Weekly Geeks 2009-20: Guilty Pleasures

Friday, May 29, 2009

This week's task was sent in by Maree of Just Add Books, who's been thinking about those things that we do when we're not reading or blogging. Here's what Maree has to say:

The comments on this post of mine got me thinking about guilty pleasures. Non-reading guilty pleasures.

Mine at the time the post was written was American Idol. Particularly one contestant, as you can see. By now, the show is over, and the results are in, one way or another. But my inappropriate addiction to Idol got me thinking about the things we do that we love but that we don't like to admit to--our guilty pleasures. Mine is reality TV, which scratches that small, dark place that we all have.

So. Weekly Geeks, we're going into the confessional this week.

What's your non-reading guilty pleasure?
Trashy TV?
Trashier movies?
Junk food?

Share with the group. :)

Please post your link in the comments to this post, as Mr. Linky is out of commission at the moment (and if you've ever added Linkies to your blog, be sure to check in at Mr. Linky for info on how one simple step can help bring him back!).

And then, of course, visit the other Weekly Geeks to learn their deep, dark secrets--maybe you've got something in common with another Geek that you never dreamed of! Don't feel obligated to visit every single post, but when you do visit, remember to leave your "calling card" in the form of a comment. Comments build community!

I've been off visiting your posts and you've given me the courage to expose my guilty secrets:

Also I would have said Star Trek and other sci-fi stuff but I sense sci-fi may now be becoming cool again.

I hate to call them "guilty pleasures," but I definitely have a few of them :-).

Long-time lurker here.

Mine aren't terribly guilty but in company I do try to pretend that at least one of them doesn't exist.
