I mean, it's a thought, innit? It's a thought.
That pick-every-seven-interest-and-explain-it meme, because I'm procrastinating on my 2D homework. So booorrrrrriiiiiiing. And I'm completely covered in graphite. Woez.
Apparently none of my neat-o interests fall on the sevens.

A Bit of Fry and Laurie. It's a sketch show from the early 90s featuring Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie and it's better than anything. It's sort of like...you can tell they were friends with all the people doing 'edgy' British comedy at the time, so there's an influence but not really any of the mean-spiritedness, and also you can tell that Fry's obsessed with BBC radio comedy and Laurie likes wearing wigs.
being square
Well, I am, so I might as well embrace it.
dressing like your dad
I probably do. No, really.
false sincerity
Without it I'd be nowhere.
gerald kersh
Um, a dead writer. He wrote books. Night and the City is my favorite; they made some shitty movies based on it, but none of them followed the book at all. His plots have a tendency of collapsing, but his powers of description are unparalleled.

The only show currently on tv that I manage to watch regularly. The show itself isn't that great, but Hugh Laurie's a genius, and Jennifer Morrison is insanely hot, so in my mind it's a winner.
joseph conrad
Um, he wrote Heart of Darkness? But mostly I like him for "Typhoon". And "Falk". Boats, cannibalism, you can't go wrong.
michael caine
Before he played every butler ever, he was a fucking badass. Get Carter is the best movie ever. He's so fucking nuts in that.
patrick o'brian
Um, boats? O'Brian totally pwns Forrester, by the way. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
snow days
Duhhhhhhh.
the 40s
I don't remember what exactly prompted me to add this interest. I know why I have the 20s (Wodehouse! Waugh! Flappers! Cars!) but.... Hmm. Probably the war. Which I'm honestly not that interested in. Uh. MOVING ON.

I just started reading his new(ish) one, with the pictures and the amnesia. I like it. I love Foucalt's Pendulum in all its pedantic, stilted glory, and I love his essays. The historical fiction, not so much.
