Okay, I know there are far worse problems to have

but I just Iost the hi-res versions of everything I have  photographed, drawn and recorded in the past year, and it’s going to cost me $200 just to get my machine back with no info (i’m typing this on a 4 year old laptop that doesn’t work unless it’s plugged into the wall.)  I’ve lost at least 5 hoursof untranscribed interviews  that pertain to the current issue of my magazine. 

  I’m aware this is not a tragedy of epic proportions, but it’s incredibly stressful nonetheless, on a strictly personal level. “That’s why you should back up *everything*” or “why didn’t you back up *all* your files” are seriously just the most dickish things you can say to someone who has just had their hard drive and all the info on it die for NO FUCKING REASON.

I know I’m an idiot for only backing up some of my files. Please refrain from being a smughole about it, kay?

/back to crying jags.
