Why me flash drive ??!!!

Well today tragedy struck in the digital aquarium, somehow as i was working on my specialty item my flash drive malfunctioned. It erased every file i had on it and now pops up as an unreadable device when i put it in. I was working on updating my blog and printing things out but now of course I cant. The rule is of course to back up files and i did that up until my self mailer, and had planned on backing up the files when i got home this evening. Just a post saying no more re branding updates for me until i figure out something... :(
