user interests meme, ahoy!

[danschank]

i was tagged by murdermystery to do one of these interest list memes. i like this one better than most memes, so here it is:
"If you comment on this post, I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along

my interests are boring, but you can ask me if you like.

ok, here we go...

(alfred hitchcock, east africa, elegant gothic lolita, field biology, gene wilder, real diners, the virgin mary)

userlist inspired fact: the above mentioned novel dark spring was written by hans bellmer's lady friend/model for those fucked up fetish photos he's famous for.

your user interests are pretty awesome actually... i hadn't read them in a while!

this will be a fun meme to do . . . WHEN I HAVE TIME. ARGH.

oh man, exact change press seems pretty darn rad, so i very much appreciate the info. this year has been the year of discovering that i'm nowhere near as well-read as i once liked to pretend, and I've totally replaced my dvd-buying habits with book buying habits. WHICH ADDS TO ANOTHER REASON WHY I DON'T THINK THERE ARE ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY!

yeah, exact change is a pretty intense resource, no?

I was hoping to find a wiki entry for "british bands" when clicking on your link for 14 Iced Bears. I'm also extremely glad that Mike tagged you to flesh out those particular interests, which I would've probably overlooked in list form (the "curse" of having a broad interests list, I'd say).

for some reason i decided not to hyperlink the interests themselves... i hear those beatle boys hail from britian though, if that helps any...

It's a bonus month for lists of good things.

I'd like to try the meme, though I suspect my interests are dated (to me--I may have lost interest in them). I haven't changed them much since I joined LJ.

(communism, elfriede jelinek, high wind in jamaica [muhahahaha!], hypnagogic imagery, janet frame, multitude, tea)

apologies for the inevitable baggage that comes along with listing communism, but the curiosity is too great to not make the request. hopefully the others are less alarmingly vague choices to write blurps about.

my roommate keeps trying to convince me to read the piano teacher, btw...

my mouth is dreadfully normal though D:
