Voyagers!

georgia is a beautiful state: trees, sun, lots of people and lots of history. today we went to a walmart that was way too big, and a target that was average-sized. guess which one didn't have what we were looking for? at target, i got a soft pretzel that was not as good as the amish market but surely passable. i also got a shirt which will remain undescribed, as i will be sharing it with christin and i kind of want it to be a surprise. i'll be wearing it on monday, so look forward to that, honey. ;-D we went back to the house and watched another old t.v. show.

watching someone else's nostalgia is interesting. of course i can't get as into it as they can, but i can understand what they're feeling because i have similar shows that evoke similar reactions. it's like empathetic bonding and associative connection when i watch 'tales of the gold monkey' and the one we watched today, 'voyagers!' which is basically like dr. who only they are fixing history similar to what the bronze dragonflight is doing in azeroth... only you never really run into the infinite flight that are messing things up. they just get messed up.

anyway, it was cool. we had dinner at an amazingly good restaurant called little szechuan, which is a chinese pet peeve of mine. if you're going to romanize a chinese name, why wouldn't you make it easy to read? why would you use polish phonemes instead of just writing it like we write the name of the region the food is from, 'sichuan'? whatever. the food was phenomenal. it's on the martin yan [of yan can cook fame] top 100 chinese restaurants in america list. we had a lot of leftovers, so i'm hoping to bring some up to christin when i drive back monday.

tomorrow is sunday, and i'm not exactly sure where i'll be going. i want to go to the o.p.c. that's like 40 minutes north, but we'll see. matt goes to a 'house church' for lack of a better word, and i am not really interested in going, honestly. church government is important to me, and i'm loyal to my denomination at this point. but just the same, i don't want to offend my brother-in-law. if he's cool with it, i guess, i'll probably go to the o.p.c. if i am up to the drive. anyway, i'm beat and it's bedtime. goodnight, everyone.
