Besides an obsession with Kate Bush, I've been particularly enthralled with English grammar, punctuation, and style for quite some time. I had a period where I became obsessed with everything to do with Iceland, including the language (which I can now pronounce perfectly). This was mixed in with the compulsion to collect obsolete Apple computers, but that died out quite quickly with a lack of funds. So I'm back to good old English grammar, punctuation, and style again.

I also find each week that I become obsessed with a particular song, and listen to it on a loop until I move onto something new. Right now it's 'Wow' by Kate Bush, appropriately.

you are very fortunate to be so well suited to your job that you consider it fun and not work. 8)

Still into sci-fi, astronomy, physics, and sort of interested in ancient Egypt.

The 2012 Buick Regal that I'd like to lease!

http://www.autovic.com/wp-content/uploa ... 75x316.jpg

It's gotten to the point that I have not only test driven the current models (CXL and Turbo), but have been scouring the Internet for information on the changes to the 2012 model to the point that I can't do anything else on the web without defaulting to the Regal!

By the time I actually WOULD lease one, I fear that I will have driven it many, many more times in my mind as well as having driven one on-the-road!

Crochet. Over the last few months I've made something like fifteen afghans. I think my lifetime total must be heading toward fifty now.
