all in one basket

I find it hard to believe that all of my life’s work is all in one basket. All of the pictures I have taken and digital artwork reside in digital storage in my college dorm room, on my desk, within the confines of one labtop and one external hard drive. Talk about putting all my eggs in one basket. I only think of this now, when I realize we have a fire drill in about five hours from now. Should there be a fire or natural disaster, I don’t think I would arrive back in time to save these two items. No where else is there a copy of everything I have done except for online and a few random CDs scattered in my childhood bedroom.

Wow, I really should have another back-up place of storage. But I guess in the long run, this material stuff does not matter as long as I still have the people I care for in my life.

On a more cheerful note, we rearranged our dining/living room area! Being the engineering me, instead of immediately starting to move the furniture according to every which persons’ whims, I roughly measured everything out, cut up pieces of paper to signify our furniture and drew our room layout. My apartmentmates were amazed at my ingenious. LOL.

By the way, there is no longer just a call for “shot gun”, but when there’s 5 people heading to a 5-seater car, there are also calls for “side” too. At least for me and my old suitemates when we pile into George’s car…
