digital tragedy

I don't think I've written about this yet, but it's been really bugging me lately. I lost my entire collection of music ( a few thousand hours of it) and photos! All of my music!!! All of the pictures of my kids and everything that I'd taken in the past two years. It was all on a portable hard drive that decided to break all of a sudden, so now the only music I really have is Le Tigre, Joanna Newsom, and MC Frontalot.

Meredith (the other Meredith) asked me to dj this Sunday, and part of me wanted to, because it's almost been long enough for me to forget how stressful it is, but no, I can't because I have no music any more. I haven't even been out dancing in ages.
