That, and there are a number of geeks out their who have an almost OCD obsession with counting and tracking their stuff. (I’m guilty of this as well.)

I understand the need to track and count, but the idea of posting it online, then telling the world where to find it strikes me as more than a bit odd.

Materialism is simply the desire to collect stuff. All do it. Geeks concentrate on high-tech. The charge of being materialistic is usually reserved for anyone making more than ones self.

Now that I can believe.

That is why you fail.

Oh, it’s so much clearer now. Thanks.

Again, why would one do this?

I have the Akira Limited edition DVD that came out 3 or 4 years ago– yeah!

Wow, first page of your CD list tells the whole story…

A. The Best of Abba… sigh… um… yeah.

B. The Soundtrack to Akira - you are my hero.

Was that a knock on ABBA or do you still harbor feelings for Agnetha?

As for Akira, it’s an awesome soundtrack to an awesome movie. I still don’t have the DVD, but it’s on my Amazon wishlist.

If there are two albums that I’d offer in comparison as an example of my somewhat eclectic tastes, they’d have to be Beggars and Saints by Jai Uttal and His Pagan Love Orchestra and … well, probably The Best of ABBA.
