Speaking of spam.

Because, that's what I'm doing today, after all, being it's Sunday, it's gorgeous outside, my hip hurts, and I have decided to undertake a massive project that involves finally, slowly, starting to organise the fifty gazillion CDs/DVDs I've got in piles on my desk.

Anyway! I was talking about spam.

I just received a spam e-mail, with the subject line: "Classy drugs at very low prices!"

And here I am, blinking at it, and I think, What in the world is a "classy" drug, anyway? Does it make you dress up in a tuxedo and top hat, regardless of gender, grab a monocle and peer through it at people whilst calling them "Old boy"? Does it make you polite to the point that your average Canadian would be impressed? Does it make you listen to classical music and wax poetic about, I don't know, fine wines and expensive cheeses?

These are things I think about.

I NEED DISTRACTION or something.

And when you have finished your huge project you can come over and do mine. :D

I spent the day on my quarterdeck, cleaning and prettying it up. *g*

Oh, man. This project is going to be terrifying and... well, it IS terrifying, and it's going to continue to be terrifying.

1) I managed to take 3 CDs full of files from my vid-making (old, old vids, formats that can be put on my website, etc), down to 1 DVD. Though I have found more files to sort through on other discs. Need to add them to the DVD.
2) 4 CDs of projects/assignments from elementary/high school and college, to 1 DVD.
3) 8 CDs storing video files like clips from shows/movies, actor interviews, and movie trailers, plus extra files spread over about another 5 CDs mixed in with other things. After I finish deleting stuff I no longer want/doesn't play for some reason, and then organising them so they make some sense, I should be able to get that down to about 2 DVDs.
4) There are five CDs/DVDs that have "work" stuff on them -- being my website and graphic work and my photography. Those need to be put back on the computer and sorted, and I should be able to fit these onto a single DVD, but I may keep them separate. Also 2 CDs of "My Documents" folders. Should be able to be organised and put on 1 DVD. And then there's the backups I've done for various software. Need to go through those.
5) The most terrifying task of all -- the 20 CDs & DVDs that contain fannish pictures. Celebrities and promotional stills and screen captures from movies and TV. These are almost completely unsorted. I have no idea how many multiples I'll have. This more than anything frightens the pants off me.

I am mildly obsessive-compulsive about my organisation. I don't know how I let this get way from me!

I don't know how I let this get way from me!
I'm afraid this happens. I also have to kick myself in regular intervals to stay half-way organized.

I am sure that you will emerge triumphant. :D

And as I said, then you can come and do my bits and stuff.
