The title of this blog comes from a song by one of my favorite groups, "Doctor Worm" by They Might Be Giants. It's a silly song, not particularly meaningful, but I thought the declaration "I'm interested in things," that the song's narrator makes, is a distinctly descriptive.
Not only does it tell you this Worm character is interested in things, but that he is the kind of person that feels that this is a major facet of his personality, and I sympathize with the good Doctor on that point. I realized recently, since people are so fond of asking the painfully broad question of "What do you like to do?" that all the things that I like (watching movies, listening to music, reading books, and intermittently participating in the creation of the three) can really be boiled down to one thing: consuming media. I've since decided that consuming media is my one arch desire, and the activity I most pursue in this world. And as such, this blog will focus mainly on the media I do consume and my thoughts on it. It will also serve as a record of the media I endeavor and have endeavored to create, when I do such a thing, rare as it may be.And that, good people of the Earth, is an introduction to my most-likely soon-to-be-neglected blog. Enjoy it while it lasts. I'll leave you with the song that gave this blog, and this post, its name.
