The Death Of My Hard Drive…
Filed Under News & Info. | 4 Comments
For a moment last night a part of me died… When I heard the clicking and the computer froze I kind of knew deep down that this couldn’t be good. When Shane told me the news I broke down, I just started crying… Thinking of all that I lost and beating myself up for not taking the proper precautions. I was assured that it would all be recovered eventually but still even that couldn’t be guaranteed… I cried myself to sleep.
Today Shane was finally able to read the hard drive, my documents, music and pictures were all recovered (possibly even my favorite 2009 list) and I didn’t need to outsource the hard drive and spend a ton of money on document restoration. Yay!
Since this little snagglefoo happened just as I was creating a new post there will be a few day hiatus, but I should be back Sunday with the first part of my Favorite Albums of 2009 list.
p.s. Back everything up, if you think it can’t happen to you, it can and eventually will… And we don’t all know a magical computer fixer. Thank you Shane for everything, for fixing any PC that needs fixing. This is the 2nd computer in 1 week that he has fixed. It is so appreciated.
***Edit***I spent most of the day getting my computer in order, downloading programs and frantically trying to recover my bookmarks. Still putting together my year end lists, tomorrow for sure I will have part one. For now, I am going to bed. :-)

Work all day and then headed to class. Pounding headache for the last 4 days that comes and goes. I am making a bite to eat and then going to bed. I will return tomorrow…
Bonne nuit xx

I have been having issues with my web host and server issues with bandwith. All that behind the scenes stuff, which is why I have been MIA. Now that we have everything under control I will certainly have something new to put together as soon as I get home.

Michael Jackson 1958-2009
Filed Under News & Info. | 3 Comments
Tonight, I felt it necessary to toast to the one and only “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson. His life should indeed be celebrated. Cheers to you MJ! You will never be forgotten.
And if you do not have at least this album and then well you should go right out and purchase it!

Forget all we’ve learned
Filed Under News & Info. | 5 Comments
It was Cinco de Mayo but I did not feel very festive… Sometimes I wonder where the time goes. It is my 10 year reunion this year and lately I have been catching up with friends from high school and it has been a trip and a half. Basically I dropped off the face of the planet when I graduated and the majority of these people I have not known for 10 years. For me it is a strange, awkward and a little nerve racking, running into people I used to party and socialize with in high school… I feel like a completely different person now… So this Friday there is going to be a party for my high school swimming coach as she is retiring after 20 years of coaching. I am actually looking forward to catching up with former teammates as I feel like we shared a much deeper bond then that of the friends I merely socialized with. I think being on a high school sports team is a really valuable experience for any teenager, you have a deep connection with your teammates and it is something I have learned to appreciate in my old age!
I have been listening to the amazing singer songwriter, Piers Faccini who takes up residence in France. His new album, Two Grains of Sand was released last month in Europe and will be available in the US very soon . It is currently available on eMusic.

Sick As A Dog

Sick as a dog image found here
“Sick as a dog” is a funny expression but that has been me for the last 3 days, this sickness even landed me in the emergency room last night. I had a high fever of 104 and severe dehydration. They took an x-ray to ensure I didn’t have any fluid on my lungs and gave me an IV of fluid and some sort of drug. Currently on the mend.
