i enjoyed your explanations. i, too, have a thing for folding two-dimensional squares into three-dimensional cranes and other objects. also, you should make those hamlet scripts a reality. poking fun at shakespeare is fun and i'm sure he wouldn't mind in the least (aside from being dead and all).
i'll take a stab at this meme. i haven't done one in a while and should probably post something in my own journal.
Hamlet scripts are scheduled for Some Time In The Hopefully Not Too Distant Future, But Don't Get Your Hopes Up. Ahem. There are a few dialogue-less ones that I'm going to have to sketch out before I forget them though. But. So. Busy.
(Then again, I don't think I'm ever not busy.)

My desire to Finish A Project wins out over my dislike of the tactile qualities of crochet. And those Japanese craft books are so freakin' alluring despite/because of the language barrier. (Japanese crafters are so single-minded that they can elevate anything into a desirable pasttime, is my theory.)

I, possibly not very helpfully for me, live with someone who is good at crochet and enjoys it. Thus I am more likely to enlist her skills to finish something rather than go forth and do something on my own accord. Those motifs though are rather marvellous. *peers at them* Such a tricky thing.
All interest lists become band names in the end, it is some sort of unifying factor.
Arvo Pärt
It is fairly simple - I like minimalist music (and alliterative phrases) and choral music. Put the two together and you get Arvo Pärt. Not to say I enjoy everything he has ever written - there are many pieces I can shrug over as 'oh not again', but a few have a particular weight of silence that appeals. There is something about Spiegel im spiegel that is rather rough. One of the few pieces of 'transcendent' (not my word) music that a young, punk friend of mine plays over and over.
Einsturzende neubautenI am not really a fan of their new stuff. I prefer the much older, German, less harmonious sounds. The chaos that comes out of woven patterns.

*squints* I like the machiavellian crochet, for I to resist having to learn it. Although I am still at the stage of 'no, I will do ANYTHING but.'
