damn the internet. i actually have had trouble viewing my site because the domain name server was not fully propogated -- in plain english: you guys were seeing my site, but i wasn't (i saw my brb page). and i still don't know if it is fully propogated, but all signs are good this morning so far. what a way to begin my twentyninth year. congratulations to the chicago cubs for beating those stank braves and advancing to the NLCS. and if the red sox win tomorrow, there will potentially be a chance at a historic cubs-sox showdown that i will enjoy watching.
