So I've been on a photo kick lately -both taking a ton of pictures, and uploading them. In the last month and a half I added six pages to my flickr account, and this month I've used 7% of my 2 gig monthly upload limit.

So, it looks like my hard disk is fubar. Which means I lost some awesome music, pictures, some goddamn huge RPG books downloaded with much trouble from Sharza, and that poem I wrote, which is the thing that's really bothering me.
