Hobbies or "Get a Life"
Matt or Suzanne
we do sit here and drool over Leo. While it is true that we all (almost
all, Rick<g>) find Leo delectable we all have other interests as well,
so let's share. Mine are:
reading--Middle Ages, King Arthur, celtic mythology, New Age
sewing--historical sampler reproductions, quilts, clothes
music--all (except rap and country)
art--all, but mainly medieval and renaissance
Next?
Suzanne
Paul and Jill
These are mine:
reading--especially Toni Morrison! and other black American 20th century writers
cooking--dessert, anyone?
music--I specialize in bad 70's music :-)
art--American, Impressionist and post-Impressionist
alt.support.mult-sclerosis--probably my most important "hobby"
I still need to get a life, though :-)

I like this idea Suzanne! It did make me think about ME however. That's not
something I have a chance to do a lot anymore. Let's see...
1. Travel (we have a map of the world with pins in it, to see where we HAVEN'T
been.
2. Art and antiquities (I guess I do have this in common with LEO). My
favorites are Renoir, Degas, Manet, Monet, VanGogh, Picasso... the Dutch
Masters.... (anything that is not a black dot on a white canvas). I am
fascinated by how they use paint to make light! I could live in the Museee
d'Orsay and the Louvre!
3. The internet
4. Cooking (ex-boyfriend was a chef)
5. People watching
Gosh, I guess there are a lot of things I like to do when I have TIME.

chair. I can't remember the title, but the cover looked interesting. I think
it is a murder mystery set in NYC around the turn of the century. Does this
sound familiar? Am I thinking of the right one? Is it really good? Do I
need to move it up to the top of the stack? Is it a sequel? Should I read the
first one first? Inquiring minds need to know these things<g>

You mean, we have to have other hobbies *besides* drooling over Leo?! This
is too much! <g> Mine are:
Films - I'm no Barry Norman, but I like to watch them, so I guess it's an
amateur interest thing. My faves are Shallow Grave, R&J, The Empire strikes
back, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Brassed Off.
Music - Radiohead, Catatonia, Jewel and Movie Soundtracks.
Reading - modern fiction mostly. I have recently enjoyed Bridget Jones'
Diary, The Beach, The Regeneration trilogy and A Life Less Ordinary (the
screenplay).
Cooking - Vegetarian, italian-influenced stuff. Lots of calorie-laden
puddings!
Fashion - I love clothes and makeup. Style-wise I would say I'm
classic/urban, with a fondness for retro detailing. My favourite designers
are Calvin Klein, Alberta Ferretti and Pearce Fionda. I'm a lurker on
alt.fashion, where I've developed a love for expensive makeup, including MAC
and Stila, and I indulge my glittery tendancies with Urban Decay and Hard
Candy.

the Art Institute in Chicago. My favorite painting displayed there is
Homer's "The Herring Net". There is something mystical about it in the
way it depicts the continuous struggle between humans and nature and how
it leaves no doubt how powerless we are in our conflict with the
enormous forces of nature. Then, of course, there is the masterpiece
"Sunday Afternoon on the Island..........." paintrd in pointalism by
Suerat. A gem, wouldn't you agree? Let'snot forget Wood's "Ameican
Gothic", arguably the most recognized American painting and Picasso's
"Mother and Child" and "The Old Guitarist".
I must admit that my hobbies, however, are participating in team
sports such as basketball, touch football, and 16 inch slow pitch
softball, a sport that originated in Chicago during the Depression, and
is still the most popular sport played during the summer in
Chicago(yes, I have stats proving this statement) in regards to the
number of participants playing the game.Another hobby is bowling.
Bowling is another very popular sport played throughout Chicagoland by
countless thousands of individuals. And also collect sportscards.
Fortunately,I have been collecting cards for quite some time and my
collection includes 18 of the 1985 Topps Mark McGwire rookie, 12 of the
1987 Fleer Michael Jordan, 8 each of the 1984 Topps rookies of Marino
and Elway---did you read that, Thergirl? I am very proud of my
sportscards collection.
And yes, I have to now include as a hobby surfing the internet on
my web-tv, which, by the way, give me access to many more web sites than
AOL.com, for example.
Yes, my hobbies keep me very busy. Too busy, I',m afraid because I
find myself neglecting other more important things in life.

