everything but the kitchen sink

First off - You don't need one of those dream books I don't actually buy into to interpret this dream. I was judging a 'research project' science fair but somehow I was also in the contest (yeah that's fair) and none of the projects made any sense and all the other judges were angry and so was I because what my team presented wasn't what I had in mind.

The dream then morphed into me and evil_little_dog driving through a town I had never seen but obviously lived there. She dropped me off at the a clothing store and drove off to do another chore before picking me up. Well all the stores were closed because of a water break except for the pastry store/catering service who practically forced me inside. I was like okay I need a pack of birthday invitations and maybe some pastries for the party (which must have been why I needed a dress at the clothing store). The older woman started talking to me and I was looking at invitations while she got me samples of their wares, a mushroom appteizer the size of a turnover. She wanted me to have a glass of water and I kept saying no, it's no good. There's a water break. She had just talked me into some invites that had a complimentary sweater tossed in for 20$. That's when her partner(possibly daughter) came in and snatched the invoice up and started screaming that it was too cheap and she didn't want to have to move her business and I was thinking you're such a bitch I'm not buying anything now. Then the older lady gave me a mint sample but it wasn't done and she was trying to tell me how to finish cooking hte mints and her partner kept telling me how wrong she was and I was thinking, but they're already mint-shaped how can i cook them. I just ran back out in the rain to wait for ELD

and what I'm watching on TV My flist is cut into two. There is no middle of the way either you love it or hate it. I'm with the hate it crowd more that love it. I WANTED to love this. I'm a big Terminator fan. But this, I find everyone utterly abrasive. They break their own rules all the time (one minute Summer's character can fit into a high school since she had been waiting for John for some time next minute she can't for example), the idea of Summer Glau as 15/16 is laughable. Sorry, she's ten years too old and looks it. I see no reason not to have hired a young actress.

That said I don't mind Summer in this. Unlike my flist I'm not a fan. I don't think she acts very well but wooden works here. The actress playing the mom...i just don't like her much and I can't put my finger on why. John's alright, not tremendously bright about things he should be but he's supposed to be a teen and they are known for impulsive stupidity so I can forgive that. I liked this past week's a little better but I'm just not clicking with anyone. I'll be glad to have the shows returning so I won't feel too obligated to watch this. Also, I know it's an expensive FX but did they say why none of these terminators have liquid metal?
