CARS

After assessing the (absolutely horrendous cold, wet, and rainy) weather, Doug and Leif decided to come home early from TOSRV. Leif was dissappointed not to have gotten to do the ride, but I'm glad to have him home.

So... we went on a date. A real, dinner-and-a-movie date. Pizza at Cosmic (what...? It's a good obsession...) followed by the new Pixar/Disney film Cars. It was not only well animated (What else would you expect from Pixar?) and entertaining, but a movie with a good moral, too. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Some of my favorite aspects of the movie? They got Click and Clack - how cool is that? The hippie VW bus hooked on organic fuel and filled with conspiracy theories? Funny. Oh - and the complete mockery of SUV's and their fear of the off-road? Hilarious. Not to mention Pixar's self-deprecating humor at the drive in theater. I won't go into more detail than that - if you haven't seen it, I don't want to ruin it for you.

But if you haven't seen it, do. It's good stuff.
