The Dark Ages return — but there’s still culture

There was great wailing and gnashing of teeth over the weekend as first Tiger Lilly’s laptop and then the Mall Diva’s crashed and died for unknown reasons (they weren’t sharing any files or connected to each other in any way). The prognosis today is that MD needs a new hard-drive and Tiger Lilly’s can probably be fixed by re-installing the operating system, though she’s likely to lose all her data. Fortunately, almost all of her novels-in-progress and other writing are stored on Google-docs.

A techie friend of ours is working on the laptops, but the girls were still bereft of their electronic connections today. Of course, I offered to let them use the Man Cave and the PC down there, but you’d have thought I’d offered them a spider sandwich. So, apparently, the latest installment of Tiger Lilly’s as-yet-unnamed web comic is delayed, while the Mall Diva can’t share an important announcement with her fans.

Fortunately, I’m here to do the honors but first I want to tell you that someone at work offered me two free tickets to the Celine Dion concert this Thursday night at Target Center. I’m not a big Celine Dion fan, but she’s all right and the price is perfect. I called home to see if my wife was interested but she was out and I ended up talking to the Mall Diva. I said I could get free tickets to Celine Dion and MD was very impressed. “When is it?” she asked.

“Thursday night.”

“Dad, Thursday night is the night that Casii and I are performing at The Black Sheep!”

“Hmmm, who sings better — you or Celine Dion?”

“DAD!”

Okay, so if anyone wants to come and hear The Mall Diva and Princess Flicker-Feather (or Princess FLicker-Feather and the Mall Diva) make their public debut (outside of church), come over to The Black Sheep for Open Mike Night, Thursday, Oct. 30, starting at 6:30. It sounds as if the girls are going to get the opportunity to do several songs. And if you’d like to see Celine Dion, maybe I could hook you up!

So you’re saying I need to back up my data eh?

It depends. How important is it to you?

Update: The data was saved! Including a bunch of sermons I had stored on there.

Our techie friend said you only need to back up your data if you want to sleep at night when, not if, your hard drive crashes.

Word.

I guess I’m not really attached to anything I’ve produced over the last year or so (besides, a writer should throw everything away at age 30 and start anew, that’s a saying I just made up right now of course to excuse my laziness).
