I have more memories of the books than the movies. I had the books long before my parents let me watch the movies (at least the 1st two books). My aquarium sits in my library in-between my bedroom and the mancave (AKA The Panther's Lair). Most of my time at home is spent in the Lair and it is themed for the Carolina Panthers NFL team. There are other sports items in here, but the paint and overall design reflect my fandom of the Panthers.
Star Wars was probably a part of me becoming interested in Astronomy early and Star Trek definitely led to my increased interest in it throughout my teen and adult years. That is my #2 hobby after sports and sports cards. I have 2 very different telescopes and a pair of giant binoculars (20x70 w/ zoom to 100x70). I need a tripod to mount the binoculars on b/c they are HEAVY, but a tripod for them will cost more than they did. I also like gardening and meteorolgy. Weather came into my list of hobbies by neccessity because it affects both astronomy and gardening, but it didn't start there. I've been through many Hurricanes and Tropical Storms during my life here in NC. I love to take videos of thunderstorms (tropical or not), just to see the lightning and amazing cloud formations in such violent events.
As anyone can see, I have a variety of interests, but they all tie together somehow. I've lived in the country areas outside of cities for most of my life and that's where gardening comes in. I'm not talking farming though. I like to grow my own vegetables. It's not hard and you save some money, especially considering the drive to towns/cities for food.