Mine are:
Mythology: Dragons, griffons, unicorns, Greek and Roman myths and
stories.
Ice Skating: I spend several hours at the rink every week. I also love
hang gliding, although I don't get to do it much.
Theme Parks: King's Dominion, Busch Gardens, Sea World, you name it. I
especially love roller coasters.
Traveling: Unfortunately, I've never been off the US East Coast, but
I'd love to travel the world. I especially love big cities, like New
York. Relatives keep going to London, but leaving me behind. ;P I'll
get there one of these days.
Drama: My greatest dream is to be an actress, typical as the statement
may sound. ;) I convinced my parents to help me out with hopefully
finding an agent, etc, once I get my braces off (not too much longer!)
I'm just itching to get started now.

I just laugh so much about your description of *some* kind of "modern" art -
"anything that it not a black dot on a white canvas". Suzanne and me just had this
discussion yesterday about "vernisages", where a lot of people, dressed up like
hell, in black of course, stare for hours on a black dot on a canvas, drinking
Prosecco, trying to find a sense in it....>g<
And: reminds me to last year, when I have "experienced" a modern chinese opera
called Marco Polo. My ears hurted after about 10 minutes, my eyes after about 20
minutes, my whole head after 30 minutes, and after the 2 1/2 hours of the opera I
had to stand another hour with people discussing, how brilliant it was......
btw: I * love * Puccini-operas ! And most of all "Turandot" !!!

Art. I like all kinds of art, but mostly surrealists like Dali and Ernst. I like Van
Gogh and Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec too. Also lots of modern artists. Quite a
collection.
Books. I love poetry, especially Rimbaud. (No big suprise, huh?) He is totally
awesome and I want to learn French so I can read his poems in their original
language. I like to read biographies. I read Rimbaud's biography and I read one
about Oscar Wilde . He's cool too. He had a real cute boyfriend.
Movies. Awesome movies like Leo movies of course and all kinds of science
fiction stuff and historical movies too. I like old movies too with guys like
Brando and James Dean.
Music. Alternative stuff. NIN,KMFDM, Siouxie and the Banshees, Tom Waits,
Ministry, Manson, Nick Cave. I just started liking classical stuff too. Beethovan.
Mozart.
Fashion. Um...I like wearing black, like leather and black silk. I like wearing
my kilt and the whole dress outfit. When I'm 18 I get to wear a dirk. :) I'm trying
to learn how to sew because then I can make cool stuff. I like medieval stuff too,
the costumes are real cool.
I like knights and dragons and playing AD&D sumetimes. And I like animals

The first book is called The Alienist. It's a murder mystery set in NYC
at the turn of the century. It's full of history, but the story itself
is fiction. It gives lots of info about the beginnings of forensic
science and psychology (an "alienist" was the term used for
psychologists).
The second book is called Angel of Darkness. It's a kidnapping and
murder mystery set in NYC at the turn of the century. I'm only about 20
pages into it and it's taking me forever to get hooked. A friend said
the first 50 pages are slow but it just takes off from there and is
great. There are lots of references to the first book, so read the
Alientist first. Yes, I would move the Alienist up on your list.

