Stars!

To describe something to someone else is one of the key interactions of humanity, and the basis of communication. To quickly do so with a "star rating" may simplify the critical experience, but enables more communication and an ability to compare and contrast.

Now, as a Hurd14er, I can communicate with those about me by using my superior intellect. For example, if Smoov were to ask me, "How was that movie last night?" I wouldn't even need to respond verbally. One look, a simple facial movement or grunt, and he would understand immediately my thoughts and opinion.

But many readers don't have this level of understanding or cognition. So for their pleasure, I am going to review my weekend in star form

Dinner Friday night at Fattoush

2.5 stars out of five,

Decent Middle Eastern food, but docked for two reasons. First they had no Lamb schwarma, which would be like a Mexican restaurant not having tacos. Second the vegitarian deals were basically giant portions of dips, like hummus, baba gannoosh, etc.

State bar Friday night

0 stars. Why would I wait in line for any place in Chicago in february?

Kelley's Pub

3 stars. Totally average Chicago Irish pub with decent beer selection. They did have TVs at each table and the Celtics game was on! Bonus!

Team Fortress 2 on Saturday and Sunday

4 stars. This is one of the greatest video games ever made. Its ruin-you-life good. I would say that my sessions this weekend were ok, on the one hand, I set my record for headshots in one round! Good job me! On the other hand all the time I spent playing this game was time I could have been spending doing something involved with food or sex. That docks me.

Wingfest

3.5 stars. As low a rating as possible for an all you can eat wing extravagannza. I had to wait outside for half an hour, answering my question from before. It was overpriced. Some of the wings were cold and didnt have a ton of meat. But it was still all you can eat fucking wings. Amazing. I will be attending Wings of the World, the best restaurant I sampled of those there, and hopefully having a higher experience

My poop following wingfest

2 stars. Please refer all questions on Poop star ratings to Smoov.

Lost Season One, episodes 16-22

Im giving this 3.5 stars. I have some problems with the show. Its not the flashbacks or the secrets, it's the writing. The only emotions people are capable of feeling are anger, guilt, and jealousy. Right now my least favorite character is Michael, who always is pissed off at everyone and uses his son as a crutch to get his way or make excuses.

The weather in Chicago

0 stars. Im moving to Brazil. How do you say all you can get wings in Portuguese?

I agree. The way people react to things on Lost drives me crazy. And it still happens in season four. But if everyone on TV acted rationally or at least as rationally as people in non TV world, the shows wouldn't be very interesting.
