how much money have i spent on CDs?

[lincolnkw]

Is it a frightening thought that I now count my CDs by the foot?

I just alpahbetized all of my CDs, didn't count, but I have noticed that I have over three feet of artists starting with B. Two and a half feet of M, S & L. Each. Two feet of C & W. The others are all under a foot.

Eight feet of showtunes.

Five feet of TV/Movie soundtracks.

Two and a half of Christmas music.

*pulls out ruler and measures pile of CD's sitting next to computer*

OK, I get about 30 CD's per foot. That's for single discs only, so that needs to be tweaked slightly downwards to account for double-disc sets. But still, that's a lot of music. Yikes.

Eight feet of showtunes? [Insert catty comment about gay stereotypes here.] I was going to actually *make* a catty comment, but the I remembered that I suck at thinking of stuff like that. ^_^

No tweaking downwards! I repackage my double-CDs into one of the single-size 2-cd cases. Except for Les Mis that's 3 CDs.

And the catty comment you could have made? I've made them all. That's about 240 showtunes, all but 10 the original cast. That's a lot of damn shows. Sad thing is I've only actually seen three shows, outside of college, community & HS, of course. Professionals at work. It's sad.

When it comes to you, Lincoln, I will always tweak things upwards.

I really just said that, didn't I?

Soooo, he says curiously and with no evil intent, how's the Lent thing going now that your heading into the final stretch? Only eleven days left I think.

Actually, it's going fairly smoothly. That part of my brain seems to have shut down completely, so it's not much of an issue these days. There *was* one night a week or so ago when I woke up at 3 a.m. in heat -- that's really the only word to describe it -- and I had to jump into a cold shower until things calmed down. Actually, it was a midly lukewarm shower, not cold, but it had the same effect.

coolness. I'm glad it's working out, although I'm a little concoerned that part of your brain seems to have shut down.

Hee. In heat. I can only picture a cat writhing on the ground and yowling. Or one of our dogs rubbing up against any male dog, and a couple of cats.

Hee.

I'm a little concerned that part of your brain seems to have shut down.
This actually raises something interesting. (Pun intended.) What do I do if, come Easter Sunday, I have no desire to, uh, end my fast? Do I end it anyway, just because I can? Do I wait until I actually *want* to end it? Do I proactively do something to *make* me want to end it? Do I hand a sign around my neck that says "help wanted: haven't had sex in 40 days" and head to the nearest cruising ground? Oh, the many questions that remain unanswered...

In heat. I can only picture a cat writhing on the ground and yowling.
Well, I was in bed, not on the ground, but other than that, you've pretty much got it.

Hee.
If you keep this up, I'm going to drive up there and hee all over you in person. Consider this a threat.

FINALLY! Somebody who possibly has more CD's than I do!!!!!!

Re:

I shall have to count this week. Actually I should probably go ahead and put them in some sort of database so i know what I have. I keep going through CDs at work, and if they look familiar, wondering if I already have them.

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

I do that too! Though I have only bought two repeat CD's! so go me!
Data base? What a concept! I should , um, hire somebody to do that!

How exactly does one "hee" all over another?

And, personally, you've gone this long so why not wait until you want to end it to end it? I suppose that would have to exclude self amusement as that can be a stress reliever. truly. I read it in an article. And a book.

And really, the sign? I magine what could come out of the woodwork to take advantage of a poor desperate soul.

I have no idea. This is why I shouldn't post LJ comments _after_ taking nighttime cold medication.

And I was kidding about the sign. I think. Like I said, nighttime cold medication.
