It’s been a while since I’ve discussed my wife and her quirky traits, so I thought I would remedy that. For previous insightful entries about analysing her, please see here about her choices of books, TV shows, and movies.

To set the scene, I shared some ideas with her, but she considered my suggestions and proposed a topic that was far better than what I had originally come up with. Like anyone else, she often talks to me about various unusual topics that pique her interest, and these interests have evolved over the years.

This includes when I’m watching rugby or reading, she will start discussing some new or crazy topic. I love her, but the All Blacks would be playing, and she decides now is the best time to talk to me about her new interest in following Mongolian throat singing, or something to that effect.

I have compiled a collection of her new and random interests, along with the rationale behind each one, presented in her own words whenever possible. Additionally, my wife has noted that she has interests beyond just watching things; these are simply her latest random pursuits. She believes that this makes her pretty cool.

So, without further fanfare, let’s get started!

Watching snake eggs hatch:

I think its fascinating and the eggs are soft and just so un-egg like (Molinaro Snake Lab to be precise).

Watching restoration videos:

The rustier the better, I just like all the steps and processes involved. (Chip Channel Restorations and The Fabrick to be precise)

Manufacturing videos:

Like food factory stuff. It’s just great what people have come up with to make life easier and I find it exciting.

Prop making:

I like watching other people make stuff, while I’m making my own stuff. It’s great to understand their thought processes around problem-solving. It’s like you’re working with an arts and crafts buddy. (Rachel Maksy to be precise)

Bardcore music:

I have no explanation for this, I just like it because it’s cool. (Hildegard von Blingin’ to be precise)

British Football chants:

So hilarious, unexpectedly funny and just really creative.

Keith Richards memes:

Another illogical one because I’m not even a fan of his; they are just funny.

Comedy music artists:

Music + humour. What’s not to like? They tickle my brain. I really like Tom Cardy, Rhett and Link, and Flight of the Concords. Also ERB (Epic Rap Battles of History) has the bonus of learning stuff too.

That is just what’s happening with her in the first half of 2025. I’m anxious about what the remaining months of the year hold for her.

Do you enjoy any of these interests like my wife? Is she correct, and agree that she’s cool? As always, please let me know.

This blog is shorter this week, but I’ll make up for it next week because we’re going back to 1958. Yes, Billy Joel would likely be disappointed in me.

Thanks again for reading, following, and subscribing to Some Geek Told Me. Please remember to walk your dog, read a banned book, and I’ll see you next week.

Also having two conservative billionaires having a very messy public break-up, at the beginning of Pride Month, via their own social media platforms, is catty, petty, and bitchy. I’m ashamed that I love it.
