Themovie, Flushed Away. I still love Routemasters, but I'm not really obsessed with them, like I was last year. :)

But overall, my main obsession is anything history. All Saints Church on Oxford Rd at the moment.


Is there a certain historical period you like? For me, it's a tie between European exploration of the New World, and the westward expansion in the United States in the 1840s and 1850s.

At the moment it's mainly WWII (focusing primarily on Europe). I'm taking to units on Europe/Nazism next year at university.
I find any history interesting though really. When I was younger I was obsessed with Romand, Tudors, the Titanic and the plague.
But as I've got older it's mainly been the nineteenth and twentieth century.
I did a piece of coursework a few months ago on Andrew Jackson and the Removal Policy which was interesting, but I haven't studied much American history.

The big one for me is anime.

I'm also obsessed with the Internet (especially WP) and music.

Historical books on subjects I have limited awareness of. Right now I am reading Bernard Lewis' The Middle East, after a digesting Michael Burleigh's Sacred Causes. In the interum I read part of a book on the early development of the American political parties, and started but didn't really (at least not yet) get into a novel I got from the library by William J. Buckley. Right, now, I am rapidly devouring Professor Lewis' book as opposed to all others.

(long useless monologue started, but thought the better of and removed) I'm use the internet allot too.

MotoGP (I remember watching this happen, I jumped so high on my couch I bloodied my knuckles on the ceiling), Led Zeppelin, Remote control cars, and learning about AS (Just heard about it for the first time a few days ago...)

Brak is also cool.

But my persistant, central obsession is my Yamaha yzf. Period.

(Note that none of these videos were made by me... and I posted the wrong motogp video at first, but put the intended one up now... so watch it again! It was gibernau's fault if you ask me :wink: )
