Thanks so much for all the nice comments! To answer a few of the questions, I bought the credenza on CL for $150. It is solid wood which was the only reason I was okay paying that. When we sanded it down, we used 3 grades of sand paper. First a 60 grit to remove the very persistent varnish and previous stain. Then a 120 to smooth the surface and finally a 220 to ensure any particles and imperfections were gone.
Once the project was all said and done, with the cost of materials, I spent just around $200.

Oh for goodness sake. I'm not being entirely serious here people. Of course I can buy a ladder and thankfully as I have no boobs, they will pose zero threat to my changing of bulbs.
I am no vapid, useless priss. There are things it is just easier for a taller person to attend to. Either way, this list is in good fun. I am happily single, love living on my own, and am fully capable of attending to all my own needs. Occassionally, it's just nice to be able to have someone else do stuff once in a while.
Unbunch your knickers KTG...it's okay to have a laugh at my silly little list...rest assured I am quite self reliant and far from stupid.

I think what a turntable provides that an iPod or mp3's in general cannot is a warm, high fidelity audio experience. If one is a true audiophile, which I can safely say myself and Russell both are, then a turntable and clean vinyl are about as necessary as having just about anything else.
I think it shows a certain level of pride and attention to detail to have a nice turntable and a decent music collection. If music is your thing that is.
Certainly I find it more interesting than a collection of Furby's.

hello, kelley here.
i can see your point palmetto and j, however i think its fair to take into account where one works. i happen to work for itunes and i can safely say weirdness, casualness, flippancy, unicorns, star wars lego battleships en mass...all of it is acceptable here. i think were a person to have a cube with regal or some kind of "professional" decor people 'round here would be suspicious. if your industry embraces fun and creativity go for it and whack some unicorns on your cube walls. if not, fair enough..buy a streamline stapler and matching pen holder and wait for your promotion to come. i'll race you to the corner office.