They just staged this in the Forbidden City in Beijing. I heard it was

Thanks! I realised that I could have gone on for ages so I cut it short.
But I forgot one important thing - is anyone else in here a Star Wars
freak? I can recite all three movies word for word - I love them! Once I
was playing a trivia quiz game with a bunch of foreign correspondents
and one of the categories was star wars. I'm usually very laid back and
let others sort out disagreements, but not on this topic. I jumped up,
grabbed the answer sheet, and refused to budge on some answers. (Duh!
Everyone knows that Darth Vader is Luke's father, but what is his REAL
name?) <CE> so do you think Leo likes Star Wars?
<snip about art>
I wish I knew more about art. I like Matisse and impressionists, and
also Chinese caligraphy. Diedre, I had to laugh at your modern art bit -
there is a painting in the Philadelphia Museum of Art called "Tundra"
which is white paint on a white canvas. That's it. !!!!!
> Another hobby is bowling.
I love bowling! DH is very good - he gets over 200 almost every game and
once got 280. I usually make it to 100, but not much more. When I went
bowling for the first time as a brownie, I got 32!

You should insure it. I've seen MM rookie cards going for hundreds of
dollars on e-bay.

But if your hobbies bring you together with others who have the same
interest, and you make new friends (or sustain old ones) that *is*
life!

Hi Jennifer! Here's another Star Wars Fan :-)!!!!!!!
Unfortunately I can't recite the whole movies, but for sure some parts. Great
movies, milestones for all following movie productions.
Have You seen the trilogy when it now was reproduced with new tones and more
film material? Interesting.
<CE> What about Leo as Darth Vader? In the new episodes George Lukas is
filming, wouldn't that be a perfect role? Darth Vader was a good guy in the
beginning and his development until he's becoming a bad guy, would be a quite
interesting role on my opinion.
(I know that I don't have to tell you, Jennifer, what is all about DV.)

I am also more with modern art than the old one. For me even a black dot on a white
canvas can make sense, but not generalized, it always depends on the whole "thing".

I love reading biographies as well. That fits to my other "hobby": *people* (Going out
and meeting friends or new people is my most favourite "hobby"). Biographies are so
interesting and one can learn much by reading others history. Regarding Rimbaud: his
writing is absolutely awesome. - BBforLeo - try to get a "two language version" of his
work. Than you can read the French texts without having to know the exact meaning of
every word but you will get the "spirit and sound" of the language. It's exciting.
BBforLeo, are you writing poesie or novels?
> Movies. Awesome movies like Leo movies of course and all kinds of science fiction

Movies in general are fascinating me, and of course I like older movies as well.

Music? My passion! I already posted so often my favourite Bands and kind of music. For
not beeing annoying I won't do that again <g>. (Only one statement: at the moment I am
listening a lot to Depeche Mode, as I will see them in concert soon :))

You're rigth, Medieval stuff is cool. I mean, "cool" is somehow the right expression.
But please don't get a dirk or any other weapon.
"Sewing" fits in this newsgroup also, because some of the ladies in here know how to do
this quite well.

"Monsters" are not my cup of tea, but the knights and dragons fit in the Medieval
interest. I like animals as well, but for me the most fascinting favourites are the bit
scary ones like spiders, insects in general, reptiles and specially sharks. Well, here
we go with "monsters" <g>, but for me these aren't "monsters".
Elke
P.S. <CE> Leo likes reptiles as well, at least lizards and chameleons :-)
P.P.S. What's playing "AD&D"?

Yes, Jennifer, I'm a Star Wars fan! (god, we make it sound like some sort
of support group - my name is Liz and I'm a star wars fan!) I don't know
all the important trivia stuff, but I loved the films, so I guess that
counts. So is anyone else eagerly awaiting the prequels with (sigh) Ewan
in?
Puck
now, though...
when i'm not working, i'm usually either taking photographs or digitally
destroying their integrity in photoshop. ;) i also draw and write,
although (aside from online) i haven't done much of those lately. i read
ayn rand, socio-political subjects, and graphics software books.
(exciting, eh?) i also have a soft spot for cheesy vampire novels. my
taste in music now leans more towards new wave, but i also love industrial
music, especially without vocals. as far as art and literature goes, i'm
still stuck in the romantic/preraphaelite era: byron, shelley, keats,
millais, burne-jones, and julia margaret cameron.

