sorting comics
last weekend, i sorted all the comics in the bedroom. my plan is to sort the equivalent of one short box every weekend till we're done.
yeah, we've got some one-offs. we've got some total crap. we've got some complete series that we're re-buying in trade. and we've got some in just tpb format.
it feels good to be organized. in fact, i crave organization. i don't know what the fuck ever happened to me, but sometime in 1997, i became an organization freak. i get off on it.
i dont DO it enough (much like some other things i enjoy) but I love it. when i managed our store's inventory in 1997, I was damn good at it. I knew where every ounce of every variety was located, which stockroom or cooler, how much we needed to get through any given week.
it must be the feeling of being in control.
i mean, i organized our dvd's. alphabetical by genre. (couldnt tell it now...)
i organized my cd's, too, by genre and year.
(and as a sidenote, nobody met the reserve on the ipod auction i was bidding on. the bidding went well over my willingness to pay, too, and hit $175 for a used 15G 'pod, with $15 addl for shipping. For that, I'll buy a new one, thanks. "buy it now" was $375, proving that all kinds of ebay sellers are on crack.)
