All week I've expended effortless hours on my laptop at all and any available moments I've been given. From early evening to sunrise I have been writing and writing because I've been experimenting on a project with one of my teachers and possibly for my thesis next year. Then a couple of days ago i was challenged with the opportunity to make a documentary for Malka, my girlfriend. She gave me no restrictions and no guidelines, just that it should include her work and process as well as a narration aspect.
In between writing I am running back and forth from my laptop to my camera shooting so many images and i have been very pleased with the outcome of the footage. Then phase two begins, I take a break on the writing and invest several hours working on a first cut and first section of the editing process for her documentary. Upon sunrise i decide to export it for my first cut and first viewing on my television and when i open the file on my computer (just to preview it) the video player would just crash.
I had come to the conclusion that i had exhausted my laptop beyond its power and i decide to restart it. Lord knows my devoted tool deserved a rebirth or reboot but that reboot was a fatal and regretful decision.
So as my computer shuts down, a relaxing silence settles over the whirring fans... When it boots up however it freezes on the loading screen. So after trying to restart it several times i approach it in every aspect from T booting it to Single User booting and even trying to safe boot but nothing worked. Luckily tonight or yesturday i connected it to malka's laptop and backed up all my important files.
A SIGH OF RELIEF, even though it seems like this ever growing shit cloud never stops soaking my closeness to happiness i was able to salvage all my writings and all things important from my computer. I ordered a new operating system and now await the restoring process.

MY documentary however is in limbo for the moment which is very upsetting...
I will be posting more stories soon through Malka's laptop so stay tuned.
Cheers to the few
