RIP Hard Drive

The hard drive in my MacBook died two days ago, turning the linchpin of my scholastic abilities into a $1500 paperweight. It also made all of the information present on it disappear faster than you can say "AIG." This included my homework, the novel I've been working on for four years, and everything else I've ever written.

Fortunately, I've been backing up my computer to an online Apple server every night for the past six months, and my Dad has been kind enough to wrestle with the service in an attempt to restore my information. Mad upz to Dad for that one. The good news is that I'll be getting everything back - novel, homework, my entire writing history. The bad news is that until I get my computer back from Apple, I'm going to have to be a computer hobo, looking at porn in the library and writing blogs on The Girlfriend's (currently functioning) MacBook.

So this is your Saturday update - hopefully next time you're here, there will be something else. If this wasn't funny enough for you, feel free to go on YouTube and look at Chocolate Rain remixes for awhile.

Truman Capps has had one helluva weekend.
