Have you seen this trailer? I went to see Terminator Salvation on Monday, and when I saw this trailer, I immediately wished that I was seeing Surrogates instead. It may be Bruce Willis' best movie since 12 Monkeys (which I saw on the UT movie channel in the dorms at least three times).



Terminator, on the other hand, was ok. It seemed more like an episode in a long series than an actual definitive sequel. Maybe because they were trying to hard to keep it open-ended so they can make more sequels and thus, more $$.

This past weekend, my mom and sister came up to visit, along with my sister's 2 week old bottle baby kitten, currently named "Lump." See her picture on my flickr, or here!

We went to Scarborough Faire on Sunday, which is the Renaissance Festival near Dallas, and I was quite tempted to go again Monday. Aaron and I were able to get 4 tickets for $40 online right before we went, so we saved about 50%. While there, the four of us ate two spinach pochettes, a sausage on a stick, a baked potato with the works (which apparently includes a single broccoli stalk garnish), two orders of fried pickles, and a meatball pochette. I think that's it... Oh wait, also Aaron and I shared a strawberry italian ice on an orange half, and we all shared two bottles of RC cola. The wonders that met our eyes at the festival included smoke bubbles, birds of prey, and a pewter creature vendor who asked me, "Young Lady, where did you get those sunglasses?", and then informed me that they were looking for a pair of green aviators.

Aaron has said two funny things lately by accident (and probably countless funny things on purpose...but those don't count).

First, as we were doing the Scarborough Faire ticket exchange at a gas station, Aaron asked the guy (a middle-aged guy with piercing blue eyes in spite of his brown hair) how he won them (at a dance contest) pondered the tickets and said, "They look pretty legit..." Looking hurt, the guy replied, with slight indignance, "They are." Pretty hilarious, since Aaron meant for it to be an internal conversation, but it slipped out.
>>Then later in the car, we wondered whether the man would have been willing to give us a little display of his dancin' skills that he won the dance contest with, to prove the tickets were for real. Such indignity for just $40, doing a jig at a Valero gas station.<<

And then yesterday, we went to On The Border, and when the host asked us whether we wanted to sit inside or outside, Aaron asked, "If it starts to rain, can we come inside?" The host just said, "Sure!" But it cracked me up, because what are they going to do, bar the doors?
