So I wrote this really special obit of João Gilberto. Word crashed and I lost it all—no autorecovery or temp files at all—just gone. I’m sorry you’ll never read it, because I just can’t start again.
It was my favorite thing I’d written for a long while. Fuck everything, what a fucking disaster.
Motherfucking thing had like 100 links to YouTube videos, translations of lyrics, musical analysis. Fuck.
I’m in the fuck you I’m never writing anything ever again phase of grief now.
