Mexican food
Thurday's dinner, we went to La Salsa, a loud restaurant on Rocky Creek Chase to celebrate Hannah's anniversary.
I ordered the quesadillas and Hannah ordered the chili. Hannah never had chili, but it was quite good. I recommend La Salsa to everyone.

'Domino': a nice movie
Katie and I saw a screening of Domino last night. Good movie.
Keira Knightley's performance is enjoyable. Keira Knightley delivered a rather gratifying performance too.

I think my expectations were high, as I only found it ok, but not the big deal that everyone was talking about.
