What are your current obsessions?

[Licorice]

Still writing for a couple hours a day, either drafting, revising, brainstorming, or researching. More recently, playing with Ruby and Windows Powershell.

 

[James Dunn]

At present my obsession is to get as much set up to take my idea of an Autism support group to a community meeting to form a steering committee of those on the spectrum to make it come to life.
I am doing the extra research i need to into a couple of areas I am not sure of and am working through it to create this complete idea to get it to come to being a group

 

[shakeitup94]

Writing stories, which I'm not very good at, the west wing TV show, politics and my usual earthquakes.

 

[Rocco]

The silver and precious metals market, silver coins and painting are my current obsessions.

 

[Emya]

Reading (always), collecting old tea cups/mugs, Charmed (tv show), and silent movie stars.

 

[Rob]

More current obsessions include alpine geography, especially British Columbia and Rocky Mountain geography. Others include recycling and finding new ways to use excess junk in my living space.

I have to admit I have to throw a lot of things away.

 

[Rob]

I love the weather, especially tornadoes!

I watch the Weather Network every day - the graphics and stories are so exciting to watch!

I love the Series of Unfortunate Events!!! That and Sherlock Holmes books were the only fiction I read as a kid!

I hadn't realized it till today, but colour is my current obsession. Shape, form, layout and texture are creative aspects that have always come naturally to me, but colour hasn't come naturally to me at all. I've started to learn a bit about which colours work together and how that different colours can create different 'feels'. I've wanted to wear colourful clothing but never really known where to start, so have being doing online research. I keep going through phases of 'discovering' a colour, and it becomes me 'new favourite colour'. So far there has been indigo, cobalt blue, and my current favourite is gold-yellow. I'm also starting to pay more attention to interior colours and how they influence the feel of a space. I'm finding it really exciting to start to understand how different colours and colour combinations can influence the 'feel' of a visual composition, be it a room or an outfit! I like that, in the same way that the shapes of a group of objects can 'feel' balanced, so too can the colour combinations in of a group of objects. There are also cool and warm colours. There was a design series on the BBC a few years ago which had an episode about colour, so that has formed part of the research.

I once had to refinish a huge complicated machine we built after the corporation that was buying it sent a team down to evaluate the finished product. It passed all the mechanical requirements for working properly,then passed the sound testing to ensure it was quiet enough to be in their facility. Their company psychologist did not approve of the color it was painted,stating that the color we used was not conducive to proper maintenance and would not sign off on it until we changed it to the color she approved. That stunt cost me eight hours of taping and repainting just to collect what was due to us

A long way to go still, but in progress wood front door - I didn't make it, am putting the finish on

 

[watersprite]

my container gardens are doing well now:

 

[watersprite]

A few of my paints. The liquid in the jar is tea. Yeah, the glasses are broken, my glasses are always broken.

and I was thinking, sure kestrel's glasses are broken.
That's because she's a wild woman.
then...I was looking up "wild woman"
clicked this link: The WILD Woman Project: Circles and Circles of Wo(men) Creating the World of Our WILDest Dreams |

I think I said some place I wasn't obsessed, but seem to be
interested in finding information and conveying it....lol

What do you think of the stuff in the link?

 

[watersprite]

tree yeah, Heh, I've been called Wild, and Worse too. I'll check out the link, at first perusal it seems to be a workshop to help women become more wild. That might be interesting for me if I could out-muscle the persistent issue of the social group being too much for me.

The social angle, yeah. Too many at once people....
Like being on a cruise ship.
Circumvent by reading their outline & then DIY.

Beautiful pictures!!

I just caught a passion for gardening - my broccoli seedlings are doing fairly well up to this point. Just ordered 4-4-4 fertilizer from West Coast Seeds in Delta BC. The broccoli is a Romanesco type. Romanesco broccoli is truly amazing - it represents a fractal (a math term) and is truly a sight to see.

What a sight it will be if the broccoli is successful to maturity!

That's great - please take pictures if they're successful?
How super satisfying if you end up eating your fractals for dinner. I wish I could grow broccoli here, but it's too hot and dry in summer (sw Montana). I've only recently moved here so it will be next year that the garden does better. I'm adding compost, growing a few tomatoes and carrots and beets, and will continue digging in "green manure" in the form of lawn cuttings and weeds I've pulled.
Fractals was one of the ways I got my son interested in math.

I've been fascinated with the nomadic lifestyle, its history, and applicability to modern times.
