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!!!
