Yep, still up. When I checked my email, I discovered yet another declined charge (this time, my preorder for the Egao music DVD at AnimeJungle), and being so close to AX, I -needed- to check up on that right away. I called Visa, and after bouncing around the menu system for a while, then being connected to an advisor, then being transferred to another system, I finally figured out what was wrong - when the (failed) Konamistyle charge attempt occured, that lit up a caution flag because it was from a different country, a different currency, and they didn't send a merchant name for their request (probably because it was a pre-auth and not designed to be a final charge). So, they were waiting for me to call them and tell them that I was still in possession of my own card.

Since they know the card is still mine to use, hopefully it shouldn't be declined left and right anymore. -_- I already had to divert the Konamistyle order to the check card because of this.

I noticed Nugget has already direct-linked one of the gallery images - do note that I do frown upon direct-linking of images, but I'll let this one slide, mostly because I'm too sleepy to do anything about it ^^; (And it -is- a cute picture...)
