CDs at Ease

robotech_masterWell, I'm up, and I'm listening to the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack. It's interesting so far. And it reminds me that today I need to take care of the breakfast bar, which is where my CD racks and things are perched. I need to sort out all the CDs that have somehow gotten uncased, find cases for the CD-ROM discs, and get them all into a sort of semblance of order. That's what I've got planned for this morning. After that...maybe I'll tackle the VHS/DVD shelves on top of my bureau.
CDs...hmm. You know, I hardly ever listen to them anymore, now that my radio has been roached to death. Most of my music is the form of MP3s on my hard drive; my computer has become my entertainment center. I can play CDs on it, but in the end it's just as easy to rip them to MP3 and listen to them that way. After all, with MP3s, I can randomize the entire contents of my hard drive, and listen to music for 16 hours or so without ever hearing the same song twice. Let someone with a 5 disc changer try to compete with that! And I can also burn them to CD-ROM, now that I have a CD-RW drive, so even if I don't keep them on my hard drive, I still save space that way.
Given that the fellow from the maid service suggested that anything you hadn't used in the last several weeks, you probably wouldn't need...I wonder if it's time to pack my CDs away and reclaim that space?
After working on the CD space, I think I'll take that beige box pictured in one of the photos below outside and empty and sort through it. It has the last of my unsorted videotapes--the ones not important enough to me to bear putting in the tape rack--and it seems to have been the unfortunate recipient of a roach colony, and I should get it in good order before taking it home to free more space in my room.
Why do you suppose it is that holiday Snickers always seem to taste much better than the regular Snickers candy bars? The Snickers nutcrackers and hearts (for Valentine's Day) and eggs (for Easter) are just so much more delicious than the ordinary candy bars that it's like eating caviar by comparison. I always want to stock up on them; they're just so tasty. The nougat is softer, the caramel is creamier, and the nuts are crunchier than the ordinary brick-shaped bar. I'd love to know why they can't make their ordinary candy bars this way.
