Since I'm on a on-call job, and business is a bit slow these days, I have quite a lot of free time. I have always been quite into historical books and documentaries especially about WWII and the Nazi (who would have thought) and Soviet regimes.
As of now, I'm getting into cooking and gardening: I'm trying to start up a biodynamic system in that shallow patch of land that I call garden. I'm also starting to enjoy countryside walks alone, with my wife or my friends.

Only things that worries me, is that I've reached three full shots of Slivovitz a day.

Why's that? Is it their price point? Their Scale? I'm just curious, because for 1/6 scale collectors, anyway, Hot Toys is basically the gold standard

Their wallet eating for the most part, and I’m just not a fan of 1/6 scale.
For me, I’m more of a Revoltech Guy. I just love how über poseable they are.

I want to actually be a productive writer of fiction, but my flawed attention span pisses in my general direction, every day.
 
Origami. I've been living in a hotel for a while while I find a new place to live and I picked up paper craft to keep from going nuts. Started with planes, now animals. It's engaging enough for me to sink time into and simple enough that it's not frustrating.
 
recently ive been editing videos a lot, they arent good edits but i think i enjoy making shitty videos? yeah i think thats my obsession right now, editing and producing shitty videos

Sliwowitz is making me very melancholic, be carefull about the quantities (only if you are not from a country where its very common). But its awesome.
My alcoholic obsession is cheap beer, or to be specific, aldi-beer. Karlskrone. My other obsession are watches.
 
I recently started taking my interest in cosplay more seriously since my last project was pretty successful. Currently planning my next one and adding on to another that I did last year.

Well, although Slivovitz is not that common in the Czech Republic, it's not a rare find either; I have a distillery that also acts as a liquor store near my house that has plenty of stuff. Other hobbies that my wife passed me are drawing, scented candles and a passing interest in lepidopterology (she collects butterflies from the world).
 
Horror movies have been a thing for me for a long time.

Last year Mr. Nekro got me a sub to get a Mystery Box from Full Moon entertainment, (the guys that did Puppet Master). I got a box every other month with 4 to 5 DVD (only got doubles a few times), 1 bluray, horror magazines, various little things like bobble heads of characters, ash trays, shot glasses all with things from movies they did, a copy of the Script from the movie Killjoy signed by the cast. It was very much worth it in my option.
 
Considering he's in my avatar I'd have to say Stephen Fry. (But also British comedians.) I discovered him while going through old British Whose Line Is It Anyway on Youtube and I thought he was funny enough to look into. I got sucked into his literature and QI and other shows he was involved in, and his work with Hugh Laurie. Eventually I became a member of his forum and a member of a circle of fans. The only way this interest impacted my life was because of this circle of friends. Some of his most vocal fans used to direct message him all the time and he'd talk to them, and the bossiest control freak in this group controlled everyone in the circle. I realized that they were nutcases and gtfo'd so fast.
Now I just post stuff about him for fans of his and stay away from weird fans. He attracts A LOT of females for some reason.

For a short while I wanted to get into the Sherlock show, but the fandom is fucking insane.

Your story is why I personally stay away from fandoms. As to your observation about his female fanbase, could it be the fact that he's gay makes him appear non threatening to them?

Fandoms are never good. You're better off just making some friends and enjoying shows and movies with them because then it doesn't go into weird territories. I think it's that and the fact that they have empty lives. Some hardcore fans are like that.

And the sad thing is that this doesn't apply only to "big" franchises. Every type of fandom has it's own cringy, hateful fringe.
 
I've been focusing more and more on different styles regarding dog grooming - I've been mainly specialising in Schnauzer style lately - I just think the cut is so nice and neat, it looks wicked.
I have my assessments soon, so I guess it's been sort of forced on me as a hobby.
Otherwise, I love getting into underrated and unknown actors / obscure or B-movie actors. Ditto for movies. I track them down, gif them/screenshot them, and if I can - let the actor know they have a fan. I just think it beats fawning over the usual suspects.
Oh and I've been reading more into organised crime lately - anything prison or crime related is an instant-watch for me. I love that shit.
