Other guilty pleasures that have just come to me...
DVDs that shouldn't be in my collection
I just counted, and there's a large number of films which should NOT be in excess on my DVD list. These include musicals, animation (half of my collection currently are Disney movies
) and culture driven films. I don't know why, but a lot of so called "lad's films" don't appeal to me. Today, I saw Resevoir Dogs on sale in Asda. It just faded into the background, films marketted at kids and women, however, did. Oh well, at least I don't own DVDs about cross dressing unicyclists. 
Shrek
The amount of times the people on this board have made me feel bad for liking the Shrek movies is phenomonal. It seems as if there's at least 100 posts every day saying "Dreamworks sucked!" or "Shrek is a big pile of bunk". Get over the fact that it's fuelled by two greedy studio bosses' dislike of each other. Just watch it for entertainment.
Spending even more money...
I thought that when I could control spending. I was wrong; despite my new year's resolution being to slow down on spending, I keep going ballistic spending.
80s Stuff
I quite like 80s culture. Being born as that decade was about to close, it seems fascinating as most of the decade and its culture appear somewhat imortal as it came before me. Yes, messy hair, the Gummi Bears and saddest of all, Margaret Thatcher (
) seem like beautiful ghosts of the past.

Lilo: Uh-huh. He used to be a collie before he got run over.

Listen on max volume my Phantom of the Opera cd(not from the movie,the OBS)
Make sushis once per week
love the meat--yea,when you coocked at 1/2 term--or time-- the meat its tender but not too soft and the pink color on it it´s just gorgeous. The taste of the juice and the blood than the stakes have gives it an unlikely taste than...oh my, I´m imagine it right now--and the sound than it makes when you just ripped out from the bone itself...
oh,yea, and Piñas coladas

I really need to update my list
9. Still fantasizing about my high school crushes (on real people)
10. I collect R.L. Stine Fear Street books, but I stopped after the cover designs changed too much - how much of a dork was I?
11. Watching Even Stevens on the chance Nick Spano might be shirtless during the episode
12. Knots Landing - an 80s soap opera that my mother hooked me on, soaps were actually GOOD back then, wow
13. Watching Saved by the Bell, and of course my childhood crush on Zack (Mark-Paul Gosselaur)
14. Pro Wrestling - I still watch sometimes, no matter how bad it gets, because the guys are still TO DIE FOR-hott!
15. Dancing alone (because I can't dance, I don't dance in public, so I dance alone)
16. Lifetime TV movies - sometimes I just can't resist watching one of those the whole way through
17. Softcore bikini movies from the late 80s and early 90s, like Bikini Summer II or The Bikini Carwash Company. I know they're supposed to be for straight guys, but if one's on, I still watch it.
18. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - I don't watch the new MMPR shows, in fact I wouldn't watch anything after the Zeo cast started changing. But I still love to watch those CORNY shows, especially the earlier episodes with Rita Repulsa. She was so rad!
I don't consider that a guilty pleasure anymore. Unless it would be a guilty pleasure that I don't like any of the characters except for Grace.Lazario wrote:7. Will & Grace

19. VH1's Strip Search - after only a short period, that show gets so boring.
20. Weird Al Yankovic - he was cool when I was a kid and I still like him, but I'm not so keen on admitting it.
21. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - I never could stand the really unfunny "field correspondents" and stupid unserious segments. But now I think I'm starting to understand the show's approach more and their jokes are starting to get funnier.
22. The (Bill) O'Reilly Factor - I like to keep myself informed on the upper-class conservatives point of view, even though Gene Hackman's character in The Birdcage would think Bill O'Reilly too liberal (Bill O'Reilly even appeared as himself on TNT's Judging Amy). Though I don't even consider myself a true liberal, I will admit Bill O'Reilly is a jerk who could really stand a day or two as a woman or a black person or a gay person, in order to learn a little something about empathy and hardship.

I thought I posted in this. Well, since I didn't, it's time I do:
- Ryan!
- Shopping (for DVDs and many other things; I'll even do "window shopping!)
- Shoes & Belts... buying them, wearing them, matching outfits with them.
- Chocolate
- Winnie the Pooh
- Strawberry Milkshakes & Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshakes
- Soul Classics, and music known as "oldies"; I'm still young, but I much prefer that over the 'music' blasted on the radios these days.
- Audrey Hepburn
- Julie Andrews
- The Nanny (particularly the chemistry between Niles & Fran, and Fran & Mr. Sheffield!)
- the internet, of course.
- Digital camera-ing; meaning taking too many pictures!
- French manicures; I don't pay to get them, but I do get my nails manicured with any colored tips from a close friend of mine.
- French fries. Potato skins. Crisscut Fries. Curly Fries. (I'm a carb-hater's worst nightmare.)
- EBAY
and of course..
- Anything with ROMANCE in it and carrying a ROMANTIC theme to it!

1. Popping in my Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin DVD on a lazy afternoon, and only watching the parts with the songs, with the words showing up on screen. Then singing those songs in my head through the rest of the day, especially in the shower.
2. Looking up the lyrics of Disney songs on the Internet and memorizing them.

Buffy: We have a marching jazz band?
Oz: Yeah, but, you know, since the best jazz is improvisational, we'd be going off in all directions, banging into floats... scary.

* Hating veggies, even though I am a vegan. (Not so much a pleasure as it is guilty.)
* How I spend my entire afternoon and morning on the internet (the only time I'm not online is when I'm at work and when I'm watching a movie). That's around 8 hours a day.
* Talking to my cats.
* Humongous Entertainment (Pajama Sam, Putt-Putt) and Nancy Drew PC games. I used to play them as a kid and they give me a nostalgia..feeling..thing. Nancy Drew computer games are harder than you think.

Fish Tacos and Del Taco

Monster Legacy
The Monster Legacy has good picture quality but not Criterian. (With that price, no complaints.) The DVD tend to an "A" classic Horror Monster like Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy, Invisible Man, Wolf Man and the Creature. The pictures and extra tend be very good and then you get 2-4 "B" movies that have reasonable quality with no extras. The sets are worth it just for the A's and the B's are worth watching if you are fan of classic horror. Unfortunately, the B's tend to be on flippers. 
The Bela Lugosi Collection is out 9/4 with The Black Cat (The "A" movie), The Raven, Murders Of Rue Morgue, Black Friday & Invisible Ray. All for $19 on Amazon with free shipping. (Rocky & Bullwinkle on same order.)

Everyone's gonna murder me...Disney Channel Stars 'A Dream is a Wish...' music video.
I don't know why, but I can't stop watching it. It's not even the whole thing! And I can't stop listening to Disneymania either. I can't stop wanting the other Disneymania CDs either. Someone help me.
Other more normal stuff...
