It is very difficult to write a review for a place where I can’t describe a positive aspect of the dining experience.  This is, however, one of those reviews.

First, the service was bad.  Really bad.  The waitress was missing for twenty minute intervals.  Second, the food was terrible.  Third, the dessert was horrible.  This is one of the first times that I have ever had ice cream that tasted bad.  Has anyone else had nasty ice cream before?
One star.  (max five.)

What was really annoying about this movie were the multitudinous unnecessary elements that were constantly being introduced (i.e. crazy old woman with doll in bedroom, the guy calling Alma’s phone, etc.).  It is almost as if M.N.S. put a bunch of nouns in a Santa hat and drew them out to fill the boring plot.

Basically, this movie is like paying for an expensive nap, and the only other thing I regret after seeing it is that I didn’t have a third thumb to give this crap three thumbs down.

Heights, snakes, and distrust are my biggest fears in life. I left radical fundamentalists off this time. Given the past situation I just got out of, nothing makes me more uncomfortable than being around a person who is not genuine. Whenever someone blatantly misleads me and others, I clearly see the same person that I’m glad that I will never have to see again. Whether it be something important or minuscule, lying just makes things so unnecessarily complicated with regards to friendships, relationships, conversations, etc. It just adds to the insecurity of others around us. Nothing is more frustrating than having a person portray conflicting accounts of a single situation. It’s the hardest thing to forgive, and it’s just something I don’t have to put up with anymore.

The way I grew up, I was always taught that credence is an aspect that is demonstrated and earned by a person. So with that said, it is pretty much impossible for me to blindly trust a person that I have not known for a long time. Some people have told me that this is not a good ideology to follow, but it is what continually works for me.

Granted, no one tells the truth one hundred percent of the time, I do not believe it is too much to ask of a person to at least try to be consistently accurate in their accounts. On the bright side, I do have the option to select the people I associate myself with, and that is the only way I can combat a situations like that.

In closing, the fastest way to lose our good character is to lose our honesty and trust. I may not be able to trust everyone, but I can always trust a dishonest person to be untrustworthy.

For the vegetarians, there is a huge salad bar with a large variety of choices which usually includes black beans, rice, sauteed mushrooms, lobster bisque, and other sides that I cannot remember off the top of my head (mainly because I don’t like salad).

The service at TdB is top notch and what you would expect from a tablecloth restaurant of this caliber.

With a decent champagne selection, the tab is usually around $250 with gratuity automatically added.

Five stars. (max five.)

I ordered the red beans and rice, sausage, & swamp stew.  The date ordered the blackened chicken w/ rice, swamp stew, & beignets.  Checks were rarely above $30 not including tip.

This was the place to write home about if you love New Orleans cuisine or Creole cuisine.  It has since been replaced by the Black Bean Cafe.

Four stars. (max five.)

I ordered the Pork w/ spring greens & mango sauce.  The date ordered the tortilla crusted chicken.  Both were fantastic.   Expense was just above $75 without tip & including wine.  This is probably my favorite place to dine in Tallahassee ever since Good Time Charlie’s closed.

Four stars.   (max five.)

<?sarcasm Anyway, I picked up a Les Paul Guitar Hero 3 guitar for my PC today since I recently purchased a copy of the game from Pirate Bay. Let me tell you, Pirate Bay is unrivaled concerning software slickdeals. If it’s ever possible to download hardware, I would likely recommend PB to anyone who inquires. ?>

Normally, I am not interested in playing games like GH3, but after playing Rock Band, I think I’m hooked (at least for a little while). Part of me is interested in getting better at the game, but I am mostly interested in simply having the opportunity to pretend that I can play my favorite songs on a fake guitar. With that said, I’ve actually considered purchasing a cheap guitar to learn to read music again. It’s amazing how unused knowledge becomes so unfamiliar after so much time away.
