On the evilness of Amazon wishlists...

graculusOkay, so maybe that's a slight exaggeration, except that those of us with little-to-no willpower where shiny things are concerned probably shouldn't be allowed free access to sites like Amazon and Ebay.
Even when we know we will hopefully be moving house at some point in the (hopefully) near future, said websites should help us in our ongoing struggle to resist the buying of more books, cds and dvds which will only require packing along with the rest of the stuff. They really should.
BTW, I read this story and was a little boggled - anyone else around here have just the number of albums etc. quoted? That would be 178 if you're a man, 135 if you're a woman. Personally I have that in just cds, without taking into account the vinyl and the couple of boxes of cassettes I have lurking around the house, and would probably have more if I didn't have a clear out every so often...
Meanwhile, my criminal records check came back today, so that's another hurdle in my quest to new employment overcome. Considering that a goodly number of people I work with are either working their notice or are seriously thinking about giving in their notice, it's nice to be the one who's going in a proactive manner, because I'm going to something and not just running from the current situation.

You probably don't want to know this but here are my firsts:
first 7" single: Spandau Ballet - Musclebound/Glow
first LP: Abba - Greatest Hits 2
first 12" single: New Order - Blue Monday
first CD: Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition
first DVD: either a season 2 or season 3 Stargate SG-1 DVD (can't remember exactly which one now)
I have no idea what my first boughten videotape was - probably some movie
