let's discuss

Yesterday, my cousins and I were watching Ellen DeGeneres, a widely-known lesbian and a comedian, who happened to be performing a stand-up routine. She was hilarious, and the routine was relatively clean.

My Grandma walked in and, being very conservative in her beliefs, demanded that we turn off the TV, because Ellen is a lesbian, and she wouldn't have us watching it in her house.

Is this a correct judgement? Should we stop watching Ellen or any other gays because of the very fact that they are gay, and watching them would indirectly support them and possibly even their lifestyle?

What do you think? This could be a good discussion topic, and is also a good way to see where we all stand on our theology. Is she right? Is she wrong? And why?

The De-Deification of the American Faithscape

Great stuff from Colbert.

By the way, that's the entire Nicene Creed, word for word.

two cents fixed

Thanks to Mr. Quiring's skills, the Two Cents page is up-and-running for all to enjoy, on any browser.

sufjan stevens concert

Sufjan is coming to San Francisco October 11, based off of his brand new album, Avalanche (outtakes from Illinoise). I myself haven't heard it, but knowing Sufjan, it's sure to be marvelous.

Who's in?!?? I'm probably going, and a bunch of fans from my church are going as well. Tickets aren't on sale yet, I'll get those details out as soon as I get them.

regarding "two cents"

Does anyone using FireFox encounter a page that looks like this when you visit the Two Cents page?



It's not supposed to look like that. Here's how it's supposed to look, and how IE is displaying it on this computer:



Let me know if you're encountering this problem, and perhaps offer some insight into why this is happening. I'm hoping this is only a problem with the computer I'm using.

no more navbar

I found CSS code that can get rid of the silly Blogger NavBar at the top of your page. It makes my blog look a bit more legit, I think. You all probably already knew this, and have for one reason or another decided not to do so, but just in case:

#b-navbar {
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none
}

Just paste that anywhere under the styletype="text/css" tag. Nifty stuff.

two cents

My cousin and I have endeavored to start a blog filled with our mutual opinions about various subjects. Some of you might say, "So what? You do that on your blog all the time." You're right. But perhaps you'll like the other blog better.

It's called Two Cents, and since twocents.blogspot.com (which is actually a Canadian guy criticizing American politics) and 2cents.blogspot.com were taken, along with several variation of that theme. We eventually decided to go with jerzjm.blogspot.com (combining both of our names; my cousin's name is jeremy <"jerz"> and of course jm is for yours truly).

So far we have only one post and it's about subway, and we had fun putting it together. The template style is similar to my blog and Matt's, so it's like a fusion of the two, with some original elements as well.

I hope you enjoy it. Jeremy wants to make it a big deal, but we'll see.

Also look forward to the creation of a picture blog (similar to Nick's), just to post up some cool pictures I've been taking lately. I'm REALLY looking forward to photography. Thanks for the inspiration, Nick:)

the devil wears prada

Best movie I've seen all summer, by far. Streep did an amazing job. She was absolutely perfect for the role.

I'll be curteous and not give away any spoilers. But you HAVE to see it.
