Why is it that right when I’m out of them I suddenly need them really badly? It’s like right after I finish the last CD on the last spool I end up finding out I need 10 more right away. Grr. (continue on with your day) ---

I got stacks of free after rebate cds…way more than I need. Sometimes I throw them out just so I can use the spindle for storage. ---

Hell, I’ve got a couple of hundred CDR’s as well as a few dozen CDRW’s sitting here. I know the owner of a computer store and since I buy all my hardware there, he just gives me the cd’s whenever I want. 🙂 ---

::sigh:: You know, way far away in a land called “Vermont” lives a girl who doesn’t yet own a CD burner, and dreams of making her much talked of “breakup mix” CD. She has no need for CD-Rs, because she can’t burn CDs. ::sigh:: (it’s OK, I’m asking for one from my birthday. Breakup mix, here I come!)
