Entries/Sidebar, image and comment problems!

[spacepirate179]

My first post here, so I hope I do this right. I'll try to give as much information as possible according to the rules ^_^; sorry if it's too wordy.

Right now I have a free account because my paid account just expired, but I'm getting that renewed a.s.a.p.
My browser is Safari 1.3.2 and my theme is Pixipets Death (Mixit) with three columns+content on left layout.

For spacepirate179's layout my problems are

1. The image is repeating twice, once to the left (which is where I want it) and once in the center (where I don't want it).
2. I wish to move the entries and sidebars up and to the right, is this possible?
3. The text is overlapping the images in some places. --SOLVED! Sankyuu!
4. The little grim reaper-y guy is overlapping an image. --SOLVED! Sankyuu!
5. Lastly, I wondered if when you go to leave or read comments, how can I keep my journal style without going to Livejournal's layout? the url says "style=mine" but it doesn't show mine. --SOLVED! Sankyuu!

To help you see what I mean, here's a picture of how I want it+where the text and image is overlapping...




That is how I want the entries and sidebar to be alongside the image. I circled in red where the scythe dude and the text is overlapping.

Any ideas how I can fix this? I've tried a few different things but this is as close as I can get it. Here is my CSS so far...
