Update

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd update you on my obsessed state of mind.

My dad says I've been cheating on David Cook with Bono. Sigh. It's just so difficult to maintain an American Idol obsession once the season is over. I know, David won and he's been everywhere on TV lately. But it's mostly morning shows that I sleep through. And I know the videos are online ... but I just have a hard time keeping up. A U2 obsession is just easier to maintain because there's 30 years of material there for me to collect. And I've been reading that wonderful book. I'm almost finished, a fact which is depressing me! It's just SO good! It makes me laugh, it makes me cry. It's just great.

David Cook is breaking records already. He's got something like 17 songs in the Hot 100 singles chart, I think. That's an AMAZING thing. And he's had the number one song on iTunes for the past week. I am very happy! I'd help him keep the high standings on the charts by purchasing more of his music, but I already have all of his songs. Haha. He's releasing an album this fall, which I will either purchase or get for Christmas. I hope I can just buy it - I'm not sure I could wait for Christmas.

I bought three new U2 songs today. I've been trying to hold out to get an actual CD, All That You Can't Leave Behind. But each day I don't have that album, I die a little. Haha. So, to keep myself from expiring, I bought 2 more songs from that album. I bought "Walk On" and "Kite." Now I have 5 of the 11 songs there, so I will buy no more until I get the actual CD. Then I bought the song "Lemon" from the album Zooropa. I didn't have any songs from that album yet, so there's that. Now I believe I have at least one song from each of their studio albums. Here's the rundown:

I have ...
2 songs from Boy
1 song from October
2 songs from War
1 song from The Unforgettable Fire
11 songs from The Joshua Tree (the entire album)
3 songs from Rattle and Hum
3 songs from Achtung Baby
1 song from Zooropa
2 songs from Pop
5 songs from All That You Can't Leave Behind
1 song from How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
1 song from The Saints Are Coming (Live) single

And then I also have 3 songs from The Joshua Tree that I bought before I got the actual CD ... so I have those songs twice each. I need more songs! I don't feel like a true fanatic, only having 1 or 2 or 3 songs from most of their albums. I need to start selling crap on eBay. Then I might get some money to buy some stuff.

Well. I have work to do. Work for which I will be paid no money, just experience. Bye.
