Epinions - my reviews of products and services

I've been reviewing products and services at Epinions for about ten years, and it's a great way to earn a little honest money.  Please use the link below to read some of my reviews. 

You can earn a little, too, by writing reviews of about 600 words about the things that you already have around the house.  That includes books and movies.  It won't make the house payment, but it will give you pocket money.  And you get paid the same for saying that a product is no good, as you would for saying that it's great. 

They do not have a referral program, so I do not get anything if you join.  However, my income will be boosted a little bit if you read some of my reviews.

Thank you so much!

Here's an image of Philip K. Dick's wristwatch, the one that he wore to the convention in Metz, France.  It works, but it does need a new battery.

Philip K. Dick original handwritten document

I have lost almost everything, and now I am losing the last of it.  In order to stay in my home a couple months longer, I am selling everything that I have left.  This handwritten document was Phil's way of making sure that I had my fair share of A Scanner Darkly, if anything happened to him. Phil wrote it by hand on a folded sheet of typing paper, shortly before we got married and I changed my name to Tessa Busby Dick.  

It hurts me to sell this, but I am desperate, and it will not put food on the table or pay the rent.

Auction ends October 5, 2010.  Minimum:  $900.

Signed document - Philip K. Dick - assignment

Since this document is no longer of any use to me, and I'm about to be kicked out on to the street, it is for sale to the highest bidder.  Minimum:  $600.  It is the original assignment of royalties, with my husband Philip K. Dick's signature.  It relates to the novel A Scanner Darkly and the UBIK screenplay.

Auction ends October 5, 2010.

Even a man who is pure in heart - movie review, The Wolf Man (1941)

Recently, a VHS tape of The Wolf Man (1941) came into my hands, so of course I had to watch it.  Several times.  How could I pass up the chance to see Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Raines and Ralph Bellamy working together?  Not to mention some beautiful ladies, plus the incomparable Bela Lugosi and Maria Ouspenskaya! 

The werewolf story that used to strike terror into me when I was a child still terrifies me, but in a different way.  I've come to see it as a morality tale.  The true horror lies in the wolf man's inner struggle with his own conscience.   

The black-and-white cinematography is so masterful that I barely noticed it until the third viewing, when I was consciously looking at it for the purposes of my review.  The same principle applies to the music, which is seamlessly concordant with the story. 

Please take a minute and read my review at Epinions:

Redstone - book review in a hurry

When I saw this title, Redstone, my first thought was rockets.  Nope.  The topic of this book is not science and not even science fiction, but it is a tale full of wonder.  It's about a lost Indian tribe (Native American, that is), and an adventurer who is befriended by a cougar named Kitten. 

No young swashbuckler, our hero is an old man who has lost his job, his wife and his health.  He decides to take matters into his own hands, by the tail or whatever cliche you prefer, and he finds a hidden valley where his life begins anew.

A must read!
