church this morning was much needed and fantastic. we talked about sin, its allure, and why we choose it despite the fact that God is the only true Father of lights who gives every perfect gift. we prefer the false gifts of the evil one, being deceived that we will find lasting pleasure in what only amounts to spiritual death in the end. need proof that God is indeed the One who provides great gifts? look to the cross. couldn't have said it better myself, pastor taylor. he ended the sermon abruptly after making a statement similar to that, because he simply couldn't think of a better way to end it, and he said the rest of his outline would've been anti-climactic.
after church, we had lunch and chatted with friends there before heading home for a brief nap [well, christin napped — i swooned over potential new p.c. builds that i can't afford]. then we went to see sucker punch, which was highly entertaining but lacking in character development. still, we as humans like to see people fighting and triumphing over evil despite the one-dimensional characters acting them out. very stunning visual effects, cool concept practically stolen from an anime, and it was overall just... really entertaining. went with free movie tickets from the parents, from xmas. thanks, mom and dad!
once the movie was out, it was time for dinner. i planned on going home, but christin insisted that if i were going to use the outing for my rtotd today, i had to take her out to dinner instead. so i did! we went to friday's, one of our favorite spots to hit for relatively inexpensive and always tasty dining, and that was cool. we waited a bit long because apparently some servers called in sick and they were way understaffed. they were nice, though, and the manager gave us some $10 coupons for next time [two of them] as a bit of compensation. we probably won't use them because they expire in like 3 weeks [and we don't go out for dinner much], but it was a nice gesture anyway, i think. good on them!
came home, christin went to bed, i drooled over more computer builds and now i'm basically just procrastinating by writing this, when i should be doing homework. i'm getting really tired now, so i should probably get on that. i've got a quiz to take, and tomorrow is going to be a ridiculous day. i open the store at 9am, have to go to the post office on the way home, work on my paper, all while finding time to make my monday video. aiya, that's going to be a tall order. if i make it out of tomorrow with everything done, i'll be quite amazed. goodnight.
rtotd #0010 - dinner [friday's] and a movie [sucker punch].
