Some of my latest obsessions.
I've begun to try to finish my U2 collection. This is a long time in the making, going back to when I bought my very first CD: U2's Rattle & Hum album. Since then I've gotten every album and a considerable amount of the singles.
The thing about the U2 catalogue is that it is almost impossibly vast. The boys in that band are never at rest, I swear. Over their 30-or-so year career, they've written about a thousand songs, and participated in innumerable others.
And I'm enough of an idiot to try to collect them all. I've actually got the majority of it, but there are certain kinds of things that stump me pretty well, such as ultra-obscure remixes of the Goldeneye Theme, (the Bond movie theme) that Edge and Bono wrote.
My want list is here.
In addition to that particular obsession, I've been designing a dream home with my wife for quite some time. Ironically, it's been the source of roughly 2/3rds of our arguments in the last year or so. I'm the dreamer and nutcase that comes up with all sorts of crazy things I'd like to see in our home. She's the one who brings me down to reality and tells me whether or not the idea is practical or just insane.
Today, I think we've managed to get the basics down except we're still not sure what to do with the washer/dryer...
