I DON'T WANT NO TROUBLE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE PIES.

WHAT THE FUCK UNIVERSE?

This morning I was using my computer and suddenly my external hard drive SHUTS ITSELF OFF AND REFUSES TO COME BACK ON.

I called the warrenty people and they said that there's really no way to fix it so they're just going to send me a check so I can get a new one, but ALL MY MUSIC OMG. 99% of everything was backed up on cds because I am (rightfully) paranoid. I probably wound up losing around 25 albums that I hadn't backed up yet, and once I figure out which ones they are I'll post a nice list begging for help with those.

It's not like I lost money, but it took me over a month to rip all the cds and get everything organized. It was such a giant fucking pain in the ass and now I have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN.

In the words of Dane Cook, some days you really just want to punch a baby.

I ordered a nice LaCie Hard Drive off Amazon. For future reference to anyone who might be considering an external the one that died was the Western Digital MyBook Pro. It worked fine last night when I loaded my iPod and then this morning it just died with zero warning and no power surges, no storms, no nothing.

THIS IS WHY I BUY WARRENTIES. BECAUSE THE UNIVERSE HATES ME.

ETA I just realized that my hard drive's name was DEAN WINCHESTER. HELLHOUNDS ATE MY HARD DRIVE.
