I think I fit in that category nicely.

Anyway, as I was trying to come up with topics, there was one thing that I’ve been meaning to write about for a while: the side show that is Jackie Evancho. I have a feeling my singer friends who read it will be nodding their heads in agreement. I’m not so sure about the avid Jackie fans who think she’s a prodigy with a bright future. Please feel free to leave comments, as always!

Also, the video I reference in the article didn’t embed for some reason. Here it is:

Watch the full episode. See more Great Performances.

For those of you who can’t find your way over there (although you should; it’s a great place to find new blogs!), I’ll be reposting the story on this blog after a couple of days.

Luckily, Facebook uploaded all my posts onto its site, so I have at least something to work with.  I might be able to recreate at least the posts that I liked.

In the meantime, onward and upward.  I have to rebuild this blog, my singing website, and my caroling website.  It’ll be slow going, but it’ll get done.

So I uninstalled WordPress as per the instructions here.  I thought as long as I backed everything up to my hard drive, all will be well.  But I forgot to back up the database.

Why, oh, why did I delete my SQL database for my blog?  I thought I had backed up my entire blog before I wiped it (someone had hacked in here), but apparently I didn’t.  Argh.  Really, double argh.

Anyway, I don’t have time right now to fix up my blog with all its extra stuff, so stay tuned and you’ll see something soon enough.
