it home and I wasn't impressed. Then we tried it. I'm the singer of our rock band, and we play a couple of times a week. It's a ton of fun!! This would be great to play if you had people over or as a family. Also, we live in an apartment, and our neighbors have never complained about the noise, so it isn't too bad....

dishkitty says "Great phone with tons of features." about Motorola Q Smartphone

dishkitty — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:21:53 GMT

I've had my Moto Q for about a month, and I'm really happy with it so far. The keyboard is just the right size, and it's easy to use. The only drawback is the battery life - it needs a charge every night.

dishkitty says "A fun game for everyone." about Nintendo Wii - My Sims

dishkitty — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 19:16:12 GMT

This game is really cute and fun for the whole family! Easy to navigate, easy to play. A good time!! The only downside is that you aren't able to interact with other towns....

dishkitty says "Great quality for the money!" about Flip Video Camcorder

dishkitty — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 19:06:03 GMT

This is the perfect little camera to tuck in your bag and keep with you - you'll never miss anything!! The sound and video quality are great for the price, and the ultra portability is awesome. Plus, it has a USB that pops out, and the video editing software is right there, so there's very little fuss involved. I'm very happy with my camera, and I've been using it for about 4 months....

dishkitty says "I love these glosses - I have every color!" about Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers

dishkitty — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 21:53:52 GMT

These lipsticks feel great on your lips, and the colors are also really nice. I ended up buying one of each and I almost always have one in my pocket, and a few spares in my purse. They give a slight tingle to your lips, which I really like....
