There have been some complaints that the tagboard host has been causing some problems (setting off browser security alarms, virus warnings, etc.)

The tagboard has been taken down from both Bizarre Uprising and I Heart Disappointment until further notice. If you think your computer has been affected, be sure to install a virus scanner and protect yourself! I use and recommend AVG (it's free).

Also, make sure you're using a safe browser! Most recommend Firefox. If you use IE, install the latest security patch ASAP. There is a SEVERE security hole in IE that needs immediate attention. You can get it either by running Windows Updates, or by downloading it from the link below.

Stay safe and have a great holiday!

Yup, it's that time again. Time for holiday themed filler images! Since it's Christmas this week, have some Awesome Cops!

So yeah, this past weekend I had early Christmas for my mom's side of the family and my late birthday, which we managed to still have despite the fact that it wouldn't stop damn snowing. I got Tales of Symphonia for Wii from Gil, and Persona 4, complete with the Amazon bonus swag kit from my parents, and some Christmas money that I used to buy the season 7 Dragon Ball Z set today. Then I went home and had to shovel out a parking space for my car, since they hadn't replowed yet. FUN!

Of course, what's REALLY fun, in a non-sarcastic sense, is that I only have to work two days this week and then I'm on my Christmas vacation, which I could really use right about now.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas or whatnot!
