Lately, I've been really getting into stand-up comics (my wife too). I see above Ceej is too and I know Lightning Lad does as well.
Last year it was Kurt Vonnegut in a big way.

I don't really have any new interests at this point. Given my financial status, it's just as well.
Suppose I could add that I love, love, to cook-- even though the kitchen at chez_cleome is awful. I still manage to get some enjoyment from preparing food for myself and others.
(And you don't wanna' know how many ridiculously over-endowedpowered kitchen gadgets I covet. Other middle-aged people have their Red Corvette dreams, I've got dreams about this.)

Sadly, Sir, I am not now nor have I ever been a redhead. I do have some first cousins on Mom's side with that coloring, but that's all.

Currently, I'm giddy with anticipation for Steve Bissette's return to comics with Tales of the Uncanny, and for Steve Epting taking over the art on Fantastic Four.
I'm also going through something of a Nickelodeon phase, although the only show of theirs I follow religiously is VicTORIous, sort of a G-Rated 21st Century bubblegum version of Fame. It's great fun.

iCarly is cute, but VicTORIous is hilarious. I'm surprised your kids don't watch it, although it's relatively new (only been on since March, and only a few episodes aired to date.)

I dunno, it seems slightly more grown-up than iCarly. Not a whole lot but just a bit. They're 12 and 7, so maybe that factors in. Doesn't hurt that iCarly is on ALL the time, either. BTR has the advantage of having catchy songs and music videos that they like.

Hmmm ... I've been told by several people that when I'm a fan of something, I am really a fan of something ...
Nelson DeMille... I've been to a signing for every book he has put out for the past twenty years
Mike Birbiglia... an awesome stand-up comic I've seen perform just about every time he's in NYC for the past six years
Amy Grant... though a lot of people forgot about her after "Baby Baby" in the early nineties, I still follow her 'religiously,' including her most recent tour in July as well as an "incident" at a bookstore in NYC a couple of years ago when I <sigh> got up and sang a duet with her
Harry Potter... don't ever get me started on this topic
Calvin and Hobbes & Bloom County... back in high school, I had a cat named Hobbes... in my high school yearbook, under my picture it lists my future plans as "To move to Bloom County and marry Lola Granola"
The West Wing... see Harry Potter comment
Jaws... I've told this story before elsewhere on LW, but when I was three years old, my mother thought it would be a good idea to take me to see Jaws with my older brother and his friends... a lifelong fear/obsession with sharks was born...
Survivor... BEST SHOW EVER!
I think that's enough for now...

My non-Legion obsessions? Other than my family?
Travel - been to all 50 states of the US and all 10 provinces of Canada. One of these days I hope to get the kind of money it will take to do international travel.
Kansas City Royals - I have a collection of every yearbook, a baseball card or photo of every player to take the field for the team...what can I say, I'm a fan.
LOST - No explanation necessary, I imagine. My favorite TV show of all time, easily.
