failed hard drive

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2001.11.13

I had a disastrous HDD failure on Sunday. I had to go to backups from Saturday night, so I seem to have lost about a week's worth of updates to this journal.

Tonight I went to my last Spanish class, which took place at a Mexican restaurant. We all had to order in Spanish, and afterwards, we sang Spanish translations of some Beatles songs. It was fun. It turns out that one of my classmates is a singer by trade, and she did a Spanish tune that was just stunning.

Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try.
