A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

When it rains it pours

So my Ubuntu computer died because I tried to see if I could still boot to my Windows partition — which it could, but doing so somehow trashed the drives so on the next cycle neither OS would load… Anyway, some photos of Bella Vendetta by Johnny Tattoo in a BME shirt.

I lost all of my ModBlog work (like pending entries), which is sort of a pain, and a couple minor things, but all in all it was mostly time lost.

    to get back your saved files, have you tried booting with a live cd, like knoppix, or slackware? just a thought, you’d be able to access both windows and linux partions and the what not. if you havn’t thought of it or formatted the drives already.

    I feel it’s rather fitting that it looks like it says .cum, instead of .com
