Last song you listened to: what comes after the blues by magnolia electric co.
Last movie you watched: Key Largo dir. John Huston
Last show watched: dandadan, the righteous gemstones
Currently reading: Is this even a legitimate question at this point for me lol. I read so slow and won't touch anything for months. Last thing I skimmed was The Body Populace: Military Statistics and Demography in Europe before the First World War by Heinrich Hartmann
Current obsession: Cats. I don't know. My ever lingering interest in wwii. The German perspective, the civilian perspective, society both Western and Eastern and the response to it. Social culture in Germany from 1910ish to 1960ish. Ripuarian dialects (which I can barely research because my German is ridiculously poor and subpar at best). Sexuality during wartime + post war Europe. The loss of niche cultures and dialects in post war Europe. How Germany and Europe have reconciled with the past + how it hasn't. The connection between everything sociological and anthropological past and present and how it makes me feel totally unhinged.
More distantly and faintly because I can only have One Obsession to dedicate myself to in this lifetime — Japanese folklore, the myth of the 'American' cowboy in modern memory and the exaggeration. Twentieth century industrialization and loss. Italian Mafia both in Italy and the US. Werewolf lore. Cinema as a whole esp the birth of it up through the early 90s.
