7 Guilty Pleasures

Life is been good.
The Peru trip is upon us, and that means that I'll soon be shifting back to the PERU BLOG
and lets face it, you would all prefer that anyway.
The night job will end in 12 more working days.... sweet. I like my job, but it messes up your life when you can't sleep when everyone else does.
Having to leave this apartment is a bummer. It was big, it was cheap, it was good times.
bla bla bla, on to the meat of the blog,

Guilty Pleasures

1) The Voice. This show has such important personalities as Christina Aguilera and Carson Daily. (That WAS sarcasm). But I couldn't help myself. Malu started watching it for some reason, and the first few episodes I found heavy on the gay personalities and was not really that impressed with some of the contestants. But somehow, I was drawn in. There was the seemingly necessary token person from Utah, there were some people I loved to hate, and the judges were funny and sniped each other. I found myself rooting for Javier Colon, a guy who sang an amazing version of Time After Time. (I have dubbed him, Javier, "El Angel" Colon).

2) Gangsta (you know I'm legit because I don't spell it 'gangster') music. (Or rap, or hip-hop, or whatever). I admit. I like it. I blame Shane R and Casey Harrison for corrupting me at a vulnerable and easily influenced period of my life ;). In any event, there it is.


3) Ceviche. It's raw fish, in lemon juice. Don't ask me why it's delicious, it just is. Now the real question is this: How did the Peruvians find a way to ruin the ever glorious potato by turning it into chuno, which is disgusting, but also manage to make something gross, like raw fish, palatable? It beats the heck outta me.

4) Techno. I really can't explain this, moving on.

5) Dragon Ball Z. This is like a really long, really repetitive, soap opera geared towards children and with all of the protagonists having ridiculous hair. All the same, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Vegeeta. And Piccolo. It may have taken several episodes for anything to happen, but as a 13 year old, I had plenty of free time weekday afternoons in the bustling metropolis of Fruitland, so I didn't mind.


6) Kittens. honestly, they are sooooo cute. I can't deny that I am basically unable to resist petting them and using a cute voice with little cats.


7) The Vagrant. This movie is pretty bad. Just ask The Rage and Politicchic. It is an early 90's movie. It is something along the vein of The Burbs or Beetlejuice, except arguable worse than either of those classics. I forced my group of peeps to watch it this Halloween and it was not too well received. I like it anyway.

Well, there you have it, some guilty pleasures. I have more, and will likely share them at some point. I think that you should post a few of your own guilty pleasures in the comments. (Those 2 of you who read this).

Currently the A Cappella Sing Off... I hate myself but I watch it on Hulu every Tuesday morning. I also love any crime dramas... most of them.
