Feb. 11th, 2004 01:29 pmI checked the desk again today to see if anyone's been kind enough to find and return my disk, but apparently, my luck has gotten very, very bad. I've always found my disk before, and for the first time, when I have a near-finished fic on it, it just goes poof. Less funny things have happened to me, but this takes the cake. Especially since I liked that story so much.
On the bright side, I'm still happy that I only lost two or three sentences on my FFVII fic involving Yuffie and Vincent. Who ever created the FTP and SSF is at least a minor diety in some forgotten realm. All I have to do is load the stories to my *new* disk and commence rewriting.
Which, unfortunately, will not happen soon. The remodelling that's happening to our house has made the wiring in my room go on the fritz and currently, my room is the only room that has no power at all. I don't have electricity for lights, alarm clock, or even phone. Which also means that I can't charge my cell unless I move it to another room, which is risky, since I tend to forget things when I move them around.
I keep seeing book recs on my friends pages -> so there is a reader in me who's still mewling underneath the mass of college-related reading material. So she hasn't died after all. XD I'm feeling very frisky again; part of the reason I felt so burned out the last quarter and this may be the fact that I'm focusing too much on too few things. I haven't read a really good, entertaining book in the longest time, and I think it's right-o-age for me to sink my claws into fantasy and sci-fi novels again. I think the Dragonlance mess turned me off when they kept churning some awful stuff out. The only good things recently (and they're not even that recent) were the Raistlin Chronicles and The Doom Brigade. Selling the rights, eh? It's like fanfiction, except there's a vague level of quality-control.
