Ah-Yup, It's A Monday

So the drive died.

I got everything I could off it, most everything that I needed with the exception of a very few recent vocals and one mix I can recreate. Reformatted, checked for integrity, tried to write to it twice and it hung. Sigh.

I might go get another drive today. I might not. Money's a touch tight until Dragon*Con. Not a huge crisis. But an annoyance. THANK GOD it was only an annoyance. I backed up 99% of my recordings to another drive two weeks ago, a drive I hardly ever use except for backups, and I didn't lose, oh, all the tracks for the last few albums.

I did liberate myself from a buttload of old game files I was never going to go back to. Some multimedia, downloaded movies and such, that I won't really miss. The last four install packages of Open Office. Psh-yeah, like I was going back to 1.1.1 anytime soon.

All in all, I got off lucky. This time.

So, how's your Monday?

Pretty Frickin' Much

This sums up last week nicely.
