bloodyrosemccoyAgainst all the principles of anatomy, my shoulder is kicking my ass.
It’s a true Injury Of Tomorrow, too: the whole arm is inflamed as a direct result of trying to save my hard drive.
The Teeny Tiny TARDIS, to put it simply, done broke. I suspect it is an actual physical problem: the cord does not stay connected, so while all the information is there, I would have to jimmy the adapter until it hit the right spot and then hold it there in a death grip to view files. This cannot be good for the drive, either, because after a night of this it gave out completely and refused to even acknowledge that anything was going on. I am sure all my files in there are intact, but at the moment I can’t actually connect to them. They are locked in the circuitry, and the thing does not connect outside of itself.
So yeah, my hard drive seems to have come down with autism.
Fortunately I back up my important writing files, because I have learned from previous experience, so the Africa photos and the writings are safe. But I don’t really want to lose half my bootleg MST3ks,* so I’m gonna have to take the poor Teeny Tiny TARDIS in to a computer repair guy.**
Oh, and I’m going to go take some Advil, too.
Modern convenience is annoying sometimes, isn’t it?
*At least not until they actually become commercially available.
**Who will creep around my files and probably be disappointed to find a complete lack of porn.
