CD Gnomes!

On Sunday, someone with a great deal of consideration for their fellow man smashed the passenger side window of [livejournal.com profile] midnightfae's car in an attempt to get the stereo. Her stereo, being an ornery piece of antiquated equipment, did not budge more than an inch or two. Despite the cost of replacing the window, this failure of basic mission parameters amused both [livejournal.com profile] midnightfae and I.

Until today.

Today we realized that the thief did manage to swipe not only [livejournal.com profile] midnightfae's CDs, but also my own (I had put my CD binder in her car for additional music choices).

It's just stuff, but it's a bit disconcerting. I have most of my music backed up just in case, but my David Sedaris CD and all of my Monty Python albums were not ripped for posterity. Plus, one of my Stuart Davis albums was signed and I'll never see him perform live again since he never travels this way.

I feel worse for [livejournal.com profile] midnightfae, however, as she didn't have any backups made, and she had a nearly complete set of Tori Amos CDs.

We'll be fine. I'm going to reburn my CDs and make my girl some wicked awesome mixes to try to cope for the loss of tunes. I'll have to rebuy the Python and Sedaris, but hey... they're worth the dough.

Oh that sucks. :(
People suck.

I agree. Except us. We do not suck.

My sentiments exactly.

Ugh. People so very much suck.

Don't they just?

Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks! Yay!

That sucks! Much hugs to you and Julia and let me know if you guys need any tune-age that I can help with.

I appreciate it. I should be around any night this week, btw, if you want to grab belated wedding presents.

Thank you, but you've got enough to worry about right now, oh Soon-To-Be-Wed Lady.
