I need to get some shelves on which to store that part of my CD collection[*] which doesn't fit into the tower I bought it last year.

Can anyone recommend (preferably inexpensive) shelves which will do the following:

(a) fix securely to a flimsy wall.
(Yes, it's an outside, and alledgedly load-bearing, wall. Sadly, our house was built by nutters who thought swiss cheese was a valid alternative to brick)

(b) for related reasons, be reasonably light

(c) give good CD-storage for amount-of-wall-covered.
(I'm currently 80 CDs worth of shelf space under the odds...)

[*] Sadly, plans to nail the CDs directly to the wall, glue them to the ceiling, or otherwise cause them to hover above the stereo have all had to be dismissed as unworkable.

Oh, no. My CD collections have a nicely inventoried printout from an Access database which I update whenever I add something, saying what's in the collection.

But somehow I think that's just me.

Erm... isn't that message tantamount to suicide, or do I forget your birthday?

I'm not a Virgoan, I just happen to be born in August. Vigoanism is a state of mind :)

Isn't Vigoanism "being a fan of Aragorn?"

Yes, yes, I was about to correct that typo.

Actually, I'm not very well versed in Tolkien, so I don't get the joke, I'm afraid ;)

Not so much a Tolkein joke as an actor joke, and it could equally well be a fan of the devil.
Too few 'g's as well.

Not taking you to see the last film then!

(Viggo Mortensen plays Aragorn)

OK, this runs you into a problem.

Unless [livejournal.com profile] wimble is born in the right time period, then either:

a) Virgoanism seems to have little to do with birthdays, or

b) What you call Virgoanism is just... well, put kindly, a tendency towards certain types of organisation. :)

If you don't claim your Virgoanism...

If you don't claim your Virgoanism then you can't enjoy the appropriateness of this more-than-wonderful Onion horoscope for this week:


Virgo: (Aug. 23—Sept. 22)
Your inhuman thirst for blood will finally be slaked this week, leaving you with just a normal, human thirst for blood.


And here I was hoping we could go hunting together...
