I seriously need to invest in an external hard drive, so I can store my music. I might have to reformat my Micro, and the bulk of the songs I have on there aren't backed up anywhere else. A lot of them I can rip again, but there's still tons more that I have to save.
AUGH.
Let me take a moment while I'm angsting over the could-be loss of nearly 1000 songs (only a few of which I've been able to copy into my desktop files), and ask: has anyone else had this happen to them? Somehow your files on your MP3 player (I'm not just talking the Creative players here; it's more generalized) get bunged up and you might have to purge them all but you really don't want to and you're not sure if there's a way for them to be saved? If so, what did you do? Think it'd be possible for me to get an external drive (WHY did my dad return the one he got me for Christmas? WHY DID I LET HIM, more importantly?!) and try to copy everything? I don't think I'd ever have a way to get back everything I had on here--it's an MP3 collection that's been building since after the Great Computer Crash of Summer '05, and was, at its peak, at over 1050 songs, including bootlegs, B-sides, and stuff I'd searched for eons for and couldn't find.
I will be an optomist about this. I will be an optomist about this.
In non-depressing news: ever since Casanova (the Heath Ledger one that I love so much) came out, I'd seen people on LJ gripe that it wasn't as good as the other Casanova--a BBC miniseries with David Tennant (The Tenth Doctor on Doctor Who, or as I keep calling him, New Doctor--because I've only seen "The Christmas Invasion" so far and am still not completely used to him yet). So I was like, "Eh, okay, whatever", until I find out that it's going to be on Masterpiece Theater on PBS exactly a week from now--the BBC one, that is. So I'm all, "Yay!" because now I get to geekily compare and contrast the two, and while I'm sure that my love of the big-screen movie won't fade, it'll be neat to see it. Plus: Doctor!
I know it's lame and there are more pressing and crappy things occuring, but I'll take any form of cheering up that I can get. My music, y'all.
AUGH.
