ok, i've got a bit of the OCD. i like to make lists and organize things. groundcat and i share a netflix account, and we're up to over 300 movies. and i hate the way it's organized! you have one big list (called a "queue") and you can only change the order, you can't sort by category, title, or date added. it's just a big ugly list.
i want to be able to sort these movies by genre (we have so many horror films, i could do a whole sub-genre of "horror- zombie" films!) i want to be able to sort them by who added the film (me or the boyfriend.) i played around with the list of the website, and there is no way to export directly into an excel doc. i tried various ways of "select all" and then copy and paste.
i ended up spending 3 hours trying to copy & paste into excel, removing all the embedded formats, and manually deleting additional spaces. horrible!
i went online to research and found an interesting article that basically says, "there's no way to get the info from netflix into an easier format, you're screwed!"
i know, no one cares. i just had to vent!

A bit of the OCD? HA!
nomy, i will kick your gmail lovin' ass! right after i sort my sock drawer.... i can't decide if i should sort by color or length.... and what about texture? is there a way to cross reference my socks? some sort of sock matrix?????
well, for now i'll just count to 5 over and over, until i can wah my hands (using the middle sink only, not the end sinks, because that would really mess up my day!)
p.s. "wah" should be "wash", of course, but y'all know that...
3 comments so far. 3 is the number of ice cubes i like in my beverage. this, of course, is if the ice cubes are standard rectangle sized, the kind you make in trays. if it's the small chips then i don't count them, i'm not THAT crazy!
no, if it's chips then you fill 50% of the cup. but i don't need to tell you that!
ok, 5 is my lucky number.
5 comments. perfect. now if my socks aren't inside out, i'm in business!!!!!!

I say 7 is the magic number...It is in crap shooting...I am a lister as was my mother, so I say it must be hereditary...I have all kinds of lists...I may even have a list of my lists...Love to make lists...

And also I heart groundcat.
Oh Lord, I knew my sordid past would bite me in the ass someday...HAHA!
