There are officially five, yes five, days remaining before the first chance of "correct taste" for our latest homebrew beer. Maida has insisted on opening a bottle after one week of waiting (tomorrow) and I can only pray that we are not disappointed.
We have followed every direction as precisely as possible and yet I have a growing suspicion that something will go (has already gone) terribly wrong. With our anal-ity for directions in mind, I can only assume that any misfortune is a direct result of God personally damning us both.
I will comment/repost when the abomination has had time to fully mature. Please put us in your prayers.
On side note, I saw There Will Be Blood for the first time last night. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it all day and I don't expect tomorrow or the next to be any different.
Edit 3/23/08 - Jon just told me that an inside source informed him that Porters and Stouts need to sit in the bottle for around 2 months. So... T-Minus 1 month and 21 days?

P.S. Watch this until the end. You'll be treated.

Earlier this month, social networking giant, MySpace, deleted the 35,000 member, "Atheist and Agnostic Group," for the second time since November 2007. What's especially interesting about this group is that it was the largest collection of Atheists and Agnostics in the world. It even has its own Wikipedia page. The group was awarded the "Excellence in Humanist Communication Award" in 2007 from Harvard University.
MySpace admits that the group was not in violation of the Terms of Service but that other users found Atheism, in general, to be offensive. Unfortunately, the minor trim ended up being more of a clear cutting. One affected user writes:
“My personal profile was deleted as well, and despite weeks of emails to customer service, plus a petition signed by 500 group members, MySpace won’t budge."
It remains to be seen whether the group will reorganize for a third time. Either way, it's a shame that a mainstream media outlet like News Corp would display such intolerance of the millions of godless Americans.
