Applied Narcissism

Couldn't sleep. House too freaking cold. Back up out of bed, furnace is running, being vaguely impulsive or compulsive or obsessive for a moment.

As a brief experiment in applied narcissism I dug out some old lists I had of my anime, manga and music library and back-dated them as posts to June of '99 and tossed them up as links in the side-bar.

Now, other then the whole 'look at what I have' aspect of it, the theory is that people will see that and suggest things that they themselves like (if they have similar tastes) or ask questions about things they see I have that they want to know about (assuming that my selection doesn't scare them off).

The other part is that it means that if I go shopping, and have net access, I can figure out what the hell I have so I don't buy myself a second copy of something.

As far as I can tell, the music cd list is pretty accurate with maybe a couple cds from my time in NC missing from it. The anime and manga lists date back two years ( lifted them off a similar listing I used to have up at hythia.com ) and I'll need to update them tomorrow.

House is warmer now. Sleep is calling. Not sure why I need sleep, I have another all day meeting tomorrow which means another day without needing my brain.

Edit: Actually, looking at the list again, I am missing a hell of a lot of classical music off of it. Mostly Wagner and some Russian composers whose names I won't even attempt to spell. Frick. Where did those cds get packed...

Holy crap you have a lot of stuff. o.o

I noticed a distinct lack of Escaflowne in that anime list... if you're looking for suggestions, I'd pick up the movie first (A Girl in Gaia), as it's much more action-oriented than the series, to see if you like it. It's a really neat mecha/fantasy title.

Assuming you didn't already know about it.
