My son's main obsession is the Titanic....but he goes through
different phases and right now it's speed racer (I bought the original episodes on DVD) or cars in general. He has had many
obsessions but always seems to go back to the Titanic. When he
is obsessing about other things, Titanic is still in the back of his mind beacuse he will every so often talk about it.

I have a massive obsession with numbers and mathematics, but I also have been thinking about music a lot lately. So I know how you feel.

I think so.

I have a recurring interest in progressive Jewish theology, hasidism, spiritual and personal development but for the past few days I've been very intensely focused on the game Toribash. Yesterday I had a very strange experience, a conflict of interests where I really wanted to play Toribash but also wanted to check out the new version of the Vetox simboards that were released in Second Life.
