Two tidbits...
First tidbit:
I love Bruno's Pizza, every time we get pizza that's what I want. And I have wanted to go to their buffet for a while now and the starts aligned tonight (so it seemed) and we went. And I can tell you personally it would be very difficult to have a worse experience. First, we go to get the buffet and David is with us and he thought it looked good, that (the buffet) was the reason we went, and Autumn was unsure. Knowing that Autumn has a tough time with decisions we decided to do it...bad idea.
The paste was bad (per David), the meatballs were less than desirable (per Matt and David), the pizza dough tasted a little bit like beer (per David), there were no bread sticks that we personally asked the waitress if there would be (Autumn's one lone bright spot for going to Bruno's) and overall we were definitely let down. So we asked the waitress if we could change and just order a pizza and bread sticks and maybe they could charge us for a large pizza and get a small and it would even out, she said she would look into it. While she is doing this we found out there are no free refills on drinks (our drinks are already gone) and we can't pay with a debit card unless our order is $50 or more (we ALWAYS PAY WITH DEBIT) and now we have to wait for them to cook us a pizza.
Things were looking down until our bread sticks arrived which were amazing. We wait some more and get our pizza and the waitress brings us new drinks (at this point we are confused if they are buffet drinks, which are included? or are they by the glass?) and we eat. We are ready to go and the waitress brings us our bill and said that she had to charge us $1.50 a piece since we had some of the buffet already and that she felt bad so our drinks are free. We look at the bill and our DRINKS ARE NOT FREE!!! We even got charged for Becka's drink which the waitress said was free on the buffet. I asked the waitress about this and she said that she had given us the drinks with the buffet for free but we were charged for the refills...???? WE NEVER ASKED FOR REFILLS, SHE JUST BROUGHT THEM TO US!!!
So we go to pay our bill and I try to ask the check out lady (who happens to be the owners wife) why our bill was so large, even larger than if we had only had buffet. I asked her if she could just charge us for the buffet since all we got was get a pizza brought to us (which Pizza Hut would do for you) and then had bread sticks but we had nothing else on the buffet? SHE WENT CRAZY ON US telling us that she knew who we were and that our waitress was related to the owner and that we weren't satisfied and blah, blah, blah! Yea she is right we aren't satisfied!!! Then David was like this is unbelievable, and the lady is like what? And he said, this is unbelievable!!! I like there food, but neither I nor Autumn, nor David will ever eat at that restaurant again (the one on Praire St.) and that experience will give me second thoughts every time I order there, and Autumn had a hard enough time before since she doesn't really care about their food, she was just letting me get my craving in..................Anyway, it will be the last time we eat there for a while. And that friends in tidbit number one.
Second tidbit, or Tidbit number 2:
We watched Deja Vu tonight and it was definitely interesting...At the end (WARNING I AM GOING TO BLOW THE ENDING...IF YOU WANT TO WATCH IT DON'T READ THIS) Denzel is taken back in time and before he goes the guy is like be careful you could end up looking over yourself in the morgue. This is a strange idea because the talked about the way we see time and life is a linear path, like a river going on it's course. However, if you alter time then it is similar to breaking off a new path for the river, the question is what happens to the old path? Does it keep on going or does the old one dry up? Anyway lot's of idea's and theories (assuming time travel exists) but the end result is this: If you are alive and you go back then you could alter time, but it seems to reason (and the movie would almost certainly hold this view) that only one of you can exist. So if person A goes back in time alive then he would die at some point before the time that he had lived (in the movie this is 4 days and 6 or 12 hrs, I don't remember, which also is the only amount of time that they could go back to) an interesting theory then would be that if they sent somebody back that was dead then at some point that person would have the opportunity to allow the person that went back into time to live and then the person that had come out of time originally would still be dead and thus time would be able to continue with only one of you. I have to admit, this type of thinking movie is what I really get into AND this story was very well done. At the end of the movie I wasn't so impressed with the movie as I was the story...even though Denzel usually ends up being the man in movie's (he does a pretty good job), but at the end of the movie I wasn't thinking about him or the movie itself, I was thinking about the story...And that was very good for a change.
bonus Tidbit:
We rented and watched Miss Potter (for Autumn) and while Autumn would never watch it again (she even said so) and David probably feels roughly the same way, I didn't find it a total waste of time and I think Renee Z. fit the part good and there were definitely life lessons that you may only pick out if you are going through those lessons (which I am)...And for that reason I am not disappointed that I watched it, some may even call me glad...But I wouldn't go that far (heaping the movie with praise) as it was still only what it was...A movie that told a story of a story telling lady, who was from the aristocrat era, and that era just doesn't excite me much.
