Do not try to top this, because you can’t

Today I bought Wrath of the Lich King, went home, and started installing it. Once the patcher reached ~340 of 389 MB suddenly and without ever having given me a minute of trouble, my hard drive upchucked and died. Gone. The BIOS disavows all knowledge. Finished. Swapping the SATA II cable didn’t do a thing. In the words of John Cleese, it has ceased to be.

I lost an installation of Spore in the process. I think I’ll live.

    How’s this?

    After having Lasik and believing that everything is alright, I am haunted by vision of people I know dying in strange and horrible ways. This is disconcerting enough until they actually start dying in the ways that I have foreseen. All of this might make life more interesting until I looked in the mirror this morning… now I am afraid to close my eyes. Fearing that I might never open them again.

    Okay that’s all a lie (except the Lasik part). I can’t top yours.
