Praise be to Corpre. I had a miracle today. Something that has troubled me for sometime turned out to be a non-existant problem. When my old laptop had its unforunate run in with the floor, I was rather distraught with the knowledge that all the songs and modifications to songs that I had written since coming to Korea- were irrevocably out of my reach and presumably gone. Today I tried to patch my monitor into my laptop which would have worked had the laptop still been able to boot up. (I did get to see a Compaq logo but the poor thing could struggle no further into any manageable OS.) Resolved that the songs were mostly gone, save for the scraps of parchment that a few were written on, I went back to my new computer to begin transcribing new copies of what I could retrieve. I had copied over some of my Halifax songs onto a disk when I left Halifax and those songs were already moved into my new desktop, but when I opened the file, ALL of my songs were there. I have NO recollection of making a backup in Korea-- but there they were there in black and white, and in 1's and 0's. Furthermore, they have been there for the last several weeks and I didn't even know it.
I'm going to go hammer away on my guitar for a little while. I'm in a pleasant state of shock.
