the interest meme
because I'm about to fall asleep and when I wake up I'll be busy for the next few days...
(nearly delirious)
books - well duh. I'm a reader. As in, I'll walk around doing things while I read. I collect books like other people collect.. collectibles? Anyway, if you've been to my house, you've seen some of my collection in the reading room. Yep, got a whole room just for reading.
culture - well, I am totally interested in culture of all kinds. I feel you can't possibly understand anything having to do with people unless you have a notion of their culture. Ethnocentricity was a concept introduced early to me and with some exceptions, I try my best to steer clear of it.
frida khalo - possibly one of the best surrealists of all time. If you don't know who she is, and you ought to, then look her up. I luvs me some surrealism!
industrial - as in, industrial music. I got into "real" industrial around 1982-3. I was nuts for Einsturzende Neubauten, Z'ev, Swans, Glenn Branca, Diamanda Galas, Whitehouse et al
ReSearch did an awesome book on industrial culture. you should check it out.
making yo-yos dammit - I once heard my oldest son say this. I have no idea what he was talking about but the phrase "make me a yo-yo dammit!" just stuck with me. It kind of exemplifies my hearing disorder.
peter bagge - Hate is just a cool as shit comic.
recoil - sexy and intense. Wowsers, I have some serious associations with this band. All good too. Yum.
sociology - well, if you know me much at all, you know that I am just all about sociology. It's my passion and my lifeblood. There's nothing (except possibly math) that excites, incites, tempts and teases me like studying sociology. Why did I not pursue it in college? Because I could't imagine having a job that would ever be as fun as studying it.
transmetropolitan - quite possibly the best comic ever made. I mean, really. To read transmet is to be addicted to transmet. Really. Words cannot compare.
zoos - I think zoos are the one place I can think of that have always appealed to EVERYONE in my family. At every stage, if I wanted to bring the family together, I'd take them to the zoo. Seriously, can you think of anything that is so universally loved by all ages as the zoo? And don't give me that "zoos are prisons for animals" crap. THey aren't ALL like that. I've been lucky that the zoos I've frequented were all extremely humane, environmental (sometimes you couldn't even see the animals) and non-intrusive. Zoos are excellent for learning too. You can always learn something new at the zoo.
