Well, my wife has plenty of them (which I would love to lose somehow). Wait! Wasn't I about to mail something to you? I may have an idea to help me out and, uh, let us say, broaden your musical exposure, Zee.

i think you would be much much better off making them into a chandelier.

trust me.

That's great!

i'm glad everybody likes it. if you decide to make one, and if like me you very cleverly (

) realize that it will be much easier to make clean holes in the plastic for the wires if you use something hot like a soldering iron, take a little tip, do that outside. at the very least make sure you are near an open window. take my word for that.

I saved a bunch of those internet CDs a while back with the voiced intention of "making something out of them." I never did get around to it, of course. Good on you for actually carrying through when I failed! I somehow feel slightly vindicated for having saved the blasted things in the first place.

i'm not the only one. some friends of mine make a "christmas tree" out of different things every year, usually it doesn't look anything like a tree at all, it's just an excuse to make a really big decoration for a few weeks. one year they took a lot of hula hoops and tied them together and then attached a bunch of cds 2 by 2 with the label on the inside and hung them from the hoops with fishing line. it didn't look much like a tree but it was really pretty.

so you don't even have to break them and pierce holes in them, if you don't want to ; you could make something with whole cds. i still have a stack of them, my friends keep giving them to me. you want me to send you some ?

I'm in total cute boy overdrive right now- I watched the last hour of "Phantom of the Opera" (mmmm Gerard Butler), and just watched the newer "Pride and Prejudice" (mmm Mr. Darcy).

No, really!

What are you trying to do, make the Muffin Man leave me???

(We still get plenty here anyway.)

I do have a Dremel tool with a drill press, should I decide to drill holes rather than using a hot wire. However, I think that, too, should be done in a well ventilated area.

zelda_pinwheel · 01-11-2009, 08:11 PM

seriously, you still get internet cds ??? i haven't seen one of those in *years* ! all the internet companies are giving a "box" now, for high speed internet ; i don't think mine even came with an installation cd (a remote control, yes, however, for the television ; that still strikes me as strange. i never used it).

(oh, and i would *never* try to make the muffin man leave you ! because who would make you scones then ???)

nekokami · 01-11-2009, 08:12 PM

Occasionally one comes in a magazine. I also have old backups.

No school like the old school!

BTW, I've been dropping hints about what I was doing yesterday, but no one seems to have picked up on them....

zelda_pinwheel · 01-11-2009, 08:20 PM
