For the hell of it, I decided to put together a comprehensive list of all of my ‘material girl’ effects - in my case, being composed of the following:

DVDsrnCDsrnBooks (Hardbacks, paperbacks would take forever!)rnManga (as opposed to other books)rnFigurines & other random collectible stuff

However, after spending a half hour figuring out my DVD collection’s contents and it’s retail value, I decided to put the other stuff off (apart from the manga, being as it’s also easy to get at). Also, within the next three weeks, my CD collection value will increase somewhat, as I’ve got a half a dozen CDs currently preordered:)

Books will be easier than CDs, maybe I’ll do them tomorrow. But until then (and until I can be bothered to actually do a ‘life’ post), here’s my current state of the DVD collection - being DVDs I have actually either bought or have received as gifts (being, from memory, Strassman Live!). Adding the costs up… is somewhat scary.

So with that, here’s a listing of DVDs… and just to kick it off, yes, that’s 159 DVDs in total. Not counting special feature disks and whatnot, as they don’t count… just actual show or movie DVDs. For one person, who is only 22. Wow. Added of course, are my 57 manga volumes at present… starting to sound bad… ^_^

… Looking slightly unhealthy, aren’t I? And that’s without CDs & randoms, as well as small books. Well, my assets (not counting anything actually electrical or computerised) are starting to look more substantial than I thought… and it scares me.

Ah well. I’m just waiting for totals… in fear ^_^

Alca’tariel.
