Guilty Pleasures Meme

(If only in part to stop need_fire from bugging me...)
The first player of this game starts with the topic of "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

1. Gilmore Girls - they're kooky (and I'm not using that word lightly), and they live in this bizarro-world combination of small town america + rich family (acting as a ongoing deus ex machina for every problem). But it's so addictive.....


2. Will and Grace - the HMV card from the sane grandmother went on the 3rd series of this. I now actually, physically own the 1st 3 series of this... and then I watch several episodes in a row, gorging myself on pop culture references ("What's your damage Heather?"), endless jokes on gay society, and pondering if Will can actually be counted as fat (given Jack's endless insults on the topic).


3. Pointless web browsing - or, why I need to build an RSS reader that I like, if only to automate my reading of Slashdot, The Register, my LJ friends list, Planet Debian, Planet Gnome, OS News, etc, etc...


4. OK Cupid - smart dating site. Source of the recent querying here. Sadly most of the interesting prospects are umpteen thousands of miles away, otherwise I'd probably be a lot less incel than right now. I've so far answered 562 assorted questions, plus a long list of assorted "tests".


5. Windows - not a pleasure thing, but defiantly up there under guilt. My desktop machine is *still* running W2K. 95% of everything that's running on it is either runnable on Linux (Firefox, Thunderbird, Azureus, VLC, Gaim, Gvim, Python) or have good alternates (Semagic -> Drivel, Winamp -> XMMS/Rhythmbox), but I wouldn't then be able to play all the games and all the other little random new stuff that I so enjoy. Maybe I'll be able to get away finally with the aid of Xen eventually.....

Tag yourselves folks...

Hey, liking your music!

I was actually considering something along the lines of "music I should be ashamed of" as I could add a Christina Aguilera track, as well as some Busta Rhymes, Avril Lavigne, Sugababes, Spin Doctors, Bangles, Haddaway, etc, etc... but I couldn't really think of a decent title for it all.

don't feel guilty about cheesy music, it's great :)
