I am, possibly, the biggest Anglophile I know, so you could say England's an interest. Also: trashy entertainment magazines, film and to a lesser extent filmmaking (used to be a film student), ancient history, some medieval history, colonial American history, New England, New Wave, Noveau-New Wave, post-punk, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the intarwebz, camp, high camp, some true-crime stuff, anything horror or Gothic, and graverubbing.
After three years at this, uh, unique house of learning, and considering I'm spending this summer up here more-or-less by myself, I'd like to meet anybody, really. :)
XTC, Dave Matthews Band, David Bowie, all kinds of classical but especially Bach, The Jam, Radiohead, The Police, Peter Gabriel, The Cure, The Clash, Badly Drawn Boy, James Taylor, Adam Ant, R.E.M., Genesis, Nine Inch Nails, Danny Elfman, some Sondheim, The (English) Beat, Depeche Mode, David Gray, Talking Heads, Elliott Smith, Hot Hot Heat!, Dogs Die in Hot Cars, New Wave in general, and a whole bunch else I'm forgetting.
Where should I start? My best friend has better follow-through than I do and actually stayed in the film department, so I watch a lot of movies. Better to start off with ones I don't like - rom-coms, puerile teen shit, action movies that take themselves too seriously, and most war movies. That said, I love horror movies, some indie cinema, and I have a deep love for camp and scary actors - Mitchum, Howard Keel, and Vincent Price, anyone? I won't bother listing my 'husbands' of cinema because the list is extensive, but yeah, there's a lot of 'em. :P
Law and Order: SVU, American Justice, City Confidential, Airline, Iron Chef, Desperate Housewives, The Simpsons, The Critic, Absolutely Fabulous, VH1's nostalgia/snark retrospectives, Frasier, Seinfeld, Blind Date, Oz, Night Gallery, The Twilight Zone (NOT the remake), Golden Girls, In Search Of, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Surprised By Design (I'm sorry!), American Idol (again, I'm so sorry) and 800 million others.
Anything Gothic, trashy or not! Poe is a favorite and Lovecraft also amuses although he's too windy. I also love Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Frank McCourt, Dave Eggers, Suzanna Clarke, Neil Gaiman, Christopher Moore, Janet Evanovich (sad but true), Harry Potter (not quite as sad, but also true), Roald Dahl, Thomas Harris, Rod Serling, and so many more. Right now I'm reading 'The Human Stain' and a book about the mutiny on the Bounty, with which I'm strangely obsessed.
Leona Helmsley.No.What is this shit? Heroes? My mom and grandmother.
