Guilty as charged

norsegirlA lighter set of questions this week: it's all about guilty pleasures. You know, the things you do or eat or watch or listen to that you don't want to tell your friends about, because it's so un-cool.

Name your guilty pleasure when it comes to:
1. Music. Spice girls, Britney Spears, brainless, happy fluff.
2. Food and/or drink. When ordering a nice, healthy salad at a fast food place, would you like fries with that - oh god yes!
3. TV and/or movies. I love House Doctor. There's something sinfully fun about watching the disasters other people are trying and failing at selling because their personal hygiene, common sense or decorating skills are so ridiculously lacking
Example: when looking at a hallway come-dining area the couple has painted yellow from the waist up (including the ceiling), turquoise from the waist down, with a bright red chair rail "what were you going for with these paint colours?" "We were thinking 'Mexican Restaurant' because that's really fun", um, yeah.
Example 2: Can we make sure your rottweiller is penned up in the yard when people come to see the house because he is intimidating?
4. Activities. None to speak of. Sure, I do a lot of strange things, but nothing I won't eagerly talk about. The only things I wouldn't want to talk about aren't activities I enjoy - like housecleaning, who wants to either do or talk about that? Maybe bowling, but since I moved away from my sister and her free-bowling hook-up I haven't really done that at all. And rather than being ashamed, I used to talk loudly about the coolness of being able to bowl for free. And about how it's a great sport because if you're good, that's fun, and if you suck, it's a perfect fox and sour grapes, "well who would want to be good at this geeky sport anyway" kinda thing.
5. Reading material. Reading? I'm supposed to have time for reading? I guess the Philipa Gregory book "The Other Boleyn Girl" (relatively poorly written historical romance fiction) on my honeymoon was the last book I read, so that's it. Webcomics maybe? I subscribe to Martha Stewart's "Everyday Food", does that count? I guess my worship at the temple of Martha has to count for something.
The Questioner says: Don't forget your links!
