Every day on my way to work, I pass a church with an electronic sign on its lawn. Recently, I was SHOCKED to see "Pure Sex" flashing on the board. It took me a minute to figure out that they're probably doing a series on sex within marriage or something, but really, couldn't they have thought of a different tagline?
And Porn Sunday? I don't even know what to think of that. First of all, I would argue that church isn't the proper forum to have a discussion about pornography. (And what could they say beyond, "It's wrong"?) Second, couldn't they have thought of a better name for the series? Something less titillating than "PORN SUNDAY"?
Last, I find it mildly amusing that the church's motto is "Loving God, loving people." Sex! Porn! We love people! (Leave your Bibles at the door along with your inhibitions, folks!)

Sunday was nice outside, so my friend Justin and I went downtown to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall (pretty funny). Afterwards, we went to the Lego store in the Nordstrom Mall to wait for Rob.
My friend Katie turns 26 today.
Rob found out about this band from Columbus, Ohio called RedWantingBlue from a friend of his and really likes them. They were playing at a bar called Govnor's Pub way up in Lake in the Hills, IL, which is roughly an hour outside of the city. So Friday after work, I met Rob and we went to his parents' house for dinner before the show. His mom made beef stew, which I ate WAY too much of. R. and I took a nap and then headed out.
RedWantingBlue put on a really good show. Rob compares their sound to the Dave Matthews Band. Me, I'm not sure who I would compare them to (though the lead singer reminds me of the dude from Train). Here is the link to their MySpace page. I think the song "My Alibi" is particularly good.
If you ever get a chance to see them live (and according to their site, they travel all over), I would recommend doing so. The lead singer is super animated and fun to watch.

My friend Dale forwarded me this email from Spirit Airlines regarding
their "MILF" sale. Honestly, you'd think someone in marketing would've
caught this. Dale says:
"Now we can all afford to buy our favorite MILF!! WOO-HOO!!!
America is probably the only country where we can get our
own MILF's for such a great deal!! God certainly has blessed
America."
America is blessed, indeed.
