I had the Tuesday entry all typed up and ready to post. Went back to check ONE thing, and accidentally deleted the WHOLE thing. Didn't have it saved anywhere else.
Check back tomorrow. If the tears ever stop, that is.
;_;
(March 14 Edit)
Okay, what happened: I'd opened up the entry editor in my browser, and had typed out 3/4ths of the post, "Tone Deaf". Along the way, I went to go search for the name of the R.Kelly song Ms. Americanized and I had talked about, as I didn't remember off-hand. A smarter person than I would have done the search in a brand new browser tab, but being the idiot I am, I did it in the SAME tab I'd been writing the entry in. Once I confirmed "Ignition", I went back to edit the post, and realized my mistake. I clicked on "back", but the editor came back empty. As it was already late at night and I was pissed at myself over such a careless mistake, I just said screw it and re-wrote Tone Deaf the next day at work.
Well, anyway, to make some good use out of this posting space, here are the translated lyrics to that ever-loveable Koda Kumi song, "Ima Sugu Hoshii", aka "I Want It Now". It's great fun to sing at karaoke if you ever get the chance.
I Want It Now
Ooh, yeah
There are nights where women want it too
Ooh, you understand right?
Those times when you just can't hold it in anymore
It's not that just anybody is OK
It's still my body
I'm not listening to the things you say
Just saying yes
*I want it now
Your surging tongue and intense love
Turn on the lights, I want my shining body to feel just right
Until the sun comes up
Ooh...man
There are nights where I just don't care
Hey...don't get the wrong idea
I'm not being cheap
Hey, it happens to everyone
Times when you want to have sex your way
Close your eyes
Just relax, I'll do the rest
**Just tonight is OK, I want to feel the hot life inside of me
Become free, throw away everything
I want your hot spray
(Rap)
Oh baby
We don't need any candlelight dinners
Say Bye Bye to the sweet talks
Understand that I just want you
Don't get me wrong. This is my stance
So baby Take me lick me from below
Great techniques Make me say (Yes! Yes! Yes!)
Go deeper, go deeper
It's S E X Come on
C'mon satisfy me Round 1
Round 2 Round 3 and Round 4 Here we go
It's K O D A K U M I that's why
Make me climax more
One more time, one more time
As many times, all night long
We don't need any time-outs
Tonight until morning Do do do me all night
*Repeat
**Repeat
Just like that, until morning...

Az's Note: I'd like to add that I have no problem whatsoever with sexually aggressive women (in fact, I like them very much), I just don't really want to hear songs like this sung by 15 year old girls.
Just the thought of it makes me want to scrub my brain clean with Purex.
Checked today for a new post... *Yay, Az's got a new story!* (I said out loud - in my mind).
... Wait a minute... AAAuugh!! oh god, no. It cannot be. The pain, the sorrow, the eternal emptiness which must be filled with great anecdotes, and geeky puns.
Oh, well. As usual, GAMBATTE.
OMG! Control Z! Control Z! Oh noes...
It's okay. Take your time.
Noooo! The gaijinsmash entry that will never be T_T I love your writing, its what I look forward to
Even if it is deleted it may still be on your harddrive, there are applications for those things (http://www.smartundelete.com/ is one I found with a quick google search). The reason being that deleting a file (in windows atleast) just removes the references to it and not the actual data. Its not a sure shot though as it may well have been overwritten.
poor boy.
you have my sympathies.
You've ruined my tuesday.
Noooo.. : (
That's happened to be thousands of times, too. ALWAYS with the really long posts!
Nooo.. : (
That's happened to me thousands of times, too.

Oh, man. That sucks... I know what it's like, for I too suffer from Unsavermann's Syndrome.
Yeah, I hate it when that happens. Autosave could be implemented in many more places.
sorry, happens often we me as well
I'll forgive you this time Az... but only this time... its been a long boring nightshift >=-(
...
Oi!
Don't worry mate, your post still rocks :)
Keep up the good work!
L
you mean Japanese text editor don't have an undo function? you should have tried ctrl+Z
That sucks.
And that, my friend, is called human error.
It's cool, we will be here.
See, now if you had Vista, Shadow Copy(tm) would have done its job! ... <_<
Anyway, comiserations Az, I know the feeling to lose a coursework essay the day its due in... ;_;
:-( Be strong.
If you add Greasemonkey to Firefox, you can add a script that makes backups of all text posts (like this one).

Script #4
Wouldn't want to see this happen again. :)
I hate it when that happens. Especially when it's a paper for a course. On the night before it's due.
;_;
Tears still flow.
That sucks. =/ That's happened to me a lot before. The re-type is NEVER as good as the original one.
Aww man, don't be crushed now. *pats head*
I know it sucks (how couldn't I, happens about every second day to me since Windows holds some kinda grudge against me ô.Ö... but that's not the point.), but just imagine having another night to sleep over happenings and maybe re-writing the whole story even slightly better next day.
I know I'm full of shit right now, but I couldn't think of another way to comfort you. *laughs*
Always Ctrl-C during and after finishing.
Oh my Lord..
Do you not have an UNDO button???
Oh the humanity!
Sorry to hear this and can't wait for the next one.
*cry*
I hate it when the internet gets hungry and gobbles up my posts. I think I hate it more when it gobbles up yours though!
what a horrible tuesday
That sucks major donkey balls!
I called Satan the other day, and he said if you fuck up like this one more time, he's gonna be riding your ass like a horse at the tracks.
Dude, that sucks. We'll be on tenterhooks.
HAHA!!
awwwwww, poor az. it's really annoying when that happens - my 10 page essay suddenly had only 2 pages left when i did something i didn't quite get by myself.
oh well. life is.
...i've been reading all your stuff since like, what, two or three years ago and will never get bored. seriously. it's good to know all this stuff that you write about, while having this a little bit ridiculous dream of teaching in Japan. someday, someday...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
i'll just have to dig through the files and find another story to read! keep up the good work, and write with a pencil & paper!
That's what CTRL + Z is for, man. Gotta undo that shit. Or, if you deleted the file, there are un-delete apps out there.
He who laughs last made a backup.
lol Take it easy man, and keep it up; I'm learning lots of stuff both in English and Japanese.
Hey...well, in the event that it was just hitting backspace or the delete button and deleting it. You could always just hit Ctrl Z. Even in message boxes, it'll restore what you had typed. Well, you probably already knew that and was in a sitch where that didn't apply. But just in case, I thought I'd tell ya. Peace, love, and nappiness.
:( Sorry, that sucks. I did that with a final paper once....
That must *suck* so hard.
ouch. now would probally not be a good time to ask if you had a undo handy...
Yeah, it has happened to me before too. The worst thing is that you typed a finished work and now have to try to recreate exactly the work you lost.
*sucks*
Happened to me with homework before.
Speaking of which, reading your blogs has distracted me long enough! time to get started....in another 15 minutes :D
Don't worry. We forgive you.
In other news, FIRST POST!
awww man.
that's bullshit.
Don't cry, Az! It will be ok.
Crap.
I just died a little inside.
AHH!!!! now what good is this tuesday.
