Sorry folks, if you are waiting for the results of the contest... I'll definitely post them soon, I had a very. unlucky. day. today.... Please understand!

Gosh, where do I begin? Time for some venting!

I woke up ready to roll and work on my freelancing web stuff, when I noticed my music wouldn't play. I realized my secondary data harddrive was flaking out. Now, if you followed my rants from last week, you'll know that last Thursday my primary harddrive had failed. As if that wasn't bad enough, today, this Thursday, my secondary drive fails! Come on now, can't a hardworking girl get a break? I just rebuilt the main drive! I didn't even get a chance to back up the data drive to the new main drive yet and it fails! Gosh... I guess there is a techie saying that goes like, when one drive fails, the rest go down with it. So I ended up spending half the day running around and buying a drive enclosure and doing data recovery.

As I was in the heat of rsyncing and copying files over, things really started to get hot. I mean, literally. Because my apartment building was on fire!

Whoa! I walked out into a cloud of smoke, so I ran with my two bunnies and caught up with E as he was heading home from work. The flames were from the opposite end of our building. Very fortunately, no one was hurt. We were evacuated for a while but homes were for the most part okay.

Did I say no one got hurt? That was a mistake. My poor bunny, Baby, as he was hopping outside on the grass while we were waiting around, got his paw caught on something, I'm not sure what. His paw started bleeding. :( We took him home when it was safe again and washed him up and patched up his little hand. He's all sulking now...poor Baby!

Man what a day! And I'm still backing up my data. That drive is full of value I cannot afford to lose. I'm running out of drives to back up to and to fail on me!

It seems that everytime I prepare a full list of things to do, those things never end up getting done... I'd like to live a little less spontaneously sometimes, please?

Sorry for being a drama queen in this long rant! *sigh* Better things to come, promise!
