I own a lot of stuff, part 14

...so I was writing to another music fan who said that he owned some 3500 cds, and I said that I owned in the neighborhood of 2,000+ cds. But really, I've been saying for years that I owned somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 cds, with no real idea of how accurate my numbers were.

So I decided to count them. It really didn't take that long. This was a rough count -- ie, if one shelf held 24 cds, then I'd assume that many for the shelves below it, and take away a few if the shelf wasn't completely full. So my final total is probably accurate to within a few dozen cds, give or take.

And the number of cds I own, according to my rough estimate, is... 2457.

So saying about 2500 should be accurate for the next year or two. ^_^

(I know, I know -- I own too many cds! But hey, I'm at least 1,000 below the guy I was corrisponding with!)

On a related note... one of my plans for this year is to go through my comic collection and reduce it dramatically. Who knows, maybe I'll give half of it to Chuck! ^_^

(no subject)

Meh. I spent part of the day reading about music and then ordering a couple of cds. Just what I didn't need. But one of them is a cd release of a band's demo tapes -- this band, called Soldier, had a demo tape that I bought and still own, which was much better sounding than a lot of full-fledged nationally distrubuted albumns. For years I wished I had that demo tape on cd -- and today I discovered that someone actually went to the trouble of releasing it. I never expected that, because as good as Soldier was they somehow never got signed. But anyway, I had to go order the cd.

I also spent money at the store, more than I thought I was going to. I decided to buy some flip-flops. I don't think I've owned but one pair of flip-flops my whole adult life, and I decided it would be a nice idea to own a pair. The cheap ones were $4.99, but they all looked ugly, so I decided that paying $20.00 or so for a pair of Skeechers wasn't too much money, given that I probably won't buy another pair for 10-20 years.

When I got home and put them on, I realized that I really don't know how to walk in these things. I need a little practice! ^_^

Otherwise today I've been working off and on on the Ranma 1/2 story that I rediscovered this weekend. I dunno why, I may never get enough of it written to feel like it was worth writing, but since it's already started I decided I might as well see what I could do with it. Yesterday I did some work on that fantasy story I'd been looking for. At least that one has a destination in mind, so that I can anticipate finishing it someday.

Aaaar, matey!

Boromir's Imaginary Phone Stole this from the Wotch forums because it made me laugh my head off

Someone else had as their signature/tag "Only losers have signatures".  Now why do I want to make a massive flashy banner to use as a signature that says that?  :D
