Cross browser themes…

So, I had been running the same WP theme for a few months and not until yesterday did I decide to visit my own website using IE… what a monstrosity. The right column showed up at the very end of the page and a few things just looked out of order. Basically, it seems to be related to a way that IE handles some CSS, as opposed to Firefox and Opera. Needless to say, I’ve picked up a new theme called Barthelme and I’m really digging it. I might need to tinker with it a bit, but overall my site looks a lot better than it did before.

On a totally unrelated note, work has been kicking my butt. While I am one to usually turn the other cheek, I’m kicking butt at work too. It’s a vicious cycle of violence. :-)

Fort Worth Zoo Run Run 2008

Last weekend a couple of friends and I ran this 10k race. The weather was great, but the course not so much. It was really hilly and took a huge toll on you specially when going down hill. Overall, my time improved by around 30 seconds, which isn’t much. Will aim to bring my time considerably at the next race. :-)

Customary action shot below, honestly I look like death, but felt pretty good. I just can’t seem to take good action shot pictures.

PS: I will never run with a cotton shirt again and this is the first time I’ve ever ran with my IPOD, not sure how I feel about it.

Butterfly Boogie Customary Action Shot

David on the go. This is the customary action shot. I love the fact that they have photographers along the course just taking pictures of you. I only notice them when I’m right next to them so I’ve never really had a good action shot. Like this picture, I always look like I’m about to fall over, but I promise you that was not the case for this race. If anything I felt great and I’m ready to go on to the half marathon.

Happy runnings,

Boy Kill Boy – Shoot Me Down

Personally, the lead singer of BKB sounds just like Chris Martin from Coldplay and I dig that. Both have great voices. While the lyrics aren’t great, the melody/harmony are. Enjoy this little known song.

It’s hard to say how I fit in the line
I lost my way lost my way my own mind
You should have left should have left on time
Its no mistake no mistake of mine

Shoot me down
When I hate to see you drown
I didn’t do didn’t do didn’t do
I didn’t do this for you
Didn’t say didn’t say didn’t say
I didn’t say this was too good
Didn’t do didn’t do didn’t do
I Didn’t do this for you
Didn’t say didn’t say

You never knew never knew never knew
You never should never should never should
I needed someone, someone to be here always
When the suns down, someone to pick up pieces

Shoot me down when I hate to see you drown
I didn’t do didn’t do didn’t do
I didn’t do this for you
Didn’t say didn’t say didn’t say
I didn’t say this was too good
Didn’t do didn’t do didn’t do
Didn’t do this for you

Now shoot me down when I hate to see you drown

Its hard to say how I feel in this life
I lost my way lost my way my own mind
