Welcome to the O.C.*

*Obsessive-Compulsive, that is.

Did you ever start something, knowing in the back of your mind that maybe you were getting into something bigger than you'd ever dreamed of? Yeah, that would have been me this evening. It all started when I heard "Become You," by the Indigo Girls, and I thought to myself, "Hey, I have that on CD. I should find it." I walked over to one of the (quick mental count) four racks of CD's inside the house and tracked down the jacket. No CD inside. And so I thought to myself, "Well, I can look through a few of these and see if the CD was tucked inside another jacket." Four hundred CD's later, I had a pile of CD jackets with no CDs, CDs with no jackets, and in one strange case, a Supertramp Greatest Hits jacket with both a Neil Young and a Del Amitri CD inside. After putting it all back together, I still have a couple of jackets with no CDs. Funeral services to be announced later.
