restocking

so one way you can pass the time on Christmas Eve is to restock that little bag of CDs you carry everywhere with you, in case you need a music fix right now. Mine holds about 32 CDs plus CD player. In case of dire emergency I've got an old one that just holds 50 CDs, but I found it really hard to settle on an extra 18 titles. Anyway, for people who like lists :

...so it looks something like this :
