Organizational Nightmare

So, been busy today. I have lists of my books, my DVD's, my VHS tapes, and my CD's. Whew! Tomorrow I will HOPEFULLY get started on a list of my work (ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That'll take decades to finish.)

I'm leaving the house in 20, so just wanted to let you know that most of my books, surprisingly, are replaceable should I move to a foreign country whose initials are U and K. I should have known-I'm a sick little classics buff, me.
