Stupid external hard drive!

I keep forgetting to bring my external HDD with me with the high-res shots similar to "The Peoples' Right 1". I lost all of the pictures I've ever taken and stored on my laptop... which really hurts... a lot... But I have a few on my desktop, so I need to move them back here in order to set them up for prints. I'm running out of things to take pictures of around my apartment... so I may be buying some more toys with my next paycheck. Ouch.
