OConnor's Profile

I actually took the time to register to this site to express a couple of thoughts on this issue:

First, I love to organize and recently took to my CD collection. It pained me but I took every CD from it's jewel case and all of the artwork and transferred it to two 500 binders. I gave the jewel cases to friends who 'needed' them. Now my whole CD collection is not only well organized ... it's portable. The only problem I have with it is that the binder pages tend to tear rather easily under the weight of all of the CD's. Having to create a drawer space to shrink the collection seems like too much trouble when the binders solved the problem of space and my friends, leftover product.

I cannot seem to bring myself to do this to my film collection however. There is something about seeing the artwork and titles that are important to me. Also, alot of them have extras and though the DVD's fit into CD sleeves and thin jewel cases ... the artwork and extras often do not.

Lastly, there is the investment I put into the DVD's. A good deal of which was probably artwork and cases. The above solution does not deal with what to do with the leftovers and makes waste of any artwork or information that may have come with the product. So, my DVD collection remains in my closet in two ceiling reaching multi-shelf units I bought at IKEA ... well organized, out of the way, and out of sight.

Serenity rocks by the way and it's detractors make me realize how fortunate I am to be able to enjoy good story telling and a complex character arc. Firefly was an excellent series that deserved better.
Stargate SG-1 and Babylon5 are also great Science Fiction series, both of which I own the entire series and films. Not ready to junk the boxes to those ... not even close.
