All right, enough fucking around. I’ve been procrastinating on posting this because, well, who likes to admit to being a huge, retarded Tidus?
I’ll just get to the point. You know how you’re supposed to back up the important shit on your computer so you don’t lose it if and when your hard drive crashes? Of course you do. Dogs fucking know this. I think you see where this is going. A month and a half ago, I lost my entire Mac hard drive, including my 100% complete Phoenix Wright recap. To make this even more idiotic — and I’m not sure why I’m sharing this part with you, since you’re just going to point and laugh — I had about four days’ notice that my hard drive was on the fritz. Instead of doing something smart like BACKING UP MY FUCKING DATA, I decided to play Spore instead. I think even Shion would be intelligent enough to do a data backup in this situation. Of course, since “data backup” in her case probably involves something dirty and penetrating with KOS-MOS, she probably has a little more incentive.
Anyway, what this means is that I have to rewrite the entire courtroom portion of my recap, which was painful enough the first time around. I don’t think anything can compare to Kelly’s agony during the writing of the Atlantica recap, but this one was pretty damn close. The thought of enduring it a second time makes suicide seem like an attractive option. I’ve been avoiding the rewrite like the plague, even as the interval between recaps becomes longer and longer and I feel guiltier and guiltier. Seriously, this fucking thing should have been done back in July. In September, as I was readying it to post (*sigh*), I felt shitty enough. Now it’s almost November.
The good news is that I’m finally feeling like working on it again. Don’t think that means I’ll tone down any of the anger and bitterness in the recap itself — there will still be plenty of rage and suffering for you to enjoy.
Thanks everyone for your patience, and I apologize for being such an epic dumbass. DURR!!!
You brave, brave woman. I would never have the courage to admit – and on the INTERNET! – that I had been a huge, retarded Tidus.
Also, who ISN’T in the Phoenix Wright mood after hearing about the lesbian musical?

Everyone makes mistakes. We’re only human. 😀
Oh, God. I’m so sorry. I was already cringing when you said we probably knew where it was going.
And that reminds me, I really should back up mine. I haven’t since…since I got it, I think. A year or two ago.
…You know, I’d like to think that, given an advanced warning like you had, I would have backed it up. But I can just see myself procrastinating, thinking that I’d just do it tomorrow. And again the next day. And the next. So you’re not alone in making bad decisions.
Oh boy… Well, don’t worry, people make mistakes and stuff. I actually thought you folk would post that update on Christmas.
You know we love you Jeanne. Cookies and puppies for you, I say. Chop chop! Call in the Edgeworth clones!
You know when you read a book a second time you catch things that you missed? Think of it this way, you’ll be able to spot even more gay subtext, something that many have deemed impossible. But you’ll show them, you’ll show them all!
From my liver to yours, my deepest consolations, Jeanne. Be sure you drink the good stuff, as the bathtub hooch is hell to shake off.
These recaps have been a reliable and awesome source of humor for AGES. It’s absolutely unique. So don’t sweat it, Jeanne. Everyone screws up once in a while.
You’re right, Michael. I do deem it impossible.
Oh, god, I know the feeling all too well. I’ve done shit like that before. Don’t feel bad, you’re just as retarded as the rest of us. ….Wait, that didn’t come out right.
Oh, and P.S.: No need to feel guilty or apologize. The recaps kick ass. Better for them to take awhile to come (since, y’know, you and the other recappers do have lives and all) than to get a rushed and sucky product, right?
(If we do get a rushed and sucky product in the future, you’ll be forced to watch Maechen’s Happy Storytime sequence from Final Fantasy X-2 for the rest of eternity.)
opps 🙂
