I have SpIns that are constant and SpIns that rotate. By "rotate" I mean it will take center focus for me for a long period of time, before something else takes up my main focus. (I differentiate these from fixations because rotating SpIns usually come back several times AND are usually in the back of my mind, even if not the main focus.)
CONSTANT:

THEATRE
I enjoy theatre and acting in all of its forms, but I am heavily biased towards musicals.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY
Some favorites include:
Dionysus and Ariadne, The Odyssey, Orpheus and Eurydice, Icarus, the Minotaur...very popular ones I know but hey.
ROTATING:

GEORGE SALAZAR
and the projects he's been a part of, such as Be More Chill, Two-Player Game, Hunter S. Thompson, etc.
(I've met him TWICE!!!)

STEAM POWERED GIRAFFE
A robot band that combines music, comedy, pantomime, puppetry, and improv. They've got lore. I've made several presentations ABOUT said lore. One album needs a dedicated timeline. Yeag.

The Magnus Archives
A horror anthology podcast centered around an institute that researches paranormal encounters. I can and will sit my friends down and explain the 14 Fears.

The Mechanisms
A storytelling musical cabaret comprised of immortal space pirates that retell mythology and folklore as tragic space epics set to folk songs. Do not let me have the aux cord.

WELCOME TO THE TABLE
A webseries where Ben Brainard dresses as the 50 states + government agencies to give news updates. I just really like personifications okay.
