le cirque-should be called le short

I'm thinking josh must have been in a hurry while writing this section. How else can you explain the complete disregard for detail? It's of if this is the case,but Josh, please give us some sort of warning. The Tiger book report i mentioned before (let's see if we can incoporate that into each blog) was longer than this.

First course notes: This review is effective in that it conveys the critics overall feelings,but it leaves me wanting more. I was also kind of ashamed that I did indeed know Richard form TC 4. This gives me that same kind of guilty feeling I get when watching the new 90210-that Adriana is such a bitch!

Second Course notes: Again, this review is short,but it does get the job done. It also helps paint a picture of the author in Spain. I'd elaborate,but it's in bad taste fo rthe review ot be longer than the original work.

Third Course notes: I'm not sure what's so egregious (big word) about poached chicken,but the critic seems to have major issues with it. I do have to give him props-he makes it sound grosser than Beef Stroganoff night at Beta Sig. Nice detail-and thank you for mentioining that it was restaraunt week. I was wondering how you could afford it after all those sucker bets you made.

Dessert Notes: Again, this seemed a bit rushed,but the 3 sentences did the job so I can't complain. I really enjoyed the football comparison. Nice use of imagery Josh.

Overall thoughts: Well, As I keep saying, this review could have been a lot longer. The Lack of quantity kind of hindered my creative abilities as well. but the quality was there-now we just need to see more of it. Overall, this review was enjoyable, but on the shorter side and left me kind of confused (that's what she said.) Personally I'd compare to to Dude Where's My Car (that's a good thing in my book). I''m also not sure why supposed is in quaotation marks near the end of the review. The sentence reads Basically, you have the opportunity to eat at the “supposed” best restaurants in the city for $35/person. Shouldn't the "" be around best, not supposed. It's kind of like "Why would JERRY bring anything vs why would Jerry bring aything, for all you seinfeld fans". On to the scores

Usefulness: 2-Useful recommendation in that i don't really want to goto this place, but I still don't fully understand why.

Value Added: 5- funny how this worked out. Most places loved this place. Josh provided a different view on it. Gotta give him credit for that.

Decipherability: 4-Very easy to understand. That's all there really is so say.

Humor/ Enjoyment Factor: 1- Maybe it's because it was rushed, but this particular blog had less humor than The Shawshank Redemption. Nothing about it really stuck out at all. Yea, it got the point accross,but I'm looking for entertainment as well. Sorry Critic.

Overall Score: 12/20.
