Collection of Irrelevance
God news, we picked up a new van for my dad! So the car situation at least goes back to where it was, minus that he's borrowing my car for this afternoon.
I had nothing to say today really, and I was going to post this part of an Excel spreadsheet I made to document what I did and didn't have (left that part out) of my CD cases, lyric sheets and CDs as a draft for me to see anyway, so if you're curious what I own outside of games, here you go. Should be about seventy-nine CDs. I was thinking of uploading these as "Playstation games" and my DVDs as "Playstation 2 games" in my collection on here, since those consoles can play those mediums, but I like the cool, lucky number I have for games I own (37) and these are not games anyway.
If you're wondering what DVDs I own, they are
Cinderella Man (kind of; it is my favorite movie, and was gifted to my dad at some point, then I asked him for it for my birthday, and he told me it was already in the house, so borrow it any time)
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (bought at Blockbuster)
Hugo (won at my work's White Elephant Gift Exchange last Christmas)
Linkin Park: Frat Party at the Pankake Festival (Christmas gift one year)
The Dark Knight Rises (Christmas gift last year)
The Cinema Snob Movie (wound up being free, straight from the director, after being sent two dead discs by the distribution co. they used, Kunaki; Kunaki did refund my money, though, so can't be too upset, though it was around Christmas, and I hate to think of how people trying to gift the thing felt)
Yeah, I don't download, yet only ever paid for one movie I own, and only ever expected to pay for two. Weird, huh? Don't worry, there's a lot more movies around the house, they're just not mine. I'll build that collection, as well as others (how cheap are PS3s these days?), when I get out of my student loan debt, erratic job, still living with my parents despite a Magna Cum Laude Bachelor's Degree and managerial experience situation. Yeah, the 21st century sucks. I blame Hoover. Not the President, the vacuum company; if they hadn't sold Orth one that requires buffering to work, Orth would have never been infuriated enough to tell his Wall Street friends (well, they're arrogant and dumb too, so I'm guessing they're all chummy) to do all this crap; and according to his Twitter feed, he's still pissed. Gee, thanks Hoover.
Also, I did not know this, but apparently Windows phones have spotty and unreliable service, as evidenced by Orth's comments about phones. They also need to be online at all times to work, where on my current phone, I can play Sonic CD no matter what state the 3G or Wi-Fi is in. Man, if I had to turn Wi-Fi on to make a phone call, I'd be an incoherent rage monster, too. That sounds awful! Poor guy.
Wait a second... a machine that feels the need to be always on....
Well, actually I kind of would like a personal HAL 3000, that might come in handy if I can coax a couple pesky neighbors into my house, then tell them I forgot something outside. We'll see where this goes.
As for books, I'm working on it. They're still all over the place in my room, even after Spring Cleaning, and there are a lot of them. When I have that figured out, I'll probably upload that, too, if you're interested.
This blog is happening whether you're interested or not though, because I just felt like sharing it. I do this shit for free, you quit your bitchin' about lack of game-related material!
I've labeled where I got them if it was a special deal, KSAU is the radio station I DJ'd for that had old CDs we could sometimes take or give away, and Hastings near my college had a metal sale when I was going, so I got those for around $5 and a couple free t-shirts out of it.

As you can see, there's a heavy lean towards heavy and alternative rock music, but there's pop (well, pop-rock anyway), rap, folk, and soul in there too. See if you can spot those.
I forgot to add the stuff I own digitally on my iPod, as follows:
Dethklok: Dethalbum II ... still missing two songs cause of a screwy download; in a very sad trun of events, one of those was "Murmaider II"
Eminem: "We Made You" (music video)
The Black Keys: "Things Ain't Like They Used To Be"
Finally, I just got done watching a DVR recording of Conan from April 3rd, and I usually don't like country, but this guy was really good, in my opinion, so I'll leave you with him:
Apparently, it is a cover of someone named Si Robertson/Old Crow, or so I gather from the comments on the video. Anyway, it's raining here in Texas, so it fit with the atmosphere I'm in today. Have a good one!
Edit: Actually, here are a couple songs I heard the other night on The Adventure Club while I was driving around.
