With that title you may think I’m about to talk abut the latest scandal involving a politician and a nightclub, but I’m not.

 Jenny and I are both anal when it comes to filing of DVD’s and CD’s.

For me this is not a new thing that is a result of being married.

When I lived with Tom and his family Tom and I used to regularly spend time arranging the household CD’s into alphabetical order,  After a while Tom’s mum even went and purchased special CD drawers to aid the tidy and appropriate storage of music.

The system worked well, It was always a cinch to find the CD you where looking fo, well I say always actually it wasn’t always so easy. Sometimes people who where not trained or people who had issues with the authoritarian natures of the CD placement would come and visit. Mainly Gem and Mil.

After the above named had visited it was then the task of myself and Tom to search through the carnage and rearrange into the appropriate and acceptable order. Until we discovered that after these visits this was not the only abomination, not only where CD’s out of order but CD’s where not in their respective case. So if I was searching for powderfinger internationalis, I would find the case and open it only to discover Luke Vasella instead.

They where traumatic times.

Now several years later I married a lady that shares my passion for alphabetised bliss.

Tonight we embarked a new journey together,  We not only have our DVD’s in order but we now have them in 4 different categories too.

The categories are

  1. Films
  2. TV Shows
  3. Stand Up
  4. Music

It was a special time we shared together tonight.

    You should hang with my wife. You would get along like a house on fire.

    A well ordered, alphabetised house on fire

    I think I have been unfairly represented in this post. While I confess I have limited respect for the rules about how one plays a CD eg one play a day etc etc I have a lot of respect for cleanliness and order. If you came to my house you would discover that my CD’s, books, DVD’s are all ordered. As well as my clothes, food and almost everything else in my house. Perhaps not alphabetically but certainly according to genre. CD’s that are not put back in their covers are also one of my pet peeves but because I tend to live with and share rooms with people eg my husband and sister who are less anal than me it is often assumed that I am too.
