thunderstruck

i don’t know what to do.  i think it may have something to do with the thunderstorm.  at least that’s what the physicist guy from my work tells me.  but he’s kind of weird.

i probably should have posted this a week ago, but i’m that lazy.  i plugged my external hard drive into my computer and, horror of horrors, i got nothing.  no icon on the desktop.  the little power light was on, i could hear it spinning, and i doubt there’s anything wrong with both of the firewire ports on my computer, so i’m not really sure what to say.  i just really can’t have that drive die on me.  i got it four years ago, so it has a ton of old stuff-  recordings of me playing guitar, old pictures of me and my shitty old band, a few websites i had built, old receipts and financial records (still haven’t done my taxes this year), ALL of my music, and worst of all- my secret project.  i had been working on some stuff and a redesign of this dated monstrosity.

now what?  try to take it somewhere to get fixed?  it almost seems like that would be admitting defeat and the possibility that i may never get my shit back.  so instead i’m going to give him a beer and hope he comes around.
