So, yeah, we flaked last week. Holiday weekends are always a good excuse, right?
We've always been of the opinion that people who do an excess of reviews (movie critics, people employed as food critics, etc) often lack perspective and, therefore, the ability to make their judgments relevant to the common reader. Simply put, if you watch as many movies as Roger Ebert or eat as much great food as Michael Bauer (who we love, btw), you're just making your determinations from an entirely different plane.
Your Trimethyldioxypurist? Well, we'll admit, we're a full-blown caffeine addict. Hard core. As in, drinking strong coffee brings us to a semblance of a normal human being. We need it to function. We may be coming at it from a different place than some of you.
Note to fellow caffeine addicts with desk jobs: watch those pre-coffee emails. Maybe hold off on communicating during the hours of 3:30 p.m.-5 p.m. as well, unless you have time to work in a second cup. (.
We won't lie: caffeine fiends can be testy. Caffeine fiends can be very possessive and protective. Caffeine fiends can even be a little overly grateful sometimes. In the interest of full disclosure, examples follow of why you might not trust us at times, though it is certainly not the Trimethyldioxypurist's intent to mislead anyone.
Two mini-reviews and more incoherent rambling after the jump.
