I bought — oh sweet Fleevus, I just typed “bout” for “bought” and I’m mad at myself — but I bought a 2 terabyte external hard drive so I can be away and still edit the 2tb worth of video on my desktop for the next 5 weeks. Copying that much data takes a long time, as I’ve found out over the last 5 days organizing all my media among various internal and external drives.
Now it’s crunch time. My flight to Orlando leaves in the morning and I have to be out of the house by 6:30am. I started the move to the external drive 5 hours ago. It’s 11:30pm now. Will I make it in time? It’s in Jobs hands now…
UPDATE: God dammit Apple. that shit dont even make sense… I plugged in another external drive and the computer didnt recognize it so I turned it off to try again – oh, but THEN the computer is all “HEEEYYY, what are you doing? you just ejected a drive improperly. fuck – we’re shuttin this down” and canceled the transfer going on with the other drive. So now I have to start over and have no chance of finishing in time. I’m gonna have to have some one mail me the hard drive. UG. SO not friends with you right now, Apple. christ.
PS: the title is a reference to an old Loony Tunes or Tom and Jerry or some cartoon of that nature where someone keeps saying how they don’t wanna die if they can’t take their worldly possessions with them and when someone reminds them that that is indeed the case they reply “then I aint goin” and their soul jumps back into their flesh husk and they revive. lulz.
