In response to DVD Collection (Because I couldn't reply to the thread)
Wow! I'm almost up there with ya. I've never actually counted all of mine, but I did catalogue them a long time ago. LOL I sell my DVDs as I get them on Vudu, so if there's any ya need/want once I've got them on the cloud, hit me up!
I'm the same way with DVDs as I am books. I like to actually have the DVD itself. If I can't actually find it in physical format, if I really want to see it, I'll watch it online, but otherwise I prefer to have a physical copy.
I'm the same with books. I prefer to have the book in my hand. For some reason I just love holding the book, turning the pages, the feel and smell of it.
I had to create an index so I wouldn't end up with a bunch of repeats. I get annoyed when that happens. Like when I get something that has a bunch of movies in it and find out I already have most of them. One or two, not so bad, but over half annoys me. I do have some repeats from buying such sets, but not many. The index helps keep me straight. :)
LOL Sorry it took me so long to respond. I was promoted at work, and it's been takin' up all my time and energy learnin' my new position and tryin' to rake some semblance of order into it.
I love movies, I just don't love all the space they take. LOL Hence why I like to have them on VUDU. I'm not that way with my books though. I also love the feel of a real book in my hands, the smell of the musty paper, the black of the ink rubbin' off on my fingers as I turn the pages. ;) So I hear ya!
I also have an E-Bay addiction, which fed my addiction to Breyer unicorns, pegasus, and fantasy horses. XD They take up quite a bit of room as well.
No worries. We're trying to keep a 8 people department operating with 4 at this time. We're all hoping they get some extra bodies in here, especially considering our most senior staffer is fixing to retire.
Great for overtime, lousy for having a life.
Mine is currently up to 1774 since starting this thread. Every paycheck I get myself a little treat of one sort or another, usually some more DVDs, but occasionally other stuff.
