La Vie Boheme

I edited the manuscript for

I edited the manuscript for Liberation today. Thank GODS. All I have left to do is to finish polishing my puny section. And lest I jinx myself, I think I FINALLY have a handle on the damned beast. Tonight or tomorrow it'll be done.

I had one hell of a scare earlier tonight. It's easier to explain it this way:

Cinderella says "Aw, fuck."
Cinderella can't open the Liberation doc she spent ALL DAY editing.
Paige hms. That's not a good thing.
Cinderella says "OH FUCK ME."
Cinderella gets the following message during scandisk: "ScanDisk could not properly read from or write to cluster 2772, which contains some or all of the 'A:Liberation 2.rtf' file. The contents of this cluster are probably already lost."
Paige says "Well."
Paige says "That's some great big bitch, right there. :P Is it only on the disk, or saved on your work computer/could email it to yourself tomorrow?"
Cinderella /thinks/ she saved it on her work computer.
Cinderella says "Motherfucking son of a bitch. This is just the cursed project from hell."

(Cinderella = me, Paige = Laura) Luckily, scandisk also managed to salvage everything on the disk. I was about to commit hari-kari with a ballpoint pen.

And last but not least, I found a Palm program that lets you store and edit Word docs on your handheld. Who needs a laptop? I'm playing around with the demo right now.
