Lists, lists, lists ...

To think that I used to laugh at people who kept lists and data ... couldn't quite figure out why. Still don't really know the whys and wherefores ... but I'm slowly getting addicted to my own stockpile of lists.

I've got a yellow caution light popping up ... reminding me that at some point there will be too many lists ... and the ensuing frustration will be of my own making ...

Time will tell ... won't it? (giggle)

Whatever ... consider this the birth announcement of my movie list ...
