Guilty Pleasures.
Last night at The Meltdown, the topic was “guilty pleasures”, and after Jonah and Kumail talked about their own guilty pleasures, they opened it up to the audience. It was a beautiful, confessional outpouring (Bad Girls Club! Conservative talk radio!), and it inspired me to make a list of all my guilty pleasures.
- Sweet Valley High/Sweet Valley Middle School books (Yes, I bought the reboot, Sweet Valley Confidential, and yes, I loved it)
- Marshmallows (it’s amazing how many you can get in your mouth)
- The movie 300
- America’s Next Top Model, anytime it is on
- When I can’t sleep, I’ll use my Blackberry to read the most horrific news stories possible. Murder, torture, just the worst stuff. Usually that paralyzes me into passing out again, and then the next day I tell Kumail about all of them, which causes him to call me a “Bad News Bear”
- The soundtrack to Lost Boys
- Crime reports in my neighborhood
- Imitation crab meat
These are mine, what are yours?

Emo. Specifically 30 seconds to mars. I am embarassed that I am moved by the singing of Jared Leto and a choir of kids.
Movies:
Army of Darkness. Dorky lines that nerds love to quote almost as much as Monty Python.
The Party. Peter Sellers’ performance is borderline racist but damned funny. You should watch this with Kumail and see what he thinks!
