Guilty Pleasures

Thank you Mr. Mielke.  I had not posted in a few days and began to get the “itch” to put something down, but, alas, I really had nothing to write about.  However, Nick was kind enough to inspire me via posting on his guilty pleasures.  As I have several of them, it shouldn’t be too easy to put them out there.  Go, go, gadget bullet-points!!

• Movie News: I incessantly check the trades websites to see who got cast for what, what’s coming out, and so forth.  I love pondering celluloids and make-believes, and so I enjoy my daily excursions to Ain’t It Cool News and JoBlo.com.  I know it is a complete waste of time and I will never be able to use much of the information I glean from these websites without looking like a total dork, but yet I continue to visit them.
• Horrible movies: Case in point….The Fifth Element.  I can not divert my eyes away when it is on.  It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen it on TNT, I feel compelled to watch the whole thing whenever it comes on, which is a lot.  I know how bad it is, but I can’t look away. Additional example….The Underworld movies.  One of my guilty pleasures is vampire movies (laugh all you want, I know how sad it is), and so a film, no matter how flawed, that pits vampires against flippin’ werewolves is a must-see in my book.  Horrible dialogue….check.  Ridiculous plot…..check.  Campy acting that would make Adam West proud….check.  Joe watching it…..double check.
• Hand motions and/or skits set to Christian songs:  I assume I will really get it for this one, but I can’t help it, I love those things.  I have watched the LifeHouse “Everything” skit on YouTube about a million and a half times and I almost cry every time.  I said almost, get off my back.
• Fonts: I really like finding cool fonts on teh intranets.  Enough said.
• American Idol/Extreme Makeover: Home Edition : I just really like both of these shows.  While I may not have the exhaustive list that Nick does (I spend too much time being an elitist to watch that much TV), I do watch AI religiously.  AI was a show that Brit and I watched all the time when we first got married, so I guess it holds a small sentimental value to me.

I hope I have sufficiently embarassed myself for the sake of your reading entertainment.  Have a good one.
