Confession time: Give us one of your guilty pleasures
I like to watch dating shows like BLIND DATE. However, I can't stand those * of Love shows or shows like the BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE

2. British tv series "Hotel Babylon"
Silly cotton candy tv, but very enjoyable, good for putting the brain in neutral.

I'm currently reading "Fire Lover" by Joseph Wambaugh. True story of an arson inspector in the Glendale (CA) Fire Dept. who set an incredible number of fires.

17. mystery books...
PD James, Dorothy Sayers, Margaret Maron, Martha Grimes, John Mortimer (Rumpole)

I read for pleasure almost exclusively. I'll read news, magazines, etc. so I can be informed, but I avoid 'heavy' books like the plague most of the time, it depends on how much I can cope with in my daily life. If life is tough or stressful, I won't be reading Carson McCullers or Marianne Robinson. I read those authors' books when I was in a safe place in my life; I haven't been in a safe place in a long time so I read to escape.

25. Okie dokie.
Miracle Whip (once in a while, now that we can buy it here)
Fresh flowers once a week during the winter
I buy the best art supplies available. I could get by with inferior art supplies, but the experience of making art with truly fine supplies somehow raises the bar for me. Hard to explain.
I listen to Kid Rock once or twice a year.

I don't really feel guilty about any of these, though.

28. Jay-Z
Some of his lyrics feature the normal "ho" and "gansta" talk, but others are actually quite witty. Take "99 Problems" for example--great song hitting on racial profiling.

I'll never forget listening to the Black Album on the plane flying into Las Vegas. It helped add to the experience.

29. Plugging my Stratocaster straight into my 1966 Fender Bassman....
Volume up to the limit, and wail away on random blues scales and power chords.

But the neighbor backlash is usually swift.

35. Yeah... Been there, done that....
Not lately, though. My current neighbors can't really call the cops on me, as they are also in violation of some city ordinances. And they know that I know! So it all works out...

37. Just about anything on the Food Network
TV about food? Honestly. It grates against my liberal "how-many-people-on-earth-are-starving-and-we-have-SO-MUCH" mentality.

40. Mine
TV: Big Brother, Young And The Restless

Books: Twilight series, though I was much happier with how Harry Potter ended.

Movies: Spaceballs

Music: taste is subjective and I hardly feel guilty at all about what I listen to, but here are a few:

Ashley Tisdale - Guilty Pleasure (much more fun than than her first album, it's hard to resist)
Jonas Brothers - A Little Bit Longer (the only album from them I like so far)
Britney Spears - In The Zone (also some individual Britney songs)
Stella Soleil - Dirty Little Secret (some pretty inventive pop even if her voice helps make this a guilty pleasure)
Ace Of Base - The Sign (song The Sign is the ultimate earworm)

Good/bad in music is also mostly subjective, though I wouldn't put Ashley's album in my best of 2009 list. All arts have a degree of subjectivity, but even more so music IMO.
