Yargh! File backup snafu

Before I begin:  HOLY CRAP, this song rocks.

Apparently, when I backed up some of my documents, the hard drive was too far gone to pick up on a few updates to it.  At the very least, I can remember what I did and probably get it down better than what I did before.  I remember in the initial draft of the updates, the writing was actually kind of clunky and unwieldy, so when I get it down I will have to clean it up and go again.  I remember getting it down as fast as I could manage to make my fingers go.

The upside is that, especially where a certain pivotal scene is concerned, I can make it flow better and make it make more sense in the context of the story.  But…I'm going to have to give up quite a few off days to catch up with where I left off on this one.  It was at least twenty pages of standard single-spaced typing.

But if I just rant about it, I won't catch up to where I left off, will I?  It's time to get started again.  Especially now that I do in fact have the absolute perfect playlist for this mission.

Just that I think this is cool

I know, I'm practically self-spamming here, but I have to just give a shoutout to something that I think is just plain cool, and that would be Last.fm.

I just joined a few days ago, and have been working to add as many of my favorite artists that I can think of to my library, and so I haven't had much time to listen to some of the stuff that I've got up yet—that and I'm still tripping off of "Trail of Stars"—but I just looked at what I've got so far…

Actually, I had been trying to go into my recommendations, and wound up clicking the wrong thing entirely, but man, it was worth it.  I hadn't realized that other people could waltz in and listen to your library.  It's pretty cool, that right there.  I guess I'm not nuts.

See, if you've ever read me you know my music taste is—ahem—rather eclectic, and almost impossible to define consistently.  What with there being a place where I could go and listen to whatever catches my fancy, even if it's relatively obscure.

Of course I dont' log on without something to take notes with.  There's so much that I want to get my hands on in hard copy that I can't remember it all!
