Any ideas?
My sidebar (the part with all the links) shows up correctly on Internet Explorer, but on Firefox, it doesn't show up until the bottom of the page. What's up with that?

If I hadn't just renewed my domain for another year, I'd move this whole thing to blogspot or wordpress or something. *sigh*

edit: Thank you, Dan!

October, and the trees are stripped bare
How is it mid-October already, y'all? Where is the year going? Half of my favorite month is already over, and I haven't even had a chance to enjoy it yet.

Well, that's not totally true. This weekend was pretty fun. My friend Mark came up from Austin for a visit, and we watched a lot of baseball, ate a lot of food, went to a terrible movie, and (of course) played Rock Band.

And Saturday, while the Texas/OU game was on (I'm not a big football fan), my friend Jake and I went to the Oak Cliff Urban Bazaar. We took Murphy, who was pretty annoying but still won the hearts of everyone in the crowd. Even if he did accidentally poop in some crafter's stall. Sorry about that, random lady!

Sunday, after Mark left, Victor and I went on the Old Oak Cliff Conservation League Fall Home Tour. We saw some really amazing homes, some of which were quite expensive. One of my favorites, however, was less than $100K more than our house (maybe much less), so one can dare to dream that we could upgrade to a nice house like that someday. We came away from the experience with a lot of house envy.

Mark spent a lot of the weekend teasing me about Twilight, which I suppose is warranted. After viewing the full trailer, I'm not sure about this movie. I've got a long history of hating movie adaptations anyway, so this will be nothing new to me. But I really wanted the film to be good. I'm hoping it will be. I'll still probably laugh my way through it, even if it is cinematic genius. How can you not???

This afternoon, as I was driving home from work, I started thinking of the music Top Ten I'll be doing this year. Yes, I guess it's time to start thinking about that again. I kind of want to do a sort of cultural roundup at the end of the year, too... like how many plays I've seen, museum visits I've made, concerts I've attended, that sort of thing. I could include books, film, tv... so many possibilities! And I could rank them. I like ranking things anyway. What do you think? (I promise I'll try to make it funny and not as pretentious as it currently sounds.)

Oh, and by the way, suck it up, Red Sox. Seriously, WTF?
