Buzzetta
WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Me too. I think Buzzetta does too.
Every day with a Mach 3. Sometimes if there is a growth spurt I keep one on hand to give a tune up before going out.
Me too. I think Buzzetta does too.
I have a pair of siamese twin pigs in my library.
I am obsessive about making lists and organising. I see it as a source of fun, and will not allow anyone else to play (think Christmas tree, decorations, wrapping, shopping lists, organising cds). my husband says I have OCD
In a jar? Gotta pic?

They are taxidermied and behind glass. If I were not such a hopeless technophobe, I could post a picture.
I'm the same way about CDs & records. Every one in my collection has to be put back in its case or sleeve with the label oriented the exact right way.
I'm the same way. The A-side must be facing upward. The inner sleeve must not open out in the same direction as the outer. All the albums and CDs must be organized chronologically, with any singles slotted in accordingly, and my collection is alphabetized by artist.
Have you ever seen the movie "Diner"?
Bummer. That'd be some stuffed pork that I wouldn't mind seeing.
Exactamente. I wanted to spare everyone the further details, but you've done that for me. And you should see how I organize iTunes.
My fiction bookshelf is organized chronologically, not alphabetically by author. Drives a certain someone else in the house bonkers.
No, but I wouldn't remember it even if I had. Why?
Oh, iTunes, don't even get me started. Naturally one starts by assuring chronological purity, re-titling all the albums to include numerical prefixes. I also divide them by single to preserve the track listings. Thus, for Morrissey, my "Suedehead" single is 01, "Viva Hate" is 02, "Sunday" is 03, and so forth. All have the album artwork (thanks Stephane!) for the visualizer.
Even more embarrassingly, my Joy Division & New Order tracks include the original Factory catalog numbers.
The movie sucked. But there's a character in the movie who is fanatical about his records (the story takes place in 1950s Baltimore and the guy has huge shelves full of vinyl). Before he can get married he makes his fiancee take a test: she's quizzed on the recording artist, the label, and other minutiae surrounding dozens upon dozens of records. I always think of him when discussing this topic.
20 years ago, I stole Morrissey's trash *embarrassed*
Mine, too! What I do is use the Comment field to include the original release date (going so far as to list which country in which it was released first), its record label and catalog number, and, if it's a Smiths/Moz tune, a URL for the relevant page on Passions. For example, entries #94-97 on my master Smiths/Moz playlist look like:You get the idea. But it changes how you listen to the songs: for example, I don't just listen to Viva Hate in album order. Instead, I listen to "Suedehead" & its b-sides, then everything on Viva Hate except "Suedehead," then the b-sides of "Everyday Is Like Sunday," etc. I don't put anything else in the song title, though, because I follow the MusicBrainz tagging guidelines pretty religiously.

Well, okay, I'll admit that my Latin & Greek books each get their own separate bookcase, and they're chronological within their own groups. But everything else is chronological, regardless of language or nationality. The Decameron should come right before The Canterbury Tales, dammit!
Wow--that sounds like my kind of guy. But I'd've never gotten married if I'd subjected Mrs. NRitH to that kind of a test. Some things are more important than music trivia, admittedly.

Holy cow... good thing neither of you have to live with me (worm and NRITH) I am sure I would be on the evening news found strangled to death - in my very own bed as I read!
My, my, your iTunes system trumps mine! Very impressive! Do you work for the Library of Congress?
For your Greeks and Romans do you have all the Loebs? My dream is to buy them all. I estimate it would cost about $4K or thereabouts.
What was in it?
