Three-day weekends = WIN

I sent in my registration for Berkeley, for two events. And yes, Master Chen is working with me on both of them. :D The hard part will be dividing my time between the two of them, but they're moving me through Nanquan faster already, so I'm pretty confident we'll get it done and ready. :)

3-day weekends are so great. Admittedly, Saturday was kind of boring, because everything we tried to do that evening was crowded, expensive, and/or annoying in some way. We'd originally planned to go to the Gorge overnight, but I got bogged down with wushu practice and meetings and house-related errands, so by the time I was done, we wouldn't have gotten out to the Gorge early enough to do anything.

Disappointing, but we made up for it with a couple hours of hiking in Forest Park the next day. :) There are so many trails in that area that I wonder if we'll ever cover them all. It was incredibly squishy and muddy, which it seems to be every time we go up there, but it was still good to get out and about in the fresh air. And when we got back, I warmed up with tomato soup and totally awesome grilled cheese sandwiches. (Willamette Valley havarti, with dill and a bit of mayo and garlic... ommmmnomnom)

Did brunch with katlyn at Bread & Ink on Monday, which was happy-making. I can tell that I've been hanging around with dudes for too long, because I'm more often doing the male thing of interrupting people, rather than waiting my turn to talk, heh. :) Gaw, totally need more lady contact. And it was so nice to hang out in an environment that *wasn't* ridiculously noisy and crowded.

We also did a bit of idle shopping at Alteration Nation. I'd made a rule that I'm only buying long-sleeved tops right now, because that's the only thing I'm truly lacking... so I didn't end up finding anything. Which is probably good. XD I did get motivated enough to pick out and hang some drapes in the downstairs later on, though, and everyone gives the new look a hearty thumbs-up. It definitely feels much more like a room. Now, I just have to decide what to do for the front-window drapes.

ALSO: Thanks to the hair competition photoshoots I did recently, I have an appointment for a free-of-charge full cut and color tomorrow afternoon. Woo! I have no idea what to ask for, though, because all I know is that I want to keep it long for a while. But, I can go nuts on the color, if I want to, so *that's* the hard part. My first instincts are pink or blue, which I haven't done before, or maybe orange, since my last flirtation with orange faded really quickly.

I am totally open to ideas, if anyone has them.

Hey fellow web-monkeys

Question: have any of you had difficulties using min-height CSS with Firefox 3?

It's the weirdest thing: I posted our wedding photography website, and it seems that the only browser in which the footer *doesn't* stick to the bottom is Firefox 3. It looks to me like min-height isn't working as it should on the #main div, so the footer doesn't get bumped down.

Srsly, this is nuts. It even works in Google Chrome and IE7! Jeez. You do have to have a larger screen res to see it happen, though, so I guess it could be worse.
