Layout tweaked and other BS

I fiddled with my layout again. Same design, but I changed the sidebar. I curved it along the top, and then lightened the color a bit (thanks to a comment from bunnyohare).

I pushed the navigation links up to the right side of the header image. Didn't plan it that way, but it actually works very well with the half logo there. Plus, I rather like having the title of my page in one neat package all by itself without the links messing with it.

I think I like version 2.0 better than the original one. Comments?

• I've been working through plot holes in my head for my Nano. I haven't written it all down yet, but I'll get around to it one of these days. I'm planning on getting caught up during Thanksgiving vacation, which starts next Thursday for me (four-day weekend).
• I uploaded a bunch of new icons (including this lovely specimen featuring the lovely Bill Kaulitz of TH). *points to entry icon*
  
  
• My mother's been driving me insane with her comments making fun of my new favorite band. It's a debate every day. Her current most favorite way to bug me is to ask about "that Tokio Rose band." When asked, she said she likes Tokio Rose better as a band name because it fits the lead singer better. *sigh*
  
  One day last week she got into a debate with me over the gender of the lead singer (if you're confused, he's the one with the black hair that often resembles a lion mane). Then I told her the lead singer and lead guitarist (the one with dreadlocks) were identical twins...
  
  Mom: No they are not twins. Look at them!
  Saifai: Oh yes they are. I've got photographic proof!
  Mom: *looks at pictures* I don't see it. Are you sure that one is a boy?
  Saifai: *rolls eyes* Yeesss, Mom.
  Mom: Hmph. Well I still say they're not identical. *points* That one has a smaller nose.
  Saifai: *sigh* There's only two difference between them, that I know of. *holds up two fingers* Two!
  Mom: Riiight. Like one has a vagina and the other doesn't?
  Saifai: *head.desk*


LOL - That's my Mom for you. But I gotta love her. She keeps me smiling, I'll give her that.

Well damn.

Got a virus.

I tried to play an episode of Chuck I'd downloaded. Windows media player was the only one that would open it, saying it was an HD file. It said I needed to download a new codec, so I did.

Then I shut down the player and opened the file again, and it popped up a message saying there was a new update for security risk.

Clicked on that one.

Big mistake. Turned out to be a virus. A self-restoring Trojan. *head.desk*

I'm still trying to get the damn thing off. I've got a virus scan running, Spybot doing several scans, and I keep getting Windows popping up a message telling me to install some anti-virus software to get rid of it.

After being dropped a virus by Windows Media Player, I'm not so sure I trust Windows right now.

*sigh* Why me.

Did I mention I had been watching the downloaded episodes with my Mother while the virus started popping up internet windows featuring porn sites?

*looks for a wall to hit head against*
