About Me
- The Restaurant
- I am a small, independently-owned Japanese restaurant, located in a mid-sized city in the American Southwest. I am seven years old. That may sound young to you, but in restaurant years I am considered fully mature. I am not what you’d consider a computer expert, but I have been known to surf the internet from time to time. I am sad to report that I have recently come across some things that I find, well, distressing. I am referring to the proliferation of “restaurant reviews” that have cropped up on various websites. These are often written by people who have an axe to grind and the most tenuous grasp of the basic mechanics of the English language. Many things that they have to say are hurtful to the people that work inside of me and, therefore, to myself. I may be a building, but I have feelings. It has been said that I am more sensitive than most. Perhaps I do not go to the same lengths as other buildings to hide my feelings. Well, if human beings feel they have the right to review restaurants, then should restaurants not be afforded to look upon people with the same scrutiny? I have started People Reviews for this very reason--to give a voice to the voiceless.

ReplyDeleteI recently found your blog via Mather's page. I really like your blog. Thanks for sharing your drawings and words.
ReplyDeleteDread locks on a white guy (or woman), yes it does give a warning.
Mather, I can't believe you remembered that!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, thanks for reading. Now that the holidays are over the updates should be more on the regular side.
Hey Charlotte!
ReplyDeleteRestaurant, I will never forget that line. Also I will never forget "like a hot dog down a hallway" which I recently used in a poem on Blue Jew Yorker. When I hear a good line I remember it and I steal it!
Well, Mather, I can claim ownership to neither of those little gems. I was simply passing them along.