8) I want a dirk though, Elke. I like weapons and my dad teaches me to have
proper respect for them. I might even get a broadsword when I'm 18. It's way
awesome. And I do have a two language version of Rimbaud's poetry.Your right.
I read the French..well, not really read it...and I read the English and its way
different sometimes.
AD&D is a fantasy role playing game and I like to play it with my friends
sumetimes but I havent played a lot recently. I got other interests now....LEO!
*grin*
I saw MITIM again yesterday. Oooooooooooh. I like Leo with longhair and I
really really liked him as Louis. I always like the more evil guys I guess. He
was so great. When he was all gagged in the boat you could see how mad and
like seething he was. He looked so different as Philipe. His eyes were
different..all soft and loving.

I love crafts and sewing of any kind, am currently learning quilting,
reading, mostly murder and lawyer mysteries. Grisham is my favorite.
I like counted cross stitch, building doll houses, rubber stamping.
That's just about it for now. I enjoy watching decorating shows on TV. I
plan on learning how to build furniture and that sort of thing someday, when
the kids are bigger. Basically, if it requires any kind of creativity then
it's good for me. Ü

Good boy 4me2no--you have excellent taste. Two of my brothers have Elway's

years ago and got him to autograph them.

I'm the outdoorsy type--love hiking, camping and especially skiing. I'm into
lots of other sports too--a jock at heart! I love to read, but it seems like
the only reading I do these days are the books assigned for classes--not too
stimulating usually.
I love people, and enjoy partying and just hanging out with my friends and
family. I like playing with my dog too. He's very cool.
I also love music and art--I am actually a fairly decent artist, but again, not
much time lately to indulge in it. When I do paint, it's usually in the
impressionist style. I'm really into color and texture, and focus on these in
my paintings. I've had some of my work displayed in a few galleries in Aspen
and Boulder, and have even sold a few. I guess if the Psychology career
doesn't work out, I have something to fall back on.
I also love to travel, although I haven't had the opportunity to do much of it.
After I graduate, I would love to be able to take a year and just travel all
over the world. If only I had the money, which I don't, so the chances of me
being able to do this are really slim. Oh well...

Ewan plays the young Obi Wan (Ben) Kenobi. The thing with Ewan is that he
is so versatile - he can play anyone. But I find he's best at characters
who are just a little bit wicked, 'cos he has this smile... Ahem! I'd
reccomend "Shallow Grave", "Trainspotting" or "The Pillow Book" if you've
not seen any Ewan films before. Grave is my favourite film of all time -
it's very funny and very dark. Good hair too. Trainspotting is sorta like
Pulp Fiction - you have to see it at least once in your life, it's a film
landmark. The accents are a little hard to understand sometimes, and it's
not a film for the squeamish, but it's *excellent*. "The Pillow Book" is
the most visually beautiful, rich film I have *ever* seen. It's set in
China, and it's the tale of a young girl who is a calligrapher, and her
quest to write a Pillow Book, like Sei Shonagon. She does this by writing
her beautiful calligraphy on people - Ewan plays Jerome - a translator who
becomes her Lover and in turn her "paper". There is quite a lot of nudity,
and I know it's a cliche, but it's really artistic, and the film is very
watchable. HEY EVERYONE - GO RENT THIS MOVIE!!
Okay, I'm done!

Yeah, "Velvet Goldmine" which centres around the life of a glam rock star,
Jonathon Rhys-Meyers, Toni Colette (Muriel from Muriel's Wedding) Eddie
Izzard star in it. It's loosely based around the lives of David Bowie, Iggy
Pop and Lour Reed. S'posed to have a kicking soundtrack, with the divine
Brian Molko from Placebo making an appearance. Also "Rogue Trader", which
is a real life story about Nick Leeson, the trader who swindled loads of
money and brought Barings Bank down. Also starring Anna Friel (Beth from
Brookside).
Glad to help!
